About the Role

As the Business Analyst, you'll act as the key link between internal customers and the Data and Process Enablement team, supporting initiatives relating to Health New Zealand's Corporate Data Platform.

Working closely with business units, senior leaders, subject matter experts and the Business Intelligence and Insights (BI&I) team, you'll be responsible for understanding, analysing and documenting business intelligence requirements. You'll help translate stakeholder needs into clear, practical requirements that support the delivery of effective data and analytics solutions.

You'll facilitate requirements gathering through stakeholder conversations, interviews, document and business process analysis, and workshops. This will involve working with a range of customer groups to understand their needs, validate requirements and ensure they are complete, consistent and clearly documented.

You'll contribute to a variety of initiatives across the Corporate Data Platform, including advanced analytics, measuring analytics, augmented analytics, data quality tools, data and analytics platform development, data catalogue coordination and Qlik application development requirements.

A key part of the role will be ensuring the effective transfer of information and requirements to the Corporate Data Platform team, helping to maintain clear communication between business customers and technical specialists. You'll also contribute to technical specifications where required, identify potential issues and recommend improvements to business intelligence requirements processes.

You'll support the coordination of project deadlines, schedules and agreed methodologies, helping ensure initiatives remain aligned with the Corporate Data Platform Strategy.

This role offers an opportunity to work across a large and complex organisation, connecting business needs with data and analytics capabilities. Your work will help enable better use of business intelligence and advanced analytics to support informed decision-making and improved outcomes for patients, whānau and communities.

About you

We're looking for an analytical and collaborative Business Analyst who can build strong relationships with stakeholders and translate business needs into clear, well-defined requirements.

You'll bring:

• A bachelor's degree in IT, Engineering, Commerce or a related discipline.
• At least four years' experience in a role directly related to business analysis and requirements gathering.
• Demonstrated experience gathering, analysing, validating and documenting business requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a systematic approach to understanding and addressing business needs.
• Experience working within or alongside business intelligence teams, with an understanding of business intelligence and the value of advanced analytics to organisations.
• The ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and confidently to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Working knowledge of the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
• Strong stakeholder engagement and interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels of an organisation.
• The ability to manage competing priorities, work across multiple initiatives and deliver to tight deadlines with minimal supervision.

Experience working within a healthcare environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.

You'll be a clear and adaptable communicator who enjoys working with a variety of people to understand their needs and find practical solutions. You'll bring curiosity, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous improvement, along with the ability to build trusted relationships and work collaboratively towards shared goals.

You'll also demonstrate a high level of professionalism, integrity and personal accountability, taking ownership of your work while contributing positively to a supportive and inclusive team environment.
