Our client in the Information Technology and Services industry is looking for an Integration Analyst to provide technical analysis, discovery, planning, and delivery support across complex integration programmes. Working with architects, engineers, product owners, delivery managers, and business stakeholders, the role supports the design, migration, modernisation, and decommissioning of integration services. The role focuses on understanding applications, APIs, data flows, dependencies, and technical requirements to support effective planning and delivery. What you will do: Technical Discovery and Workshops Lead technical discovery activities across applications, APIs, integration platforms, and supporting services. Facilitate workshops with business, application, infrastructure, and engineering teams. Elicit and document current-state integration landscapes and technical processes. Identify dependencies, risks, constraints, and architectural considerations. Build an understanding of business-critical integration capabilities and operational requirements. Support architects in defining future-state integration approaches and migration strategies. Produce discovery outputs that provide clear visibility of integration estates and associated complexity. API and Integration Analysis Analyse existing APIs, services, interfaces, messaging solutions, file transfers, and system integrations. Document interface behaviours, protocols, data contracts, dependencies, and service interactions. Assess integration patterns and identify opportunities for rationalisation, modernisation, or simplification. Support API inventory creation, classification, and assessment activities. Evaluate integration readiness for migration, transformation, or cloud adoption initiatives. Collaborate with architects and engineers to validate technical assumptions and design decisions. Assist in defining integration requirements and acceptance criteria. Migration and Decommissioning Support Support assessment of applications and integrations for migration and transformation. Analyse technical dependencies and identify migration sequencing requirements. Assist in creating migration plans and transition approaches. Identify potential impacts, risks, and operational considerations associated with migration and transformation activities. Support cutover planning and readiness assessments. Help maintain accurate application, integration, and dependency inventories. Support evidence gathering required for decommissioning approvals and closure activities. Planning and Estimation Support architects and delivery leads in sizing and estimating technical work. Assist in identifying delivery scope, assumptions, risks, and dependencies. Break large technical initiatives into manageable work packages and backlog items. Provide analysis to support roadmap development and release planning. Contribute to capacity planning and delivery forecasting activities. Help ensure technical planning decisions are supported by evidence and analysis. Maintain traceability between discovery findings, requirements, and delivery activities. Backlog and Delivery Support Create and maintain high-quality user stories, technical stories, and backlog items. Ensure backlog items contain appropriate context, requirements, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. Support prioritisation activities with Product Owners, Architects, and Delivery Managers. Assist delivery teams by clarifying requirements and resolving queries. Track delivery dependencies and action owners. Support governance, reporting, and readiness activities. Help ensure delivery teams have sufficient information to progress work effectively. Technical Artefacts and Documentation Produce and maintain technical discovery reports, analysis outputs, and design support documentation. Develop application and integration inventories. Create process flows, interface catalogues, and dependency maps. Support production of architecture decision records, migration assessments, and technical recommendations. Maintain accurate technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle. Ensure documentation remains aligned with programme standards and governance requirements. Support knowledge transfer and onboarding activities through high-quality documentation. Stakeholder Engagement Work with business SMEs, technical teams, architects, programme leadership, and third-party suppliers. Communicate complex technical concepts in a clear and accessible manner. Facilitate workshops, reviews, and technical discussions. Build effective working relationships across multiple delivery teams. Provide structured analysis and recommendations to support decision-making. Act as a trusted point of contact for technical discovery and analysis activities. Success Measures Deliver high-quality technical discovery outputs on time. Accurately identify integration dependencies, risks, and constraints. Reduce delivery ambiguity through effective requirements and backlog management. Improve planning accuracy and estimation quality. Successfully support migration and decommissioning activities. Maintain positive working relationships with architects, engineers, and delivery leadership. Maintain well-structured technical artefacts and programme documentation. Deliver effective stakeholder engagement and workshop outcomes. Maintain traceability from discovery through to delivery and implementation.
