We are currently looking for a skilled Business Analyst to join our team on a 1-year Fixed Term Contract to support a key system upgrade project. This role involves collaborating closely with internal stakeholders and our third-party implementation partner to ensure the successful upgrade of an existing system to its latest version.
In this role you will conduct in-depth analysis of current business processes and where areas will not upgrade cleanly manage process reengineering. You will be applying your expertise in methodology to create detailed documentation, including user stories, use cases, and process models.
As an experienced Business Analyst, you'll bring a winning combination of analytical skills, excellent stakeholder management abilities, and a passion for driving transformational change. If you're ready to leverage your talents to make a tangible impact, we want to hear from you.
Essential Skills:

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex business problems, analyse data, and provide practical solutions.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are crucial. As a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, you’ll need to convey ideas clearly and collaborate effectively.
At the RSC we embrace flexibility and offer hybrid working, which means our teams come together when they need to collaborate.
