Are you an inquisitive problem solver who enjoys understanding how businesses operate - and how technology can help them improve?
Do you enjoy building relationships, leading change, and turning ideas into measurable results?
We are looking for an Intermediate Business Analyst to join our Business Solutions Group supporting the Construction & Equipment Division. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to do more than document requirements: you will work with business and technology leaders, shape priorities, lead important initiatives, and contribute to the digital evolution of diverse operating businesses.
You do not need to be the most technical person in the room. You do need curiosity, business judgement, and the leadership skills to bring people together around a shared outcome.
As your capabilities grow, you will have opportunities to take on more complex initiatives, deepen business relationships, mentor others, and expand your leadership contribution.

Shape solutions that create measurable value
Discover and analyse business needs, including the underlying issues behind initial requests.
Translate objectives into capabilities, requirements, user stories, process designs, and success measures.
Identify opportunities to simplify work, improve controls, reduce risk, improve data quality, and increase productivity.
Work with diverse JDI IT and business teams to deliver capabilities that help our businesses improve, grow, compete, and win.
Lead change and delivery
Lead or contribute to business and technology initiatives from discovery through implementation and value realisation.
Facilitate workshops and decision-making sessions with stakeholders at multiple levels.

Experience contributing to or leading cross-functional projects and change initiatives.
The ambition, self-awareness, and motivation to keep growing as a business and people leader.
