DairyNZ’s story

Deliver a positive future for New Zealand dairy farming

Te whakaputa i te anamata kounga mō ngā pāmu kau o Aotearoa

We are full of people who have a passion for delivering great outcomes and creating positive change. We leverage our collective strength by bringing the dairy sector together, helping farmers build more sustainable, profitable, and resilient farm businesses; because a strong dairy sector means a strong New Zealand.

Your opportunity

This is a key role within DairyNZ’s Digital Technologies function, offering the opportunity to work at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and delivery. As a Business Systems Analyst, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how digital solutions support and enable DairyNZ’s business operations, helping the organisation achieve its strategic objectives.

You’ll work closely with business stakeholders, solution and enterprise architects, and delivery teams to understand challenges, explore opportunities, and design practical, fit-for-purpose solutions. Acting as a trusted advisor, you’ll help translate complex business requirements into clear system and technical requirements that align with DairyNZ’s enterprise architecture and future digital direction.

This role offers variety and influence — from contributing to early-stage problem definition and business cases, through to supporting delivery, testing, and successful transition into business-as-usual. You’ll also support continuous improvement across DairyNZ’s digital landscape, including identifying opportunities for optimisation, integration, automation, and AI-enabled transformation.

If you enjoy building strong relationships, working across diverse stakeholders, and making meaningful impact through well-designed digital solutions, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a purpose-driven organisation supporting New Zealand’s dairy sector.

What you’ll be doing

Reporting to the Digital Delivery Lead, you will support the Digital Technologies team, and will:

• Build strong relationships across DairyNZ to understand business needs, processes, and opportunities for optimisation

• Analyse current and future state processes, perform gap analysis, and recommend pragmatic digital solutions

• Translate business requirements into functional and non-functional requirements aligned with enterprise architecture

• Partner with architects, project managers, and delivery teams to support solution design and delivery

• Support testing activities, including preparing test scripts and coordinating user acceptance testing

• Act as a change agent, supporting system adoption and transition into BAU

• Apply AI and automation tools to improve efficiency and support AI-enabled transformation

• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leaders

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone who combines strong analytical capability with a collaborative, relationship-driven approach.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• A tertiary qualification in Information and Communications Technology (or similar)

• At least 5 years’ experience in a Business Analyst or Systems Analyst role

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including technical documentation

• Experience working across technical and non-technical stakeholders

• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team environment

Nice to have:
