About Us
Get ahead and stay ahead - Launched in July 2020, Kerv is a next-generation ‘customer-first, cloud-first’ provider, created to help customers achieve successful business outcomes in a new digital era. We are undergoing an exciting period of growth and transformation following the acquisition of seven highly successful organisations.
The Transformation Team is responsible for directing the design, deployment and integration of Kerv’s operating model. This includes technology, systems & business process. The team includes functions such as Enterprise/Solution Architecture, Development, Programme Management & Business Analysis.
This is an exhilarating time to join the team, with multiple new technologies being deployed and integrated across the existing practices and multiple new acquisitions in the pipeline!
About the Role
To support the growth of Kerv’s system integration demands, The Transformation Team is recruiting a new Business Analyst to join the team to assist with translating business needs into a functioning set of systems that improve integration with our customers, internally and with suppliers to enhance overall business performance.
Our Business Analysts deep dive into the current business capabilities, needs and technology gaps, and identify appropriate solutions. They support implementation and enhancement projects and are expected to manage multiple stakeholders throughout the process.
Once new solutions are installed, the Business Analyst will work through post-project tasks, such as staff training and monitoring the new systems.
