About the Role
This is a focused Senior Business Analyst discovery role with our Federal Government client. You will define the MVP requirements for a secure data and intelligence capability and create the roadmap for what happens next.

The work is deliberately requirements-focused. You will uncover business, data, governance, access and technical enablement needs, validate priorities and turn them into clear decision-ready artefacts. You are not being hired to build the system or lead implementation.

What You'll Be Doing

• Define MVP requirements for a secure data and intelligence capability
• Define business and operational use cases across internal and public-facing needs
• Elicit requirements from investigation, policy, data, governance and technology stakeholders
• Define data, access, security, information management and auditability requirements
• Identify risks, assumptions, constraints, dependencies and decisions
• Validate and prioritise requirements with senior stakeholders
• Produce clear, decision-ready and procurement-ready requirements artefacts
• Develop a practical roadmap for future delivery stages

What You Bring (Essential Criteria)

• You've led senior business analysis, discovery or requirements-definition engagements
• You've produced business, data, reporting, governance, access, functional and non-functional requirements
• You can elicit, analyse, validate, prioritise and document complex requirements
• You've worked across business, data, governance and technical stakeholder groups
• You can turn complex discovery into clear, decision-ready artefacts and roadmaps
• You can manage scope, risks, assumptions and dependencies within a fixed discovery window
• You're an Australian citizen
• You must hold a current NV1 clearance or above

Nice to Have (Desirable Criteria)

• Experience in trade, customs/import data, market intelligence or supply chain resilience
• Experience defining requirements for secure data environments
• Experience with complex government, trade or market datasets
• Experience in an economic, regulatory, industry or data-intensive Commonwealth environment

This is a short, focused engagement where strong analysis will directly shape future delivery decisions. Roles like this move fast - apply now and keep more of your rate with Effective People's free payroll service.
