Our client is looking for a Business Analyst CMS
Mission Description
An energizing consulting opportunity with a major Belgian player in the energy landscape. The Belgian and European energy landscape is undergoing a major transformation. Did you know that our client plays a crucial role in this process in Belgium? As part of a European transmission system operator group, our client ensures the reliability and sustainability of electricity supply in the country. In this mission, you will work alongside other contingent workers and our client’s internal staff to build a sustainable, green, and reliable energy infrastructure that drives economic growth and reduces our ecological footprint. Together, we aim for maximum impact. We believe in the power of diversity and are convinced that an inclusive and diverse work environment leads to more innovation, creativity, and better results.
Role Description
As a Business Analyst, you will serve as the key link between business stakeholders and IT teams, ensuring that business needs are translated into effective technical solutions. You will analyse processes, gather requirements, and support the implementation of systems that enable operational efficiency and strategic objectives. This role requires a mindset of continuous improvement—remaining curious, respectfully critical, and never settling for “we’ve always done it this way.” You will challenge assumptions constructively and collaborate closely with stakeholders to design smarter, future-ready processes.
Core Responsibilities
Business Process Modelling
You have a strong passion for business process modelling and are convinced of the importance of modelling business processes, where expertise and clarity matter more than buzzwords. Your confidence in your approach is essential. You understand the difference between a business process and an application process. You can demonstrate the ability to analyse end-to-end business processes and model them in a structured and effective way, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives and BPMN methodology. You are able to step back and analyse existing business processes for improvement. You understand how business processes realize capabilities and are willing to explore, together with the business architect, ways to improve our client’s business architecture.
Information Modelling
In the energy market, accurate information modelling is essential to ensure that complex data structures reflect real business needs and support critical market processes. As a Business Analyst, you are responsible for structuring and representing business concepts clearly and consistently. This includes modelling information using UML class diagrams while remaining sharp and willing to challenge existing concepts. You are able to introduce new business concepts when necessary, propose precise definitions, review and refine existing ones, and work in a structured and concise manner to maintain clarity and alignment across systems. You understand the link between capabilities, information ownership, and information models.
Requirements Gathering & Analysis
You are responsible for eliciting, clarifying, and prioritizing business and solution requirements—both functional and non-functional—in close collaboration with stakeholders and development teams within an Agile framework. This includes facilitating workshops, refining user stories, and ensuring that requirements are well understood, actionable, and aligned with business objectives. The role requires adaptability, continuous stakeholder engagement, and the ability to challenge assumptions constructively to deliver value-driven solutions. You work closely with the Product Owner to define and refine the backlog.
Solution Design & Validation
You collaborate closely with the Solution Architect, clearly understanding where your responsibilities end and theirs begin, without stepping into their role. You work together toward shared goals while constructively challenging proposed solutions to ensure they meet business requirements and objectives in a sustainable, future-proof manner, without “sitting in their chair.” In addition, you represent and safeguard the business architecture during solution design, ensuring that implementations remain aligned with business principles and strategic objectives.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Together with the Agile team, you take responsibility for formulating and executing testing activities to ensure quality and alignment with business requirements. You contribute to writing clear and comprehensive test cases based on user stories and acceptance criteria, and you support or perform business acceptance testing to validate that delivered solutions meet functional and process expectations. Within an Agile context, you actively participate in sprint reviews and defect triage, bringing business insight to prioritize fixes and improvements. You promote a “test early, test often” mindset, encourage continuous validation throughout the development cycle, and ensure traceability between requirements and test coverage to maintain transparency and accountability.
Documentation
You take ownership of creating clear, structured, and accurate documentation that supports business processes, requirements, and solution design. Beyond producing documentation, you actively contribute to improving documentation practices within the team, ensuring consistency and usability. You are convinced that high-quality documentation is essential for sustainable solutions and effective collaboration, and you provide guidance and advice to stakeholders on best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
Leadership
You take ownership and leadership in realizing business needs in alignment with the business architecture. This includes not only identifying problems but actively proposing improvements and driving them through to implementation. Your role goes beyond analysis: you ensure that solutions deliver real business value, challenge assumptions constructively, and collaborate closely with stakeholders to make change happen.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Master’s degree or equivalent experience.
5–8 years of experience in business analysis and requirements documentation.
Strong understanding of business analysis methods (BABOK, UML, BPMN) and their value in software development.
Experience working in an Agile product environment is a plus.
Knowledge of Archimate is a plus.
Excellent communication skills in English and either French or Dutch, with a good knowledge of the other language.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down complex situations into manageable components, enabling clear understanding and effective problem-solving.
