ServiceNow Business Analyst: HRSD

Make an impact with NTT DATA

Join a company that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We are renowned for our technical excellence and leading innovations, and for making a difference to our clients and society. Our workplace embraces diversity and inclusion – it’s a place where you can grow, belong and thrive.

The ServiceNow Business Analyst (HRSD specialism) is a key member of the NTT DATA ServiceNow Practice, embedded within a product domain and working closely with the Product Owner, Delivery Manager, and development team. The role is responsible for gathering, translating, and managing business requirements through the full delivery lifecycle — from stakeholder workshops through to development story creation, testing coordination, and release sign-off.

The BA acts as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical delivery, ensuring that what is built accurately reflects the outcomes the business needs and aligns to the product roadmap. Although domain-aligned, the BA is part of a shared pool and may support other capability areas when capacity requires.

• Lead and facilitate workshops with business stakeholders to elicit, capture, and validate requirements, ensuring outcomes and objectives are clearly understood before entering the development pipeline.
• Translate business requirements into clearly written, development-ready user stories, acceptance criteria, and process maps in line with the agreed product roadmap.
• Own and maintain the requirements backlog for the product domain, keeping stories refined, prioritised, and ready for sprint intake in collaboration with the Product Owner.
• Support the Sprint Intake Review by ensuring stories are sufficiently detailed and acceptance criteria are agreed before development begins.
• Coordinate and actively participate in functional testing and UAT, validating that developed functionality meets the defined acceptance criteria and business outcome.
• Act as a liaison between the business and QA function to ensure test cases are aligned to requirements and that business stakeholders are engaged in sign-off activities.
• Identify and document scope changes, risks, and dependencies, escalating to the Delivery Manager and Product Owner where appropriate.
• Contribute to Release Readout sessions, supporting communication of what has been delivered and gathering feedback for continuous improvement.
• Maintain clear and accurate requirements documentation throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring traceability from requirement through to delivery.
• Support the HRSD Product Owner in translating People & Culture service requirements into ServiceNow HRSD configuration, including Case Management, Lifecycle Events, Journey Accelerators, and Employee Centre.
• Engage with HR, P&C, and employee experience stakeholders to understand service delivery pain points and desired outcomes, facilitating workshops to gather and validate requirements.
• Ensure HRSD requirements are documented with appropriate sensitivity to employee data, privacy, and HR policy boundaries — maintaining a clear distinction between platform capability and HR process ownership.
