Responsibilities:

• Define MVP requirements for an early warning capability and associated secure data environment.

• Identify and document business and operational use cases, including public-facing dashboards, internal reporting, investigation activities and risk monitoring.

• Engage with stakeholders to understand requirements relating to risk signals, data patterns, entity relationships and market indicators.

• Identify and document requirements for approved internal and external data sources.

• Assess existing capabilities, lessons learned and relevant use cases to inform future capability development.

• Define governance, security, data access, information management and auditability requirements.

• Identify business requirements for secure data receipt, storage, access, analysis and reporting.

• Document requirements and dependencies associated with future data-sharing arrangements.

• Facilitate stakeholder consultation with business representatives, technical teams, governance specialists and subject matter experts.

• Identify and document risks, assumptions, constraints, dependencies and decisions required before future delivery activities.

• Validate and prioritise requirements to ensure alignment with business objectives and operational needs.

• Develop a roadmap outlining future stages of capability development and implementation.

Requirements:

• Demonstrated experience undertaking business analysis, requirements discovery and stakeholder consultation engagements.

• Experience defining business, data, reporting, governance, access, functional and non-functional requirements.

• Proven ability to undertake requirements elicitation, analysis, validation, prioritisation and documentation.

• Experience developing business requirements and roadmaps to support future technology and data capabilities.

• Ability to produce clear, high-quality documentation and decision-ready deliverables.

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including experience working with subject matter experts and decision-makers.

• Experience identifying and managing project risks, assumptions, constraints and dependencies.

• Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver agreed outcomes within a time-boxed engagement.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication and documentation skills.

Key Capabilities:

• Business analysis and requirements engineering.

• Discovery workshops and stakeholder engagement.

• Business and operational use case definition.

• Data requirements analysis and reporting requirements.

• Functional and non-functional requirements documentation.

• Data governance, security and information management.

• Requirements validation, prioritisation and traceability.

• Risk, assumption, constraint and dependency management.

• MVP scope definition and roadmap development.

• Preparation of decision-ready documentation and deliverables.

• Stakeholder consultation and cross-functional collaboration.
