• Partner closely with engineers to ensure requirements are well understood and implementable.
• Work alongside UX teams to ensure alignment between user needs and design solutions.
• Lead workshops and discovery sessions to uncover business goals and define the “why” behind requirements.
• Gather insights and feedback from cross‑functional teams including Commercial, Editorial, and Marketing.
• Support backlog grooming and prioritisation in partnership with the Head of Product and Engineering Leads.
• Identify opportunities for process and product improvement across Web, CMS, and AI initiatives.
• Champion Agile principles and contribute to iterative, value‑driven delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst in an Agile delivery environment.
• Strong understanding of the product development lifecycle and Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban).
• Excellent ability to write and communicate clear user stories and requirements.
• Experience working closely with engineering and UX/design teams.
• A collaborative, proactive mindset with the ability to influence and align diverse stakeholders.
• Highly organised and detail‑oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Enthusiastic, product‑focused outlook—ideally with an interest in digital publishing or media.
• Familiarity with tools such as Kanban boards, GitHub, Figma, and analytics platforms is a plus.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Make an impact on products reaching millions of users daily.
• Join a collaborative, forward‑thinking tech and product team.
• Enjoy a flexible hybrid working model.
• Help shape the digital future of one of the UK’s most influential media brands.
