Work alongside Group IT and PMO to ensure business readiness for system rollouts.
Lead business-side UAT coordination and solution validation.
Continuous Improvement & Governance
Identify inefficiencies and drive automation or simplification opportunities.
Maintain traceable requirements documentation aligned to PMO governance standards.
Act as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring mutual clarity and accountability.
Requirements
What You'll Bring:
At least 5-8 years proven experience as a Business Analyst within a systems-driven organisation.
Strong exposure to ERP and/or CRM platforms (Microsoft Dynamics 365 and/or Business Central desirable).
Experience supporting cross-functional system initiatives beyond Finance (HR, Commercial, Operations, IT).
Demonstrable experience leading workshops and influencing stakeholders without direct authority.
Strong understanding of end-to-end business processes (Order-to-Cash, Forecasting, Reporting, Data Governance).
Experience supporting system implementations, rollouts, or integrations.
Excellent analytical, documentation and stakeholder management skills.
Collaborate with the PMO to define and operate a robust Business Analyst framework, ensuring consistency, quality, and repeatability.
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, acquisition-driven, multi-entity environment.
Confidence in constructively challenging inefficient and fragmented processes, with a clear focus on increasing productivity, operational efficiencies and reducing business and operational risk.
Travel to QBS locations on an as-needed basis to support role responsibilities.
