Are you experienced in supporting business applications and helping users solve system and process-related issues? Do you enjoy translating technical information into clear, practical guidance and identifying ways to improve system use, user experience and data quality? If so, this could be the opportunity for you.

We’re looking for a Business Applications Analyst to join our Applications Support team within Information Technology. You’ll provide functional, user-focused support across a portfolio of SaaS and enterprise business applications, helping ensure our systems are used effectively, consistently and in line with agreed business processes.

Acting as a key link between business users, Product Owners and technical teams, you’ll resolve day-to-day application issues, improve users’ confidence and capability, and help reduce recurring support demand.

• Act as a key point of contact for business users, responding to system queries and providing clear, practical guidance on application use and business processes
• Help colleagues understand how applications are designed to be used, promoting consistent working practices and adherence to agreed processes and controls
• Engage proactively with users and stakeholders to identify incorrect system use, areas of misunderstanding and process gaps that may be increasing support demand or affecting data quality
• Deliver user training and knowledge-sharing activities that help colleagues use business applications confidently and effectively
• Work closely with the Applications Support Manager and Product Owners to identify opportunities to improve services, system usability and business processes
• Monitor incident trends and recurring issues, contributing to problem management and recommending preventative improvements
• Support the transition of new and changed services into business-as-usual operations through user-readiness activities, documentation and knowledge transfer
• Follow IT Service Management processes, including Incident, Problem, Change and Knowledge Management, while maintaining clear and accurate records

More About You

• Experience working in housing or a similar sector
• An ITIL or equivalent service management qualification
• Experience supporting business applications in a user-facing environment
• Experience using NEC system (highly desirable)
• The ability to provide clear, practical guidance to colleagues with different levels of technical knowledge
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and recommend practical improvements
• Experience working with third-party support providers and managing escalations
• A good understanding of IT Service Management processes, including Incident, Problem, Change and Knowledge Management
