We provide the expertise to understand business challenges and translate them into practical, scalable, and responsible solutions.

• Identify opportunities to apply AI and automation (e.g., Agent force, Einstein, Copilot-style tools, chatbots, and generative AI) to improve case resolution, self-service, and customer/employee experience
• Gather business requirements, high-level user stories, and acceptance criteria for Service Cloud and Experience Cloud enhancements, including AI-enabled features
• Maintain stakeholder expectations and raise appropriate issues to project managers as necessary
• Develop "trusted advisor" relationships with senior stakeholders through effective communication, including guiding them on the art of the possible with AI-enabled service solutions
• Work with technology teams to produce detailed user stories and acceptance criteria to support development and QA teams building on Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and related AI platforms
• Perform analysis on existing systems and support processes; identify options for potential solutions (including AI/automation options) and assess both technical and business suitability
• Support responsible AI adoption by helping evaluate data quality, process readiness, and change impact before AI features are introduced into service or self-service workflows.

Requirements:-

• Proven experience in process modelling (BPMN standard), eliciting business requirements, and translating them into clear user stories and acceptance criteria
• Solid understanding of software development methodologies, platforms, and tools
• Hands-on experience with Salesforce Service Cloud (case management, omni-channel, knowledge) and Experience Cloud (portals/communities); familiarity with Salesforce AI capabilities (Einstein, Agent force, or similar) is highly desirable
• Demonstrated ability to plan and facilitate small to medium-sized workshops
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, enabling effective engagement across all organizational levels, including the production of high‑quality process documentation
• Hands‑on experience working in agile environments using recognized delivery frameworks such as Agile, Scrum, and Kanban
• Experience performing the Business Analyst role across the full software development lifecycle
• Experience with Lead‑to‑Cash or Customer Service processes and Salesforce; exposure to AI/automation initiatives within a CRM context is a plus
• Exposure to data analytics and data‑driven decision‑making, and familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Teams
• Curiosity and appetite for evaluating and piloting emerging AI tools and translating their potential into practical business value.
