Ippon is a team of true technologists who leverage contemporary thinking and tools to enhance the way our clients drive value. Whether it’s a bespoke platform to improve employee engagement within a national retail chain, or developing an app that provides next level direct customer interaction; value is delivered to our clients when we begin by understanding the business outcomes they desire and then apply our technical expertise to make these a reality.

Business Analysts at Ippon consult with clients on how technology can solve their business challenges and then scope, build and deliver solutions that meet the identified needs.
You will work with the team to define a technology solution to meet that need, utilising their strong knowledge of the client’s business requirements, and support the delivery of that solution into production in the client’s business environment. You’ll work all the way from discovery to delivery and beyond to solve problems that are at the heart of some of the most burning issues for our clients.
You’ll find the work challenging, the people stimulating and the environment-friendly, welcoming and accepting.
