This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.
• Take charge of the intake and discovery process for internal data projects, ensuring that requirements are thoroughly understood and documented prior to the involvement of development resources.
• Facilitate requirements-gathering sessions with business stakeholders, utilizing techniques that help uncover needs that stakeholders may not yet be able to articulate fully — especially in analytics and BI contexts where desired outcomes often evolve through iteration.
• Convert business requirements into clear, development-ready documentation, including user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, data definitions, and reporting logic that development teams can utilize autonomously.
• Collaborate with the Technical Project Manager to contribute to a groomed and prioritized backlog of requirements, ensuring development always has well-defined tasks ready for execution.
• Act as the ongoing point of contact for stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, managing expectations and clearly communicating status, trade-offs, and decisions.
• Work with stakeholders to establish requirements for analytics, business intelligence, and reporting solutions — including KPIs, desired outcomes, and data needs — in a format that the development team can act upon.
• Assist in the validation of early builds, prototypes, and draft deliverables with stakeholders to ensure that development has correctly interpreted requirements and to identify gaps before they escalate.
• Proactively identify gaps, conflicts, or risks in requirements early on and resolve them before they impact the development team.
• Engage in agile ceremonies as necessary, ensuring that user stories remain aligned with stakeholder intent throughout the development process.
• 2–4 years of experience in a Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, or similar requirements-focused position.
• Proven ability to gather and document complex business requirements from multiple stakeholders or departments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; capable of translating technical concepts for non-technical audiences and business needs for technical teams.
• Experience in writing user stories and acceptance criteria in an agile or agile-adjacent setting.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and bring clarity to ambiguous situations.
• Familiarity with Jira and Confluence for tracking requirements and documentation; experience working in a Microsoft Teams-based collaborative environment.
• Strong attention to detail with a history of producing thorough and accurate documentation.
