We’re on a mission to create a brighter future, where you can be a change maker at the actual source. We’re one of Australia’s largest water utilities with over 30% of Victoria’s population relying on us for their essential water and sanitation services.

  • Translate business needs into clear, testable functional requirements and user stories aligned with best practices and enterprise architecture standards.
  • Participate in solution design, configuration reviews, proof‑of‑concepts, and design walkthroughs, ensuring end‑user needs are represented.
  • Develop and maintain core business analysis artefacts, including Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs), process maps, data / interface specifications, and test documentation.
  • Contribute to testing and readiness activities, including UAT planning, test execution, training support, and knowledge transfer to enable successful change adoption.
  • Monitor risks, dependencies, and change impacts, ensuring alignment with EPMO governance and reporting requirements.
  • Support change management efforts, including training, communication, and embedding of new processes and systems.
  • What we’re looking for

  • Mandatory : Demonstrated experience as a Business Analyst in Finance or ERP implementation projects.
  • Solid understanding of core finance and accounting functions, including GL, AP, AR, Billing, Treasury, and Reporting.
  • Hands‑on experience with Agile and SDLC methodologies, including relevant tools and techniques.
  • Highly proficient in Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Skilled in using process modelling tools
  • Working knowledge and application of the BABOK framework in business analysis activities.
  • Excellent facilitation, communication, and negotiation skills.
  • Strong track record in stakeholder management across diverse business and technical groups.
  • Experience in public sector, utilities, or regulated environments is desirable.
  • Why Yarra Valley Water?
