LEVEL UP YOUR CAREER | BUSINESS ANALYST
BUSINESS ANALYST |
DEPENDING ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND ABILITY AS A BUSINESS ANALYST, YOU WOULD FALL INTO ONE OF THESE ROLES:
WE SEE OUR BUSINESS ANALYSTS AS THE GLUE THAT HELPS US KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER, SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS ON GETTING THE RIGHT SOLUTION TO THE CUSTOMER. Our Business Analyst role covers the business-focused functions such as business process modelling, business architecture, strategy, management consulting as well as the technical areas - such as systems analysis, user experience and even data analysis.
TEAM LEAD Our Team Lead role is ideal for those who love to code whilst also wanting exposure to management and leadership. For more information, please refer to the Team Lead page.
JUNIOR BUSINESS ANALYST Whilst this role may be an entry into the field, our expectations are still high, but you will receive a bit more guidance. With time, a Business Analyst will learn good principles: how to work with stakeholders, software engineers, customers, product owners, testers etc. and how systems fit together, amongst many other things. INTERMEDIATE BUSINESS ANALYST If you’re at this point in your career it means that you now have some experience; you are working independently and you are able to provide guidance to more junior teammates. As an Intermediate you are expected to be skilled enough to assist others. You also have a good sense of things like the domain and stakeholder engagement. You should be running project-level responsibilities independently, gathering and communicating requirements at a respectable level, but will probably still lack the ability and experience to run an engagement from end-to-end. SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYST Senior Business Analysts must have deep experience informing their decisions. You've worked across multiple domains, systems, and processes, enabling you to quickly grasp new requirements and contexts. At this level, you fully manage small engagements end-to-end: meeting customers, gathering and documenting requirements, sizing, project management, and delivery – whilst mentoring others. You've proven your capabilities in scoping, expectation management, architecture, design, and stakeholder management. You must also demonstrate the maturity and soft skills Entelect Seniors are known for: holding others accountable, influencing change, galvanising teams, and managing expectations across customers and team members. BUSINESS ANALYST CRAFT LEAD The Business Analyst Lead is the senior-most Business Analyst role at Entelect, equivalent to our Tech Lead positions. You'll guide craft direction, mentor team members, and lead project delivery while serving as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert to customers and peers. This role suits senior professionals who want to advance primarily through craft expertise rather than people management. Business Analyst Leads demonstrate leadership in project delivery and contribute to broader initiatives including business development, recruitment, learning and development, and their Community of Practice.
BEING A BUSINESS ANALYST HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE DOCUMENTATION YOU DELIVER, BUT MORE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING KEY AREAS: • SOLUTION FOCUS: We care about the solutions our Analysts help deliver more than the quality of the documents. That is not to say poor documentation is acceptable. • • COMMUNICATION: Analysts need to be naturally strong communicators, as it is their underpinning function. This is no different when it comes to joining Entelect in the role of a Business Analyst. • • ADAPTABILITY: Adaptability is important to us. Typically, excellent Business Analysts have been in an environment for so long that they fully understand the domain, know exactly who to speak to and how to speak to them. We often don't have that luxury unfortunately, and as an Entelect Business Analyst you will need to quickly pick up a new domain, read people and understand how to communicate with them. Figuring out the business processes rapidly whilst adding value to delivery, is core. • • PROFESSIONALISM: Business Analysts interact with the customer directly – communicating face-to-face, over email, phone, Slack, WhatsApp, text or whatever makes sense and adds value. This is true for all levels, so an element of professionalism is very important to us. Being a Business Analyst at Entelect means you are now representing an organisation, a brand, but most importantly something you are intrinsically part of.
Every project and customer we work with is different. You will find that the process, environment, tooling, maturity of the customer’s software knowledge, and even our team composition will vary. This variation ultimately affects the role of the Analyst. Some customers follow a waterfall approach, so documents such as Business Requirements Specifications and Functional Requirements Specifications are delivered. Others may follow an Agile approach in which Use Cases with lighter Functional Requirements Documents are delivered. With that said, Business Analysts at Entelect are expected to be adaptable when it comes to the artefacts. business Analyst
