The postholder will support the Trust to implement a new way of working using technology as an enabler, working alongside the project/product managers. The postholder would hold stakeholder workshops to map existing processes, using business analysis tools and techniques to identify the future operating model, using tried and tested approaches (such as MOSCOW) to score the criticality of specific requirements. The postholder would be required to document the requirements (or user stories in the case of Agile/Scrum) that can then be used to develop a product or procure a digital solution, creating the functional specification to be used when tendering (if appropriate). The postholder would be required to score solutions as part of the procurement exercise to ensure that the chosen product meets the essential criteria and develop user acceptance testing, leading this work to ensure that the product works as expected and aligns to the contractual specification.
