ABOUT KERV

At Kerv we harness the power of technology for the good of our people, our customers, our society and our planet. Technology is the enabler; impact is how we judge success. As a certified B Corp and Great Place To Work, we care deeply about how we show up for our people, our customers and the world around us.

THE ROLE

You’ll be part of the Business Analyst team in Kerv Digital. We help organisations unlock the power of technology to transform how they work, engage customers and drive business value. We combine deep expertise across Microsoft Business Applications, Power Platform, AI, DevOps, Data and cloud technologies.

We are looking for a passionate Business Analyst to join us and support the delivery of digital transformation projects across our customer base. This is primarily a Business Analysis role rather than a technical configuration or development role. We are looking for someone who can understand business problems, work closely with users and stakeholders, define clear requirements, and help delivery teams translate those requirements into effective digital services.

The role will initially support a Microsoft Power Platform and Power Pages project, so experience working on digital applications, portals, workflow solutions or similar technology-enabled transformation projects would be beneficial. Previous Dynamics 365 experience is not required.

Typical Responsibilities and deliverables will include:

• Gathering, analysing and documenting functional and non-functional requirements using appropriate techniques, both remotely and in person, within an Agile delivery environment.
• Translating business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and backlog items.
• Creating, refining and helping prioritise a structured delivery backlog alongside Product Owners, Solution Architects, developers and other delivery team members.
• Understanding existing business processes and identifying opportunities for simplification, process improvement and automation.
• Mapping current and future-state business processes and user journeys.
• Capturing data requirements, business rules, validation requirements and dependencies.
• Supporting the definition of digital user journeys, including internal users and external users accessing web-based services or portals.
• Working with stakeholders to define requirements around forms, workflow, notifications, access, authentication and information capture where appropriate.
• Influencing, managing and analysing a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.
• Acting as a subject matter expert and champion for agreed business requirements throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Creating clear and effective documentation for both business and technical audiences.
• Supporting sprint planning, backlog refinement, demonstrations, testing and User Acceptance Testing.
• Ensuring requirements remain traceable from initial discovery through to implementation and acceptance.
• Challenging requirements constructively to ensure that delivered functionality provides genuine business and user value.
• Developing a working understanding of the capabilities and limitations of Microsoft Power Platform, including Power Apps, Power Pages, Power Automate and Dataverse, in order to work effectively with technical delivery teams.
• Managing multiple priorities and helping ensure agreed delivery timescales are achieved.

Competencies & Experience:

• Able to demonstrate strong communication skills with all stakeholders.
• Able to cultivate and maintain relationships with all stakeholders.
• Can skilfully influence decisions.
• Political Awareness.
• An analytical thinker with attention to detail.
• Can demonstrate emotional intelligence when navigating difficult challenges.
• Self-starter, able to progress without direction (although support will always be there if needed).
• Must be a team player.

Professional attributes:

• Understands IT Project delivery and its lifecycle.
• Can demonstrate a varied range of requirement elicitation techniques.
• A solid understanding of Product Ownership.
• Understands the process of requirements engineering.
• Able to create, refine and progress a user story backlog.
• Proficient process and data modelling skills using industry standard notations.
• Understands the concept of change management.
• Strong facilitation skills.

What we can do for you:

• Real Flexibility – A healthy approach for most of our teams seems to be splitting three ways between home, customer sites and the office.
• Awesome Environment – all of our employees will tell you that we foster an easy-going environment, are experts at what we do and care deeply about what we work on.
• Interesting Work – these days most of our customers are household names and many of our projects have an important impact on the world around us.
• Great Benefits – all the usual suspects and then some, including excellent professional development support, private healthcare, company pension and well-stocked cupboards with tasty goodies.
