You have a knack for understanding client needs and delivering market-leading solutions.

• Are ambitious and excited about the prospect of joining a small, close-knit team of experts and helping it to grow

The Exciting Part

Simple Machines is not your average consultancy or software engineering firm. Our team is comprised of inspiring technical leaders in Data Engineering, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. Our projects are data-focused and drive impactful business outcomes.

About the Role

We are looking for someone to join our close-knit team of experts in Sydney to help deliver our client engagements as we scale our ANZ business.

If you are passionate about turning data into valuable insights, possess a keen understanding of both business and technology, and excel in senior stakeholder management, then this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Here’s a brief overview of the role’s responsibilities:

Coalesce between business and engineering:

• Facilitate discussions and extract explicit and implicit institutional knowledge to inform technical requirements, acceptance criteria, feature overviews, test cases and other artefacts for the team to work from.
• Document and present information in ways that are accessible to multiple customer groups with varied context and background.

Drive the team’s direction.

• Understand business goals and persuade the client and the SM team on what should be done and why.
• Clearly articulate how our team’s work creates value for our clients.

Increase the team’s speed.

• Enable decision making through communication of relevant information and context in a digestible format.
• Anticipate dependencies and remove impediments to the team’s progress.

Assure the team’s focus.

• Protect the engineering team from day to day ‘noise’.
• Embed and optimise processes to handle our scope of work and new demand.

Assure SM’s position with the client.

• Build and nurture relationships with clients at all levels, building your position as a trusted advisor for our clients.
• Help to manage SM’s delivery risk through proactively identifying, escalating and managing risks.

Working at Simple Machines

We’re looking for someone who’s as passionate as we are about building a world-class technology company specialising in engineering for data.

Just some of the benefits of working with Simple Machines include:

• Flexible working: Want to work from home or leave early to pick up the kids? Need to start early some days, later on others? No problem!
• Generous parental leave: Three months’ fully paid primary carer leave and one month fully paid secondary carer leave, subject to a minimum 12 month tenure
• Learning and development: We all love continually learning and have a generous budget for you to upskill, join conferences, get certified and qualified
• Lunch is on us. Always! We happily supply lunch at each of our office locations every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Purpose of your role

The Business Analyst position is a key role that is responsible for applying analytical solutions to problems and existing processes with the aim to increase effectiveness through technology solutions.  This role plays an integral part in bridging the gap between Technology, Product and the Business using data analytics to assess processes and determine requirements that will allow Technology delivery teams to effectively meet business needs.  An ability to produce documentation (in a timely manner) that supports either product or project teams to achieve outcomes, using different delivery methodologies is an important part of the role, so a blend of experience is important particularly in terms of agile delivery. 

The initial focus will be working with our Customer Management team, with Salesforce transformation experience essential. The focus will be on working both transformation change initiatives and operational BAU activities that support our Customer Management capabilities team. You will be providing business expertise and practical solution delivery experience to ensure that the team you are working with consistently delivers quality software that meets user product requirements and acceptance criteria. The role will support dependency management and help to remove impediments that are preventing the team from accomplishing its goals.

This role is within a fast-moving team and will involve working with some ambiguity to achieve objectives, so you must be comfortable with that. As such you will be expected to take initiative and display strong communication and time-management skills to facilitate meetings that ensure teams and stakeholders are aligned on the outcomes.

What you do 

• Determine operational objectives by studying business functions; gathering information; evaluating output requirements and formats.  Understand how technology can support business goals
• Identify problems within the business, including using data modelling techniques, constructing workflow diagrams, studying system capabilities, writing specifications
• Communicate with people at all levels of the organisation to determine how technology solutions can meet business needs
• Oversee the implementation of new technology and systems, including enhancements and be a key person to conduct UAT to ensure what has been developed is in line with business requirements
• Run workshops and training sessions
• Evaluate information gathered from multiple sources, reconcile conflicts, decompose high level information into details, abstract up from low-level information to a general understanding, and distinguish user requests from underlying true business needs
• Conduct gap analysis and work with technical leads/architects to identify where existing solutions do not meet the business requirements. Ensure this is clearly documented.  Model the data requirements or work with the appropriate people to ensure that the data will support the new solution
• Determine and develop user requirements for systems in production, to ensure maximum usability
• Work with the SME’s to understand the Customer Management experience and journeys end-to-end
• Strong experience in Salesforce implementations and acting as the SME for Salesforce
• Knowledge of compliance, regulations and customer onboarding processes
• Experience working with Salesforce development teams, either internal teams or 3rd party implementation partners
