Why this role?
This is a hands-on opportunity to work across the full lifecycle of a complex platform migration, from defining requirements and understanding legacy data through to testing, operational readiness, go-live and BAU transition. It would particularly suit a Senior BA who has previously been the “go-to” person on a migration , rather than someone whose experience has been limited to requirements gathering alone.
