• Break complex human workflows into logical, measurable sequences that AI agents can reliably execute.
• Design human-in-the-loop, decision threshold, trigger point and safe override paths.
• Design ethical, transparent guardrails and validation frameworks for autonomous decision making.
• Evaluate potential harms, social impacts and vulnerable groups.
• Define fairness requirements, measurable criteria for bias mitigation and demographic parity.
• Monitor evolving output biases over time.

Experience & Skills Required

• Experience supporting complex projects and programmes, or working within a Business Analysis team on highly complex initiatives.
• Ability to manage uncertain or difficult environments and provide challenge where required.
• Strong facilitation skills, including the ability to challenge SMEs on As-Is and To-Be processes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate business requirements into functional outcomes.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to quickly build knowledge of the business and subject matter.
• Innovative mindset, with a focus on improving processes and solving business problems.
• Ability to translate policies and standards into practical processes, procedures and technical tools.

Desirable Experience

• Technical expertise in implementing Agentic AI.
• Experience in business architecture, business design or service design/transition.
• Experience defining business requirements for AI-enabled solutions, including use cases, user stories, acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes.
• Understanding of AI governance and responsible AI principles.
• Ability to translate policy, risk and control requirements into practical delivery requirements.
• Experience defining human-in-the-loop controls, decision thresholds, escalation routes, override mechanisms and validation points.
• Experience working with product managers, technologists, data specialists and delivery teams to shape AI-enabled capabilities.
• Experience contributing to fairness, bias mitigation, transparency or assurance requirements for AI-enabled solutions.
