We are looking for a Business Analyst to join the Service Design team on a permanent contract. The Fund is committed to growing user-centred design skills and best practice across the organisation, as well as embedding these approaches, tools, and techniques into our everyday work, especially in terms of our funding.

You are instrumental in facilitating the design and development of accessible user-centred services, supporting our grant-holders, the communities they serve, and the Fund’s frontline staff. Working with a User-centred Design approach in a multidisciplinary effort you are expected to ensure the pieces fit together.

You’ll join our dedicated Service design team of 14 staff but often working in smaller cross functional teams where you'll be at the heart of the product; driving this forward, gaining insight into users' intentions and behaviours, and utilising this knowledge to create solutions that are accessible and inclusive, and meet customer needs. Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, you’ll also maintain strong relationships with our key stakeholders in the business.

· You’re genuinely interested in and passionate about engaging and communicating effectively with customers and developers to deliver the best possible user experience.

· Critical to your success is your ability to develop an expert understanding of the needs of our users, both internal and external. You champion these needs as you develop prototypes and designs to improve services. ·

· Your role may potentially cover a wide range of organisational challenges – anything that involves a process or an end-to-end service. You’re expected to look for ways to continually improve these services and to be an advocate within for continuous improvement within the Fund.

· Your role requires you to engage effectively with users and stakeholders (including at senior level) to ensure they are clear on the benefits of the products/services, ensuring that their feedback is being used to inform ongoing improvements.

· You need good attention to detail and an ability to cut through large amounts of data and opinion to get to the heart of what matters. You are recognised as a problem solver with the ability to make pragmatic decisions and get buy-in from others.
