Overview:

Constellation Financial Software (CFS), part of the Andromeda portfolio within Constellation Software, is currently seeking a Business Analyst to join its growing team. CFS is a leading provider of specialized software solutions for the financial services industry, supporting institutions with mission-critical systems that drive efficiency, compliance, and growth.

We are seeking an experienced Business Analyst to deliver high-impact professional services to our software product client base. This role is 80% billable client-facing work—conducting virtual discovery sessions, requirements analysis, and solution design—and 20% internal support, responding to and resolving tickets from our existing client base.

The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on business analysis expertise: they can independently lead requirements workshops, produce rigorous documentation artifacts, and translate complex business needs into clear, implementable specifications. This is a client-delivery role; candidates must be comfortable as the primary point of contact in virtual engagements and confident guiding stakeholders toward sound decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

Client-Facing Professional Services (80%)

• Lead structured virtual requirements-gathering sessions with client stakeholders at multiple levels, from end users to C-suite
• Elicit, document, and validate business requirements using proven BA techniques: interviews, workshops, observation, surveys, and document analysis
• Produce formal BA deliverables including Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), Functional Specifications, Use Cases, User Stories with acceptance criteria, process flow diagrams, and data mapping documents
• Conduct current-state (as-is) and future-state (to-be) process analysis; identify gaps and recommend solutions within the product framework
• Facilitate UAT planning and execution: develop test scenarios, track defects, and validate that delivered solutions meet documented requirements
• Manage scope throughout the engagement; proactively identify and elevate scope creep with documented impact assessments
• Serve as the primary client liaison during assigned project phases, maintaining clear and consistent communication with stakeholders and internal delivery teams
• Present findings, recommendations, and solution designs to client audiences with clarity and professionalism

Client Support (20%)

• Triage and respond to support tickets from existing clients; accurately diagnose whether issues are configuration, training, or product defects
• Document ticket resolutions and contribute to the internal knowledge base to reduce recurring support burden
• Identify patterns in support requests that signal product improvement opportunities or training gaps; communicate findings to the product and customer success teams

Required Qualifications:

Business Analysis Core Skills

• 4+ years of hands-on experience as a Business Analyst in a software product or SaaS environment
• Demonstrated proficiency in formal requirements elicitation techniques (interviews, JAD sessions, prototyping, surveys, observation)
• Expert-level ability to produce BRDs, Functional Specifications, Use Cases, User Stories, and acceptance criteria that are clear, complete, unambiguous, and independently verifiable
• Experience with gap analysis, root-cause analysis, and options analysis—able to document trade-offs and provide a recommendation with supporting rationale
• Solid understanding of the SDLC and experience working within both Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and waterfall delivery models
• Proven ability to lead UAT: write test scenarios, coordinate testing cycles, track defects, and obtain sign‑off
• Experience with data analysis and requirements-related to integrations, data migration, or reporting

Domain & Industry Knowledge:

• Background in lending, equipment leasing, or asset-based financing industries strongly preferred
• Familiarity with financial services workflows such as origination, underwriting, servicing, or collections is a meaningful advantage

Professional & Communication Skills:

• Ability to communicate with precision—written and verbal—with both technical teams and non-technical business stakeholders
• Experienced and confident facilitating virtual meetings and workshops; skilled at keeping distributed groups engaged and productive
• Self-directed: able to manage time, set priorities, and advance multiple client engagements with minimal day-to-day supervision
• Strong client presence; comfortable being the named expert in the room and managing challenging stakeholder dynamics
• Highly organized and detail-oriented; rigorous about documentation accuracy and version control

Qualifications:

• CBAP, PMI-PBA, or equivalent BA certification
• Experience as a BA in a billable professional services or consulting delivery model
• Familiarity with support ticketing platforms (e.g., TeamSupport, Jira Service Management, Salesforce Service Cloud)
• Project management experience or PMP certification
• Exposure to software configuration or business rules management within a product platform
• Experience with SQL or basic data querying for requirements validation

Work Environment:

• 100% remote; all client engagements conducted via video conferencing (Zoom, Teams, or equivalent)
• Must have a professional, distraction‑free remote workspace with reliable high-speed internet
• Occasional travel to client sites or company events may be required (estimated under 10%)
• Availability during core business hours required; occasional flexibility needed to accommodate clients in varying time zones
