  • Sign off and showcase the delivered software enhancement and support the release to customers
  • Play an active role in defining and implementing quality standards and processes across the BA and Delivery teams

You will have frequent calls with your BA colleagues and around once a month, you’ll be expected to travel to the Haddenham office, which is Defaqto HQ.
