Thanks for the tips.I will definitely will have a look at the job portal.
I've been researching about what is the job and core competencies of a Business Analyst and I found I've actually done it before. It's very attractive role as I really like investigating, structuring, build and defend business cases. Especially from a IT perspective.
And because it requires both a deep business comprehension and a ability to translate technology into tangible benefits, I think it has my name all over it.

Thank you, once again for the support. I did find some positions for Business Process Analyst and support and applied to them.
It's really what I see myself doing and combines Management with IT.

Is there a "typical" profile for a Business/Process analyst? I'm not sure how much I'm in the threshold of that profile.

Hi Rogério,

While Management and IT may sound like two different areas, they actually work very closely together. For example, any IT project will obviously require technical expertise to complete, but it's the organizational part driven by a Project Manager that ensures it's implemented smoothly and with minimum cost.

My path at Nokia actually resembles your story quite a lot. My first role in Nokia was that of a Solution Owner and I was a bit concerned I didn't have much technical experience to work in IT, as I moved from management/financial consulting company. As it turned out, there is a lot of roles that require business/managerial skills (like planning, budgeting, coordinating, relationship management, negotiation, etc.).

On the technical side Nokia does help to gain the required/missing knowledge or skills (technical knowledge, process understanding, mode of operation, culture, etc.). Moreover, it also provides a good network of support for new employees, so even if you feel you lack the experience/knowledge, there is always someone there who can guide and assist you.

Sandrine already shared above some of the areas you might want to explore and resources where to apply.
