Success in this role will require strong stakeholder engagement skills, a methodical approach to analysis, and experience operating in environments subject to strict controls, compliance obligations, and defined operational standards.

• Experience engaging stakeholders across both technical and non‑technical domains
• Proven experience documenting business processes for ICT and/or scientific or forensic systems
• Strong capability in capturing functional and technical requirements, including those relating to specialised equipment
• Familiarity with cyber security principles and frameworks (e.g. ISM, Essential 8)
• Working knowledge of ITIL service management practices
• Experience delivering business analysis within highly regulated or security‑sensitive environments
• Ability to produce clear, structured documentation and reports for senior stakeholders
