• Build and maintain durable relationships with stakeholders, including business representatives, project stakeholders, team leads and external partners.
• Identify, analyse, document and validate existing business processes as well as new functional and non-functional user needs.

You contribute to the timely delivery of:
• Analysis documentation
• Software requirements specifications, including diagrams and detailed analysis
• Data models
