About the Role
We are looking for a commercially minded, analytical and proactive Business Analyst who can understand how businesses operate, identify operational inefficiencies and recognise opportunities where AI, automation and technology can deliver meaningful improvements.
You will play an important role in our consulting and discovery process, engaging with stakeholders to understand their business challenges, analysing existing processes and translating findings into clear requirements and actionable recommendations.
Working alongside our AI engineering team, you will help bridge the gap between business needs and technical implementation.
This is not simply a documentation or requirements-gathering position. We need someone who can think critically, ask the right questions, challenge existing processes and understand the underlying problems that technology should solve.

Identify business processes and activities that could benefit from AI, intelligent automation or workflow optimisation.
Investigate operational problems and determine where AI-driven solutions may provide practical business value.

Translate business needs into clear business requirements, functional requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria.

Consolidate findings across 12 business functions and approximately 60 process areas.
Identify recurring processes, system dependencies, manual tasks and potential automation opportunities.
Translate discovery findings into structured business analysis outputs and automation recommendations.
Support the preparation of client-facing documentation and Automation Map deliverables.
- Process Improvement & Continuous Improvement
Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency and business processes.
Evaluate existing workflows and recommend practical improvements.
Develop reusable business analysis frameworks, templates and documentation.
Maintain accurate records of requirements, assumptions, findings and decisions.
Contribute to improving Maintain's consulting methodology and delivery processes.
Requirements
Approximately 4–5+ years of relevant professional experience in business analysis, business process improvement, technology consulting, digital transformation or a closely related discipline.
Demonstrable experience conducting business discovery, stakeholder interviews and requirements-gathering activities.
Strong understanding of business processes, operational workflows and process improvement methodologies.
Experience identifying business problems and translating them into practical technology or process solutions.
Ability to document business requirements, functional requirements, user stories and process maps.
