Division and Directorate
E-Serve - Change Hub
Location
Glasgow
Number of positions and contract type
1 Fixed Term Contract - 18 months
Purpose
Ofgem's E-Serve division administer the Department for Business Energy and Industry Strategy's (BEIS) environmental schemes and consumer social programmes. The schemes range from renewables incentives, to energy efficiency and social programmes. We work with energy companies, consumer groups and other stakeholders to ensure that policy targets are met in the most economical and consumer conscious ways possible.
The Change Hub directorate within the E-Serve division is responsible for Strategic Change initiatives, Programme & Project Management, Process Improvements, Business Solutions and Technical Architecture.
As a Business Analyst you will be part of a high performing, multi-disciplinary team using agile methodologies in a fast-moving environment, the ability to work at pace is essential.
You will work on projects across the remit from strategic change initiatives, regulatory changes and general process improvements. Working with multi-disciplinary agile teams, internal stakeholders, third party development partners and external stakeholders as appropriate.
You will support business users at varying levels of interest, motivation and knowledge through the change process. You will deliver process maps, wireframes, user stories and appropriate artefacts to support project success.
Your methods and deliverables will adhere to the Government Digital Standards (GDS) and public sector regulations including accessibility and security.
You will be the kind of person that doesn't accept assertions at face value; you will be enquiring, discovering the real underlying issues and/or opportunities. Your wilful enquiring attitude will learn the driving factors behind service users reported needs: what are the real deadlines, what actually needs to be delivered by those deadlines, have all stakeholders been identified and engaged, what specifically is to be delivered and what the cost/benefits of meeting deadlines or choosing to prioritise other work instead.
As a Business Analyst you will be expected to have an inquiring mind; somebody who readily gains rapport with others and somebody who isn't afraid to encourage people to think about their work from perspectives that may not come naturally to them.
Your attitude will be that of somebody who sees how challenges can be overcome, rather than somebody who sees problems that prevent progress.
