Business Analyst, Microsoft Stack Development & Infrastructure, Remote

Business Analyst required to join a global Professional Services business based in Central London. However, this is practically a remote role, but when travel is required (to London, Europe and the States on occasions), you will be reimbursed for your travel and accommodation.

The Business Analyst will work with stakeholders from key business units and related third parties to define and document business processes and software requirements for Global IT's product suite, including online products, content management systems, and business information systems.

The purpose of this position is to act as the pivot or intermediary between defined business stakeholder groups and IT to ensure that business requirements are delivered in IT solutions; inclusive of the development of reports, preparing information from internal and external data sources to support compliance-oriented business decisions, projects and other initiatives.

This is basically working alongside a Product Management team who are initially working on a major Microsoft Stack Technology Project, moving the company from old-school technology to Microsoft Entra. There is a Security, Infrastructure and Development side to this role, so anyone that has covered all 3 areas within a Microsoft Tech-Stack environment would be ideal. However, this is not essential but a good understanding would be preferred.

Anyone from industry sectors like the Big 4, Insurance, Accountancy or Banking would also be ideal for this role. We need this person to have hardened Business and Technical Stakeholder Management skills, who can manage stakeholders globally and sometimes attend face to face meetings in the likes of Europe and America. We also need someone who is tech / SDLC heavy in their experience and has managed significant platforms in the past from a Business Analysis perspective.

As this has global coverage, there may be some early / late calls. You must be prepared for this. There will be give and take with times, along with some flexibility if things are becoming quite taxing. However, we want someone dedicated and definitely not someone who wants a hardened 9am 5pm kind of position!

Experience required:

• Strong ability to converse with both business and IT employees at all levels of the organisation
• Microsoft Tech Stack experience within Infrastructure, Development and Security would be preferred
• Experience capturing requirements within a compliance-oriented environment
• Outstanding ability to analyse, isolate and interpret business needs and develop appropriate technical solutions
• Outstanding functional and technical specification writing/documentation skills
• Strong understanding of all aspects of the systems/software development lifecycle
• Technical knowledge of programming, system design, IT infrastructure and database concepts is desirable.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Strong customer service focus
• Able to work with multiple third-party vendors
• Ability to balance priorities among competing needs
• Well-developed interpersonal skills, including the ability to influence and drive other team members
• Tertiary or vendor aligned technical qualifications covering general business analysis and reporting (e.g. University IT or Business degree, certification e.g. Microsoft, ITIL).
• PMI or PRINCE 2 or Equivalent Business Analyst certification highly desirable
