What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in business analysis and requirements management while contributing to innovative projects in a collaborative environment.

I am a Senior Business Analyst with over 20 years of experience managing requirements on large and complex systems. My expertise lies in identifying business requirements from various stakeholders and translating them into technical specifications. I have successfully managed requirements for high-profile projects in defense and railway sectors, both in the UK and internationally.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in change management and impact analysis, ensuring that all project requirements are met while maintaining traceability and preventing scope creep. I have a proven track record of producing dashboards to communicate project progress and risks, and I have supported multiple engineering disciplines simultaneously, showcasing my ability to multitask and lead effectively.
