Our Business Analysts (BA) specialize in a crucial part of software development function, on top of the basic responsibilities expected of a BA.

How is it like working here?

• In-depth learning â€" As a BA deployed in our partnered agency, you will learn their ins and outs, and pick up useful knowledge about the particular business domain. You will be involved in the different stages of a project development cycle, and will gain a greater appreciation of the entire process.
• Career development â€" You will be placed on a specialized career track carved out for BA, and depending on your entry point, you will progress to be an expert in your function at your own pace. If handling a project lifecycle is something you are keen in, a project management track is also available. In addition, you can be rotated to a different domain after 3 â€" 5 years to broaden your horizon and let you get a taste of what it is like in another agency.
• Tightly knitted team â€" Most of the IT teams in the agencies are formed up by GovTech officers. That means your peers and supervisors are fellow GovTechies, so it’s like having your family around you in a new environment. You are then able to leverage, collaborate and synergise efforts with each other.
