You may support one or several of these use cases, depending on priorities and your experience.

- Translate discovery outputs into clear epics, features, user stories, use cases, functional and non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria and supporting product documentation.
- Where applicable, create wireframes, mock-ups or prototypes using tools such as Figma to explore requirements, communicate ideas and validate potential solutions with users and stakeholders
- Identify integration, information and data requirements; including sources, definitions, data quality, ownership, security, timeliness and retention
- Work with the Product Owner to refine and prioritise the backlog, balancing safety, business value, user need, technical feasibility, risk, dependencies and delivery effort.
You have
- Proven experience as a Product Analyst, Business Analyst or similar role, translating complex business and user needs into clear requirements for technology delivery.
- Experience leading analysis across discovery, requirements, delivery, testing and implementation in an Agile or product-led environment.
- Strong process-analysis skills and practical experience producing artefacts such as process maps, user stories, use cases, acceptance criteria, data requirements and options assessments.
- An understanding of how data supports business processes and decisions, including basic concepts such as data sources, fields, definitions, quality and ownership.
- Ideally, experience in power generation, utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, transport, process industries or another safety-critical, asset-intensive industrial environment.
