Full Job Posting
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and inventory data sources across Operations, Finance, Procurement, and HR — what data exists, where it resides, who owns it, its format, and its quality/completeness.
- Conduct structured interviews and workshops with department stakeholders to gather and document business requirements for the AI platform's expansion.
- Document findings using client’s standard formats (data catalogues, requirement templates) so outputs feed directly into the IT team's API design and build.
- Support the IT team during API development by clarifying data sources, validating field level details, chasing access and answers from the business, and supporting testing/validation.
- Maintain a structured log of open questions, decisions, and dependencies for each department.
What This Role Is Not
- Solution development
- Model or prompt engineering
- System configuration
- AI strategy or maturity assessment
- Vendor analysis
- Board advisory outputs
Essential
- 2 3 years experience as a Business Analyst, ideally spanning multiple business functions (e.g. Operations, Finance, Procurement, HR).
- Strong data discovery skills — comfortable identifying, mapping, and describing data sources, owners, and formats without needing to build or access the underlying systems.
- Confident running structured interviews and workshops with stakeholders across departments and seniority levels.
- Strong documentation discipline — able to produce clear, consistent outputs (data catalogues, requirements documents, RAID/decision logs) to a defined template.
- Comfortable working alongside a technical/IT team, translating business input into a form that supports API design, without needing to design or build the APIs themselves.
- Strong stakeholder management and follow up skills — able to chase access, answers, and sign off from busy business stakeholders.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Desirable
- Prior experience on a data or AI/analytics platform programme (as a business side analyst, not a technical builder).
- Familiarity with data cataloguing concepts (data owners, lineage, quality, completeness) at a descriptive/non technical level.
- Experience working in or with Operations, Finance, Procurement, or HR functions specifically.
Engagement Details
- Duration: 3 months, with potential for extension depending on programme progress.
- Reports to: Client's Head of IT and programme lead.
- Deliverables: department level data catalogues, documented business requirements, and a maintained log of open questions, decisions, and dependencies per department.
