• Support impact assessments by identifying affected systems, processes, interfaces, data, users and dependencies.

• Use data and analytical techniques to support investigations and evidence-based design decisions.

• Produce and maintain design artefacts for assigned changes, ensuring they are clear, consistent and traceable to agreed requirements.

• Work with Business Analysts, Solution Architects, Technology teams and product vendors to help translate requirements into practical system, process and data solutions.

• Support the review of vendor designs and proposals, helping identify gaps, inconsistencies and areas requiring further clarification.

• Build an understanding of the interdependencies between technology, data, operational and business requirements.

• Support system and service investigations, tracing issues through business rules, processes, data and system behaviour.

• Participate in design workshops and stakeholder discussions, communicating findings clearly.

• Maintain design and data artefacts including data catalogues, interface mappings and data flows.

• Contribute to the development of design governance standards, guidelines and the EMRS Architecture and Technology roadmap.

• Continue developing your broader system design, data and architecture capability through hands-on delivery and support from experienced colleagues.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand complex information and identify logical relationships and impacts.

• Experience in technical business analysis, data analysis, software delivery or a similar role, or demonstrable transferable experience suitable for developing into system design.

• An understanding of the software development lifecycle.

• Experience working within Agile, Waterfall or similar project or product delivery environments.

• Capability or experience using SQL, Python or similar tools for analysis.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical and business information clearly.

• A proactive approach to learning, seeking feedback and contributing to project and team activities.

• The ability to take ownership of assigned work while adapting to changing priorities and deadlines.

• An interest in understanding how business requirements, technology solutions and operational processes work together.
