The opportunity

The Digital and Technology service is key in delivering on this vision, with a growing team spanning across all areas of the University’s digital portfolio. The department is actively engaged in an exciting journey, transitioning from a ‘classic’ IT model to a product-structured, user-centric approach to technology.

You will play a key role, alongside other SBAs to lead our BA Community of Practice, and the day-to-day management of a group of Business Analysts within our portfolio, sharing knowledge and driving continuous improvement.

You will get the opportunity to work with stakeholders across the university to understand their existing and future business requirements, to review services and processes to identify where Digital and Technology can continue to add value. You will place the user at the centre of our design process and propose new solutions that can adapt and scale as user and university needs evolve.

Working across the full product lifecycle, you will be involved in discovery, requirements gathering, process mapping, testing, transition activities and support. You will play a pivotal role in the successful embedding of change within the organisation whilst encouraging and promoting best practice across the portfolio and analysis team.
