About Scrumconnect Consulting
Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy, recognised for delivering impactful and innovative technology solutions across UK government departments. Our work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens.
We are passionate about user-centred design, agile delivery, and building digital services that make a real difference. Our teams work at the forefront of innovation, helping organisations transform and deliver high-quality, scalable solutions that truly matter.

We are looking for a Business Analyst to join a short discovery into content request and publishing processes. You will uncover the real problems behind slow, poor-quality requests and define the requirements used to assess service-desk and chatbot options.

What you will do
  • Plan and run interviews, workshops and process walkthroughs with team members and stakeholders.

  • Document the current end-to-end request journey: submission, triage, validation, prioritisation, allocation, escalation, publishing and closure.

  • Quantify, where evidence allows, request volumes, hand-offs, delays, rework, failure demand, deadline risks and data quality issues.

  • Identify pain points and root causes, such as front-door inefficiency, poor-quality requests and limited auditability.

  • Create current-state and future-state process maps, including a manual process using a helpdesk and a structured intake form.

  • Define requirements for intake forms, queues, agents, statuses, service levels, dashboards, escalation, approvals and audit records.

  • Specify the validation rules the chatbot or intake process should apply, such as content formatting, missing source data, broken links and deadlines that fall short of agreed service standards.

  • Develop personas, user journeys, use cases, user stories and acceptance criteria.

  • Maintain traceability between problems, requirements, prototype features and findings.

  • Support prototype testing, capture structured feedback and assess whether the options solve the original problems.

  • Record assumptions, dependencies, risks, decisions and open questions.

  • Contribute to the options assessment, operating model implications, roadmap and final recommendations.

Expected outputs
  • Current-state and future-state process maps.

  • Stakeholder, user and operational needs.

  • Prioritised business and functional requirements.

  • Business rules and validation requirements.

  • Personas, user journeys, use cases and user stories.

  • Prototype acceptance criteria and feedback findings.

  • Requirements traceability and input to the options assessment.

What you will bring
  • Strong Business Analyst experience in digital discovery, service design, workflow or process transformation.

  • Process mapping using techniques such as BPMN, SIPOC, value-stream mapping or service blueprints.

  • Ability to gather requirements from operational, content, product and technical stakeholders.

  • Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, functional requirements and traceability artefacts.

  • Strong analytical skills, including the ability to distinguish symptoms from root causes.

  • Experience supporting prototype definition, user testing and options evaluation.

  • Strong workshop facilitation, stakeholder management and written communication skills.

  • Ability to work at pace and focus on the minimum evidence needed in a short discovery.

  • Experience in UK government, public services or a regulated delivery environment.

Desirable
  • Experience with content publishing, request management, workflow or service-desk services.

  • Familiarity with government content standards and accessibility requirements.

  • Understanding of Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365 or similar case management tools.

  • The BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis or equivalent practical experience.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
