Responsibilities
Role Overview
This position sits within a technology function responsible for translating business needs into practical, reliable technology solutions for transaction-oriented services.
The successful candidate will work across business, operations, technology teams and external delivery partners, taking functional requirements from initial analysis through solution review, testing, implementation and post-delivery support. The role requires strong analytical capability, an understanding of transaction processing, and the confidence to work independently while coordinating multiple stakeholders.
The position is suited to an experienced Business Analyst or Functional Analyst who can operate across the full delivery lifecycle and contribute effectively in a complex, multi-market environment.
Scope of the Role
The role combines business analysis, functional solution assessment, testing coordination and implementation support. You will be involved throughout the delivery lifecycle rather than focusing solely on requirements gathering.
The work will involve established transaction and cash-service capabilities as well as enhancements and new functionality. You will need to understand how changes affect business processes, technology interfaces, downstream processing and end users, while ensuring that delivered solutions meet agreed functional requirements.
Success in the role will depend on your ability to turn complex requirements into clear outcomes, identify gaps early, coordinate effectively with delivery partners and stakeholders, and maintain a strong focus on solution quality from analysis through implementation.

Requirements and Solution Delivery
- Create structured user requirements and user stories for technology delivery teams and external suppliers.
- Facilitate requirements clarification and refinement sessions, ensuring outstanding questions are resolved.
- Assess functional specifications, solution proposals and designs against agreed requirements.
- Review proposed technical solutions from a functional perspective and identify gaps or inconsistencies.
- Participate in the development of new capabilities alongside other technology and project teams.
- Contribute to end-to-end solution design for new or enhanced services.
Testing and Implementation
- Review system and integration test scenarios and investigate defects identified during testing.
- Coordinate with product stakeholders, delivery teams and suppliers to clarify issues and monitor remediation.
- Develop or contribute to user acceptance testing strategies, scenarios and execution plans.
- Act as a link between business stakeholders and testing teams throughout formal test phases.
- Ensure defects are appropriately documented, followed up and resolved within agreed delivery timelines.
- Provide functional clarification during system, acceptance, regression and implementation-readiness testing.
- Support business users during deployment activities, including post-deployment validation and transaction checks.
Operational Support and Continuous Improvement
- Investigate issues independently, determine appropriate solutions and escalate matters when required.
- Support ongoing operational activities by maintaining effective communication with business and operations teams.
- Contribute to initiatives aimed at improving solution quality and reducing defects reaching production.
- Share functional knowledge through guidance, training and knowledge-transfer activities.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues and delivery partners to resolve issues and maintain service continuity.
