The Senior Business Analyst plays a critical role in understanding and assessing the impact of business changes and needs; analyzing and capturing requirements; communicating requirements to relevant stakeholders; and monitoring the build of the solution to ensure it meets the requirements.
The Senior Business Analyst must have a solid understanding of the client's existing business processes, the key drivers and measures of success for the business, and the short- and long-term direction of the business and related technologies. They must have a working knowledge of the business area that they support and should be equally aligned with the IT department. Through adaptable communication skills and the ability to translate between technical and business language, they work collaboratively, negotiating requirements across multiple groups. Strong leadership, relationship management, interpersonal, negotiation and communication skills are also required.
