• Professional certification in Business Analysis, Agile or Scrum, Azure, Power BI, Data Management or AI and Gen AI is an added advantage.


• 5 to 10 years of relevant experience in business analysis, data and analytics product delivery, digital transformation, consulting or technology-enabled business roles.


• Proven track record delivering business and technical requirements for data platforms, Business Intelligence (BI) and reporting solutions, analytics products or AI-enabled initiatives.

• Experience collaborating with product owners, data engineers, architects, business stakeholders and external vendors across the full delivery lifecycle.


• Background in healthcare, commercial excellence, supply chain, finance or regional business transformation environments is an added advantage.


• Strong requirements elicitation, stakeholder management, workshop facilitation, business process analysis and documentation skills.


• Solid understanding of data management concepts including data quality, master and reference data, metadata, data lineage, data ownership and governance controls.


• Working knowledge of Azure data services and modern cloud data platform concepts, with the ability to collaborate effectively with architects and data engineers on solution requirements.


• Experienced in Power BI requirements definition, KPI design, semantic models, dashboard development, data storytelling and self‑service BI adoption.


• Exposure to Gen AI or AI-enabled product delivery, including use‑case framing, output validation and responsible AI controls.


• Strong analytical thinking, structured problem‑solving and ability to move from ambiguity to clear execution plans.
