About You

We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst who enjoys working closely with people to make complex processes clearer, simpler and more effective. In this role you will take the lead on improving how RMIT plans and allocates academic work as part of the Strategic Transformation Academic Resourcing and Timetabling project. You will spend much of your time on campus working with stakeholders, running workshops, mapping out how things work today and designing better future state processes that genuinely improve the experience of students and academics and teachers.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in large organisations and knows how to cut through complexity with clear thinking and strong documentation. You will work a minimum of four days per week on campus to support stronger collaboration and ensure you can fully engage with the people and processes that shape the project. If you have experience in higher education or other complex environments, enjoy bringing people together to solve problems and can turn messy information into meaningful insights, this is an opportunity to be part of a high profile project that will make a visible impact across the university.

To be successful in this position, you’ll have:

• Demonstrated experience as a Senior Business Analyst in large, complex enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated experience leading requirements gathering, analysis, business process mapping, and use case development for complex business and technology initiatives.
• Strong capability in developing current and future state process maps using recognised standards, with evidence of applying these in solution design and validation activities.
• Hands on experience facilitating problem definition, solutioning discussions, and translating business needs into clear end to end business capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to work with senior and executive stakeholders, with strong communication, influencing, and consultation skills.
• Proven analytical and critical thinking skills, with the ability to work through ambiguity and deliver high quality outcomes independently.
• Experience in the university sector, preferably with academic resource/workforce planning, with an understanding of dual-sector universities.

Please Note: Appointment to this position is subject to passing a Working with Children and National Police Check.
