The BA ensures scope clarity, requirements quality, stakeholder alignment, and UAT readiness while supporting Business Solutions Department governance and stage-gate compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate requirements into user stories / backlog items on Jira with traceability from business goals to deliverables.

• Support solution definition, integration requirements, data migration needs, and test/UAT strategy.
• Collaborate with Product/Ops/Design to validate feasibility assumptions and operational readiness inputs before build/config progresses.

• Contribute to reusable templates, requirement standards, and lessons learned to improve delivery velocity and quality.

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of experience as a Business Analyst in software implementation and/or digital transformation environments (mandatory).
• Proven experience producing requirements documentation (BRD/FRD), user stories, process maps, and acceptance criteria.

• Exposure to integrations, APIs, data migration, and operational readiness concepts.
