Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and inventory data sources across Operations, Finance, Procurement, and HR — what data exists, where it resides (systems, databases, files, third parties), who owns it, its format, and its quality/completeness at a descriptive level.
  • Conduct structured interviews and workshops with department stakeholders to gather and document business requirements for the AI platform's expansion.
  • Document findings using client’s standard formats (data catalogues, requirement templates) so outputs feed directly into the IT team's API design and build.
  • Support the IT team during API development by clarifying data sources, validating field-level details, chasing access and answers from the business, and supporting testing/validation of data flowing into the platform.
  • Maintain a structured log of open questions, decisions, and dependencies for each department.

What This Role Is Not

  • The following are explicitly out of scope for this role:
  • Solution development
  • Model or prompt engineering
  • System configuration
  • AI strategy or maturity assessment
  • Vendor analysis
  • Board advisory outputs

Essential

  • 2-3 years experience as a Business Analyst, ideally spanning multiple business functions (e.g. Operations, Finance, Procurement, HR).
  • Strong data discovery skills — comfortable identifying, mapping, and describing data sources, owners, and formats without needing to build or access the underlying systems.
  • Confident running structured interviews and workshops with stakeholders across departments and seniority levels.
  • Strong documentation discipline — able to produce clear, consistent outputs (data catalogues, requirements documents, RAID/decision logs) to a defined template.
  • Comfortable working alongside a technical/IT team, translating business input into a form that supports API design, without needing to design or build the APIs themselves.
  • Strong stakeholder management and follow-up skills — able to chase access, answers, and sign-off from busy business stakeholders.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Desirable

  • Prior experience on a data or AI/analytics platform programme (as a business-side analyst, not a technical builder).
  • Familiarity with data cataloguing concepts (data owners, lineage, quality, completeness) at a descriptive/non-technical level.
  • Experience working in or with Operations, Finance, Procurement, or HR functions specifically.

Engagement Details

  • **Duration:**
  • 3 months, with potential for extension depending on programme progress.
  • **Reports to:**
  • Client's Head of IT and programme lead.
  • **Deliverables:**
  • department-level data catalogues, documented business requirements, and a maintained log of open questions, decisions, and dependencies per department.
