This is a remote contract opportunity for an experienced Technical Business Analyst with a strong interest in data, analytics, and emerging technology. You will serve as a key link between business stakeholders, technical teams, architects, and project leadership across multiple concurrent workstreams.

The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and consulting-oriented, with significant exposure to complex client challenges. This position is well suited to someone who combines strong analytical thinking with excellent communication and organizational discipline.

Accountabilities

• Lead structured discovery workshops with engineering, product, business, and technical stakeholders to identify, document, and validate business and technical requirements.
• Build and maintain detailed requirements matrices covering data types, system interfaces, processing frequencies, dependencies, and downstream consumers.
• Own scope tracking and MVP boundary management, documenting agreed scope and ensuring changes are captured through appropriate change-control processes.
• Maintain business glossaries, metadata standards, data governance documentation, and other artifacts in collaboration with architects and data leads.
• Coordinate across concurrent workstreams to ensure data contracts, canonical definitions, and architectural decisions remain consistent.
• Facilitate technical feasibility discussions, track open questions and dependencies, and proactively escalates risks and unresolved issues.
• Translate complex architecture and technology concepts into clear requirements, functional specifications, interaction models, and other stakeholder-ready documentation.
• Support program leadership with decision logs, action trackers, risk registers, stakeholder communications, and delivery coordination.
• Produce high-quality client-facing deliverables, including requirements documents, workshop summaries, dependency logs, and scope-management records.
• Assist with light project management activities such as milestone tracking, status reporting, action-item management, and cross-team dependency coordination.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline; an advanced degree is preferred.
• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Technical Business Analyst, or Requirements Analyst working on data, analytics, technology, or platform engagements, ideally within consulting or professional services.
• Demonstrated experience facilitating structured discovery workshops with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and converting discussions into clear, actionable requirements.
• Strong understanding of data platform and cloud architecture concepts, including data governance, metadata management, data quality, and lakehouse patterns.
• Experience with AWS data environments is preferred, particularly familiarity with services such as S3, Glue, Redshift, DataZone, and Lake Formation; hands‑on implementation is not required.
• Experience with light project management activities, including milestone tracking, status reporting, action-item management, risk tracking, and dependency coordination.
• Excellent written communication skills and the ability to create structured, client-ready requirements documents, functional specifications, scope logs, and workshop summaries.
• Strong organizational and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to maintain context and continuity across multiple concurrent technical workstreams.
• Ability to act as an effective information bridge between technical teams working on related but distinct problems.
• Comfortable working in early-stage architecture, planning, and discovery engagements where the focus is on requirements and planning artifacts rather than production implementation.
• Familiarity with emerging technologies such as edge computing, IoT, or AI/ML is a plus.
• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, problem‑solving ability, and the confidence to identify risks, clarify ambiguity, and keep complex engagements moving forward.
