Building and maintaining a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) through system and user acceptance testing. Contributing to testing activities (scenarios, acceptance criteria) and supporting UAT. Collaborating with the project team to jump into additional tasks and deliverables as needed. You’ll juggle competing priorities, navigate evolving project environments, and manage a broad stakeholder group—so adaptability, clarity and confidence are key. What You Bring To The Role You’re someone who knows how to take the lead with confidence, but also partner closely with others to deliver seamless outcomes. Your toolkit includes: 5–10 years’ experience as a Business Analyst with strong, demonstrated results. Excellent facilitation skills—you can run a workshop like a pro and extract the gold from every conversation.

Experience supporting ERP or systems integration projects (SAP experience highly regarded). Sharp analytical and problem-solving skills; meticulous attention to detail. A tech-agnostic mindset—focused on value, not tools. Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the confidence to engage executives, SMEs and technical teams.
