The Vacancy
At VIVID, we're embarking on an ambitious digital transformation programme to enable our new mission and to continue to drive forward with more skill and determination than ever before. We're investing in leading technologies to support our customer engagement strategy, create improved working for our staff, and deploy innovative solutions to improve the way our customers manage their homes. We are at the beginning of this exciting journey, initially focusing on CRM but extending to cover all core business process areas. We are looking to grow our business analysis team to work on this transformation programme alongside our product owners, business sponsors and partners.
We're recruiting for a talented and experienced Business Analyst to join our team. This is a permanent position, working 37 hours a week, with the flexibility of a mix of home and office working - our technical delivery teams are based out of our Portsmouth office.
One of our key values is to be a modern and vibrant workplace. We're keenly aware that the world has changed and working predominantly remotely is becoming the norm. With the ambition of this transformation project, and the need for proximity to the business and to work within a project team, the successful candidate will understand the need to be flexible with working in the office where required.

Here's the facts about the role:
As a business analyst, your role will be to work as part of a project team to gather and document business requirements, to define to-be processes, support change delivery and act as the link between the business and delivery teams. You'll run workshops to undertake 'as-is' and 'to-be' process mapping with process owners, SMEs and other stakeholders, providing guidance. You will challenge, recognise, develop and recommend improvements to processes and systems. As a business analyst, you'll develop and monitor improvement plans and provide support for reviews whilst always challenging the status quo and existing practices and advocating new approaches and ways of working.
Ideally, you'll have at least 2 years experience as a Business Analyst and hold a qualification in business analysis techniques or have equivalent experience. You'll demonstrate knowledge of business analysis techniques and processes. Experience of working on a CRM project and/or having experience of working on a MS Dynamics project would also be a bonus.
Having worked in a project and change environment, you must be able to relate well to other professional disciplines and have excellent communication and negotiation skills. You'll work productively in a team environment and be a good problem solver with a strong customer service orientation.
