• Elicit, analyse and document business requirements (user stories, use cases) in Confluence

• Work with architects and developers to validate functional designs against requirements and architecture
• Define and run test strategies, write test cases, and support defect and root cause analysis through testing and post–implementation
• Model processes in Bizzdesign and contribute to the enterprise process repository
• Support transition to run, including documentation, knowledge transfer and end–user support
• Flag risks and issues to the project manager with proposed mitigations
• Coordinate across business, IT and external vendors, and report on requirements status, progress and risk
• Contribute detailed requirements input to backlog refinement and prioritisation
• Contribute to project closure and lessons learned

What you'll bring

• Fluent French and English, written and spoken (essential)
• 10+ years as a Business Analyst or in a similar role
• A strong track record in both business and functional requirements engineering
• Experience in process modelling and improvement
• Experience in test planning, test case writing and validation
• Experience in business case preparation and analysis
• Delivery across Agile, Waterfall or hybrid lifecycles
• Experience working with solution architects, development teams and third–party vendors
• Confidence challenging business needs and existing processes with senior stakeholders

• Experience in transport, travel or other large operational environments
