Technical Business Analyst at a growing management consultancy known for the high quality of its work

CBO Projects is a leading Channel Islands management consultancy.  We are a trusted partner to our clients, known for our quality, reliability, value, and flexibility.

We mainly provide business analysis, project management, consultancy, change management and assurance services to clients in the financial, legal, insurance, utilities, and public sectors.  We primarily work with organisations who operate out of Guernsey and Jersey.  We do, however, work with companies based both in the UK and in other offshore jurisdictions.

In our first 11 years of delivering successful projects, we have repeatedly proven our expertise in delivering complex technological and digital change, including infrastructure upgrades, application implementations, and supporting organisations to move key services online.

As a Technical Business Analyst, you will bring your expertise to bear in work of this nature, ensuring that our clients’ requirements and processes are effectively supported by their IT systems.  Working alongside our other business analysts, skilled project managers, consultants and change managers, you will sit at the heart of a community of experts helping make significant technological changes succeed.

The Technical Business Analyst is responsible for ensuring that technology-focussed projects are delivered in a manner that is truly informed by, and meets, our clients’ needs.  This includes:

• Test management.

In this role, you will also be expected to contribute CBO’s work to ensure that we continue to provide an excellent quality service to clients, and a top-tier working environment for our colleagues.  This includes:

• Contributing to the maturing of our business analysis processes and standards, as an active member of our Business Analysis community of practice.
• Working with colleagues and clients to develop new projects and opportunities.
• Being an active participant in industry events – helping CBO be recognised as the ‘go to’ company for Business Analysis in the Channel Islands.

We are looking for people with the following skills and experience:

• Mentally acute and fast learning, with strong analytical skills.
