Business Analyst

As a Business Analyst you'll focus on translating customer and business requirements into a software design that fits within the Vista framework and helps to shape the future of our technical evolution.

What you’ll be doing

• Directly involved in scoping, requirements gathering, gap analysis and functional design, your collaborative and consultative approach is required to ensure that the proposed design has the buy-in of stakeholders at all levels across the business.
• Working alongside the product team and account managers, you’ll uncover both functional and non-functional requirements, working closely with engineering squads, architects, SMEs, UX designers, and other key stakeholders, to design fit-for purpose solutions.
• An understanding of both the end-user and the technical perspective is critical.
