    At Compass, our people are united by a common purpose to make the school day more productive, more impactful and more enjoyable. We're a global provider of School Management Information Systems (MIS) and already support over 2,000 schools across Australia, Ireland and the UK.

    We've just embarked on an exciting journey of growth and are looking for passionate people to join us for the ride.

    We want thinkers and problem solvers, who celebrate diversity and thrive in a collaborative team environment to join us and help us transform the lives of teachers, students, and parents all over the world. You'll work as part of a fun, hardworking team who takes ownership of their work and loves to celebrate successfully delivering wins for our customers and for Compass.

    About the Role & Team

    As a Business Analyst, specialising in the Education Software space, you will play a critical role in bridging the gap between the technical aspects of software development and the specific needs and goals of educational institutions.

    Your primary responsibility will be to analyse business processes, identify areas for improvement, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement software solutions that enhance teaching, learning, and administrative efficiency within the education sector.

    You will collaborate with product owners, partners, and stakeholders to help define technical business requirements which will ensure a smooth and a successful introduction and rollout of the Compass platform in the UK, while also assisting our engineers in building our platform to suit a range of school and jurisdictional requirements.

    What you'll do:

    • Requirements Gathering: Work closely with stakeholders, including educators, administrators, and internal Compass team members, to elicit, analyse, and document business requirements to ensure that customer problems are front and centre.
    • Business Process Analysis: Conduct thorough analysis of existing business processes within educational institutions to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement.
    • Solution Design: Collaborate with the Product Owner, software developers, UI/UX designers, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into comprehensive solution designs, including user stories, wireframes, and functional & non functional specifications.
    • Stakeholder Communication: Serve as a liaison between business stakeholders and technical teams where required, facilitating communication, managing expectations, and ensuring alignment throughout the software development lifecycle.
    • Testing and Validation: Develop test cases, conduct user acceptance testing (UAT), and validate software solutions to ensure they meet the needs and expectations of end-users.
    • Training and Support: Provide training and support to end-users and Compass team members, to ensure successful adoption of Compass solutions as well as supporting our onboarding teams to ensure the best possible customer experience.
    • Industry Research: Stay abreast of emerging trends, best practices, and regulatory requirements within the education technology (EdTech) space, and leverage this knowledge to inform product development and strategic decision-making.
