We’re looking for a Data Business Analyst to join our wider Digital Technology & Data team on a 12-month fixed-term contract in Manchester. In this role, we’ll look to you to support work to onboard a new legal Case Management System (CMS).

• Analyse data sources, structures, and uses to help advise the design of data products and solutions
• Own the discovery of backlog items and prepare them for delivery
• Build positive relationships with internal and external partners; making sure that expectations are in line with the relevant roadmap(s)
• Facilitate workshops and attend daily stand-ups and project meetings
• Develop an understanding of business needs, and the appropriate digital technology and data solutions required to meet these

This role would suit people who have

• Significant experience working as a Business Analyst within a technology environment
• Experience successfully carrying out data migrations
• Experience working in an agile environment
• An understanding of data architecture and data technologies (including business intelligence technologies and concepts)
• Good communication skills, with the ability to translate technical language for a non-technical audience
• The ability to facilitate system and/or service design
