- Monitor project progress with the Project Managers, identifying potential issues and proposing effective solutions to ensure timely and successful project completion.
Key Skills and Qualifications:
- Proven experience in a software testing or development role, with a keen interest in transitioning to a business analyst position.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate technical jargon into business-friendly language.
- Outstanding organisational and analytical skills, with a detail-oriented approach to problem-solving.
- Experience in requirements gathering, process analysis, and documentation.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment as well as independently.
- Familiarity with Agile methodologies and project management tools is advantageous.
- Relevant tertiary qualification in Information Technology, Business Analysis, or a related field.
Benefits:
This is more than an entry-level position; it is a growth and development program the successful candidate will go through during full-time working with the client as part of their role.
The participant will receive formal monthly mentoring, monthly professional skills development workshops, an Australian Computer Society Membership, access to Business Analyst certification, technical workshops, ACS Accelerator individual learning pathways, and SFIA skills assessments throughout.
