You will produce clear, well structured business requirements documents, functional specifications, process maps and user stories, and will lead and facilitate requirements workshops, process walkthroughs and stakeholder interviews across the business. You will analyse current state processes across the product lifecycle, covering design, sourcing, PLM, range planning, allocation, warehousing and order to cash, identifying opportunities for improvement, and will work closely with solution architects, developers and third party implementation partners to ensure delivered solutions meet business needs.

Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, with the confidence to engage and influence senior business and IT stakeholders, along with a proven ability to write clear, structured business requirements, functional specifications and process documentation. Experience working within a structured project delivery methodology, whether Agile, Waterfall or hybrid, is expected, as are strong analytical skills and excellent written and verbal communication, with experience presenting to and facilitating workshops with senior stakeholders.
