• Working together with technical team members to validate the functional design and create the translation to technical specifications
• End‑to‑end follow‑up on the delivery of new functionalities and/or applications
• Producing all documentation needed throughout the different stages of projects
• Working closely with business analysts and developers under the supervision of the project manager/coordinators to refine and validate the proposed solutions
• Working closely with project managers to report status, facilitate decisions, manage risks and escalate as needed

• Familiar with AGILE/SCRUM methodologies
• The application ecosystem is relatively extensive and relies on classic development technologies (J2EE, Java8, Oracle, Hibernate, Junit, Selenium, Maven, GIT, JIRA…)
• The Analyst function does not require technical tasks, but it is necessary to master the technical language to carry out functional analyses (APIs, mappings, business model, batches, services,…)
• Business Analysis – interface with the client and helps them define their needs
