Job description

Ignite Your Career at Avanci as an AI Business Analyst at Avanci!

Are you passionate about applying artificial intelligence to real business challenges and looking for a new opportunity in an innovative, trailblazing company?

We are seeking an AI Business Analyst to help turn ideas into practical, measurable AI solutions. This hands-on role will gather requirements, evaluate tools, analyze processes and data, and support the development and rollout of AI tools and agents across the business. This role will also help manage requirements intake, documentation, testing, and outcome metrics so stakeholders have a clear view of what is working and where improvements are needed.

Working alongside business users, technical teams, and company leaders, the AI Business Analyst will translate ambiguous needs into clear, actionable work. This is an individual-contributor role focused on analysis, delivery, governance, measurement, and follow-through rather than ownership of the company's overall AI strategy.

At Avanci (https://www.avanci.com/), we're redefining the future of global patent licensing through premier independent platforms. Partnering with leading high-tech companies, we're driving transformative and optimized patent licensing for advanced technologies and products. In the automotive space we've streamlined the licensing of over 235 million connected vehicles to date (https://www.avanci.com/vehicle/) and are continuously expanding into new verticals.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders to gather requirements and identify, assess, and prioritize opportunities for AI tools, agents, automation, and process improvement.
• Translate business needs into clear use cases, workflows, requirements, data needs, controls, implementation plans, and success measures.
• Evaluate AI tools. Configure and prototype AI and automation solutions where appropriate, and partner with developers or vendors when solutions require custom engineering or enterprise integration.
• Manage assigned intake, demand, or backlog activities and maintain clear documentation, priorities, status updates, and follow-up actions.
• Define and track metrics for accuracy, adoption, time saved, user satisfaction, operational efficiency, and other relevant business outcomes.
• Support responsible AI practices by addressing data privacy, security, access, human review, accuracy, cost, and operational risks in partnership with IT, Legal, Compliance, and business leaders.
• Create process maps, requirements, test plans, user guidance, and executive-ready summaries, and communicate results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Define and execute evaluation approaches for AI solutions, including representative test scenarios, expected outcomes, groundedness, accuracy, completeness, consistency, human-review requirements, failure handling, and acceptance criteria.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• At least four years of experience in business analysis, business systems, product analysis, automation, process improvement, or a similar role translating business needs into delivered solutions.
• Hands-on experience gathering requirements, mapping processes, analyzing data, managing intake or backlogs, and defining or tracking metrics and KPIs.
• Familiarity with generative AI tools and concepts, including large language models, prompt design, source grounding, AI agents, testing, and responsible AI practices.
• Technical fluency sufficient to collaborate with technical teams on enterprise applications, data sources, APIs, integrations, and automation workflows.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, project-management, and written communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
• Experience with Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Excel, SharePoint, Business Central, CRM systems, work-tracking tools, or BI platforms is preferred.
• Python coding experience.

This is an opportunity to join a pioneering company at the forefront of global technology licensing. You will work with an international team to build responsible, scalable AI solutions that improve how our business operates and help enable innovation across industries.
