• You identify and analyse business requirements and document them as user stories for delivery using agile methods
• You evaluate the use of AI tools and methods (e.g. generative AI, process automation) in client projects and help clients assess their potential and risks
• You identify project risks early, define mitigation measures and communicate them clearly, internally and externally
• You run system tests to ensure the quality of the solution
• Alongside your main role as business analyst, you lead a maintenance project and coordinate the work internally and with the client

What we offer

• A dynamic work environment with a young, highly motivated team
• Many opportunities to broaden your knowledge and experience through a wide range of exciting projects, clients and technologies
• Attractive prospects for professional and personal growth, with several internal career paths
• A flat hierarchy and a culture of collaboration across all disciplines
• The chance to make a difference in people's lives by building great software
• Work-life balance (41 hours per week with flexible hours, at least 25 days of vacation) and an ergonomic, flexible workplace in a multicultural environment
• Attractive benefits, such as a contribution to your mobile phone or a business phone, a half-fare travelcard and first-class train travel on business trips, attractive pension fund plans, non-occupational accident insurance (private, worldwide), advanced daily sickness allowance insurance and fleet discounts

What you bring

• A degree (ETH, university or university of applied sciences) in IT or business administration, or equivalent professional experience
• At least 5 years of experience as a business analyst or requirements engineer in IT projects, ideally with Java/SE-based systems
• Strong communication and leadership skills, with experience supporting internal and external stakeholders in a respectful, solution-oriented way
• The ability to communicate clearly and convincingly in French and English, written and spoken, including in tenders and marketing contexts
• Experience with AI-assisted business analysis (e.g. using LLMs for requirements elicitation, AI-based process optimisation, Copilot tools in day-to-day project work) and an interest in agentic engineering
• Analytical sharpness, ownership and the drive not just to support projects but to move them forward
