• 3–5 years of experience as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or in a comparable role delivering software products in an Agile Scrum environment
• Demonstrated experience translating complex business processes into clear, developer‑ready requirements — including user stories, acceptance criteria, and process diagrams
• Hands‑on experience owning and grooming a product backlog and facilitating Agile ceremonies
• Proven track record of rolling out highly impactful technology tools and features to large, distributed user audiences
• Strong ability to communicate effective with both non‑technical business stakeholders and highly technical development teams
• Experience writing and executing test plans; familiarity with UAT processes and defect management
• Familiarity with CRM platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Dynamics 365) and field operations or franchise management systems is a strong plus
• Experience with project and backlog management tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar
• Analytical and process‑oriented mindset; able to see the big picture while managing details with precision
• Self‑directed and comfortable working remotely across time zones with franchisees, operations leaders, and distributed development teams
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Outlook, Teams, Visio or equivalent process diagramming tools)
• Priority consideration will be given to candidates who are Certified Scrum Masters

Responsibilities

• Continuously maintain and manage development backlogs for Sales Enablement, Field Operations, Marketing, and Accounting — keeping each backlog accurate, prioritized, and ready for sprint planning
• Translate business needs and wants into clearly defined, developer-ready requirements — including user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and edge cases
• Groom and size backlog items regularly, facilitating the essential ceremonies of Agile Scrum methodology: sprint planning, daily standups, sprint review, and retrospectives
• Help the development team — consisting of internal and external software developers — decompose requirements into actionable tasks while keeping the end result tightly aligned with business intent
• Create comprehensive test plans to ensure seamless integration of new features and enhancements across systems; own UAT coordination with business stakeholders
• Assist with planning and executing software rollouts to large audiences of franchisees and internal users, including training materials, communication plans, and adoption tracking
• Become intimately familiar with the City Wide model, franchise operations, and business processes across Sales, Marketing, Field Operations, and Accounting
• Expand the collaborative and trusting relationships of the Technology team with all departments — ensuring business stakeholders feel heard and the technology team has the clarity it needs to build the right things
• Conduct interviews, workshops, and process analysis sessions with business owners to surface requirements, identify gaps, and build business cases for new projects
• Document workflows, system integrations, and product decisions to maintain institutional knowledge and support onboarding
• Monitor adoption and usage of deployed features; gather feedback and translate it into backlog improvements
• Performs other duties as assigned by management
