6 month contract | Leeds (one day a week)
We're working with a well-known construction business to find a Business Analyst who can also own testing end-to-end. You'll be the single point of accountability for both, across projects ranging from straightforward to genuinely complex.
What you'll be doing
- On the analysis side: leading on business problem definition, mapping current and future-state processes (BPMN, swimlane), and eliciting, documenting and validating requirements through to formal sign-off and traceability. You'll manage scope, assumptions and change control, and contribute to business cases including options, costs, risks and benefits.
- On the test side: owning test strategy and test plans for your projects, defining scope, environments, entry/exit criteria and timelines. You'll run test kick-offs, manage defects through to closure, and coordinate testing across internal teams and third-party suppliers - including holding suppliers to account on quality and coverage.
- You'll work across Waterfall, Agile and hybrid delivery, adapting your approach accordingly, and you may also pick up light project management on smaller pieces of work.
What you'll need
- Proven end-to-end BA experience on large, complex projects or programmes
- Demonstrable ownership of test strategy, planning and execution - not just BA work with some testing.
