About the job

What You’ll Do

• Lead requirements elicitation with government stakeholders - workshops, interviews and working sessions - and turn business needs into structured, unambiguous requirements.

• Map as-is processes and design to-be service journeys using BPMN 2.0 and swimlanes, surfacing dependencies, hand-offs, SLAs and edge cases.

• Produce high-quality Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), business rules, functional specifications and wireframes.

• Write clean, decomposed user stories and Product Backlog Items with testable acceptance criteria, and manage them through Azure DevOps.

• Own requirements traceability from business objective through to delivered functionality and sign-off.

• Resolve conflicting requirements between departments - facilitate the decision, document it, and keep the programme moving.

• Capture non-functional requirements properly: security, data privacy, audit trail, performance and role-based access.

• Work day to day with developers, QA, UX and the project manager; support UAT and obtain formal client sign-off.

• Use AI tooling to accelerate analysis and documentation - with sound judgment on validation and the handling of sensitive government data.

Requirements

Essential

• Experience: 6+ years of hands-on business analysis on software delivery projects - genuine requirements work, not ERP configuration, pre-sales, QA or project coordination under a BA title.

• Government delivery: Proven experience on government or public-sector digital services in the UAE or wider GCC, with real exposure to government stakeholders and regulatory requirements.

• Documentation: Demonstrable strength in BRDs, business rules, functional specifications, user stories and acceptance criteria that development and QA teams can build and test from directly.

• Process modelling: Confident with BPMN 2.0, as-is / to-be mapping and swimlanes (Visio, Draw.io, Camunda or similar).

• Agile delivery: Comfortable owning a backlog and working in sprints, with Azure DevOps or Jira.

• Stakeholder skills: Able to facilitate workshops, handle conflict constructively, and communicate clearly with non-technical government stakeholders.

• Languages: Fluent Arabic and English, written and spoken - both are used daily on this program.

• Location: Currently based in the UAE with valid residency, and able to work on-site in Ajman.

• Availability: Able to join at short notice.
