Overview of the role

Phoenix is a leading UK IT solutions and managed service provider, with a deep specialism in the public sector. We work with organisations across government, healthcare, defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charity sector - helping them modernise with confidence across cloud, data and AI, cyber security, and managed services.

• Act as a bridge between business stakeholders, management and software delivery teams.
• Work with product stakeholders to develop and maintain product roadmaps.
• Gather and analyse requirements through workshops, interviews, surveys and observation.
• Identify issues within current processes and systems, recommending improvements and solutions.
• Create functional specifications, user stories, workflows and process maps.
• Ensure requirements are clearly defined, documented and signed off by stakeholders.
• Act as the single point of truth for queries related to product story implementation.
• Communicate progress and delivery updates to stakeholders.
• Work with internal and external suppliers to ensure resources are available for delivery.
• Support the rollout of new systems and processes through documentation, demos and stakeholder engagement.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies such as daily stand-ups.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

• Work that matters: supporting the public sector organisations that keep the UK running, from government and healthcare to defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charities serving the most vulnerable in our communities.
• Working with the best of the industry: alongside genuine experts, and with strategic partnerships across the world's leading technology providers, you'll be at the front of the conversations shaping how UK public services modernise.
