Are you a Business Analyst who thrives at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and product innovation? Do you enjoy transforming complex business challenges into smart, scalable software solutions?

We\'re partnering with an established, technology-driven financial services organization seeking a Business Analyst – FinTech to play a pivotal role in delivering innovative software solutions.

This is more than a traditional requirements-gathering position. You\'ll operate in a hybrid Business Analyst/Product Owner capacity, working closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and QA teams to shape product functionality, influence priorities, and drive successful software releases.

If you\'re passionate about Agile delivery, enjoy taking ownership, and want to see your work translate into meaningful business results, this opportunity deserves your attention.

What You\'ll Do

Drive Product Development & Agile Delivery

• Partner with business stakeholders and technical teams to translate complex needs into actionable product requirements.
• Write detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications that enable efficient development.
• Own and refine product backlogs, helping prioritize features based on business value, technical feasibility, and customer impact.
• Collaborate with Product Owners, developers, designers, and QA teams throughout the Agile development lifecycle.

Turn Complex Problems into Smart Solutions

• Analyze business processes, identify inefficiencies, and recommend technology-driven improvements.
• Develop process flows, workflow diagrams, and system documentation to support solution design.
• Work with APIs, integrations, and interconnected software platforms to understand system behavior and dependencies.
• Investigate production issues, identify root causes, and help drive sustainable solutions.

Deliver Quality & Measurable Results

• Coordinate user acceptance testing (UAT), validate functionality, and ensure solutions meet business objectives.
• Support sprint planning, backlog refinement, release readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Monitor product performance and identify opportunities to improve functionality and the customer experience.
• Serve as a trusted bridge between technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

What We\'re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or in a combined BA/PO role supporting Agile software development.
• Industry experience in FinTech, financial services, retirement plan administration, or recordkeeping.
• Proven ability to write high-quality user stories, define acceptance criteria, and manage product backlogs across multiple releases.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, including Scrum and/or Kanban.
• Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or comparable tools.
• Experience gathering requirements, mapping business processes, and facilitating discussions with cross-functional teams.
• Working knowledge of APIs, system integrations, and software development processes.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Bachelor\'s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.

Experience That Will Set You Apart

• Familiarity with retirement services or recordkeeping platforms such as FIS Relius/Omni, Ascensus, or SS&C.
• Experience supporting products in regulated financial environments, including ERISA, IRS, or SOC 2 requirements.
• Certifications such as CBAP, CCBA, CSPO, PSPO, or PMI-PBA.
• Experience with BPMN, UML, Lucidchart, Visio, or Miro.
• Basic SQL knowledge or experience using data analysis to support requirements and testing.

Why This Opportunity?

• Workplace Flexibility: Remote, hybrid, or on-site options.
• Meaningful Ownership: Influence product decisions and help shape solutions from concept through release.
• Cross-Functional Visibility: Collaborate directly with Product, Engineering, QA, and business leadership.
