Our digital retailing strategy is core to the success of Auto Trader’s future as we gain momentum with our ambition to be the leading platform for retailers to sell more cars online.
We are looking for a Graduate Business Analyst to join our product development team. These teams are typically made up of product owners, business analysts, designers, data analysts, software developers and test engineers who all work closely together across a wide range of products, in a fast-paced, agile environment, which means collaboration is vital.
Your focus will be supporting the product development team at every stage of the development journey, from initial analysis of how customers use our software and the jobs they are doing, through scoping, defining and prioritising the build requirements, and working with the developers through to release and beyond.
This is a collaborative role in which you will demonstrate your communication skills, collating diverse information from the different teams. You will look deep into problems, pain points, all the granular details and make recommendations to solve any problems identified whilst working across a diverse number of exciting projects.
