Luma is a next-generation scientific platform that unifies science data and data science within a highly functional, multi-tenant SaaS platform, bringing together best-in-class capabilities in data modelling, ingestion, translation, discovery, insight, and action.

Working within an Agile delivery framework, you’ll act as the bridge between Product and Engineering, partnering closely with Product Managers, Developers, QA, UX, and subject matter experts to translate business requirements into clear, actionable user stories that enable engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys understanding complex problems, thinking critically about requirements, and working collaboratively to deliver value through well-defined product increments.

In this role you will:

• Collaborate with Product Managers, Business Analysts, Developers, QA, UX Designers, Scientists, and other stakeholders to understand business objectives and product requirements.
• Gather, analyse, challenge, and document business and user requirements, ensuring they are clear, complete, and ready for development.
• Translate Epics into detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and supporting analysis documentation within Jira and Confluence.
• Refine and maintain the product backlog, working closely with Product Managers to prioritise work and prepare stories for delivery.
• Analyse business processes and user workflows to identify opportunities for product improvements.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering and QA throughout delivery, ensuring requirements are understood and questions are resolved promptly.
• Work across multiple Agile teams to ensure consistency of requirements and successful delivery.
• Help identify and mitigate delivery risks, managing stakeholder expectations throughout the development lifecycle.
• Perform and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring delivered functionality meets business needs.
• Use product analytics and customer feedback to help identify future product improvements.
• Contribute to wireframes, user flows, and lightweight prototypes where appropriate to communicate product requirements more effectively.

• Experience working within Agile Scrum teams throughout the software development lifecycle.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the confidence to challenge assumptions and think independently.
• Experience using Jira and Confluence (or similar Agile tooling).

Required skills:

• Strong Business Analysis experience within B2B Enterprise SaaS products.
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum delivery teams.
• Requirements elicitation, process analysis, and user journey mapping.
• Writing high-quality user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional documentation.
• Backlog refinement, prioritisation, and working closely with Product Managers.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across Product, Engineering, QA, UX, and business teams.
• Experience analysing business processes and translating complex requirements into deliverable work.
• Quality Analysis and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Confidence working independently, asking the right questions, and driving ambiguous requirements through to clear outcomes.

Nice to have:

• Exposure to scientific software, scientific data platforms, analytics applications, or large-scale data products.

• Experience building wireframes or lightweight prototypes using Figma or similar tools.
• Experience working alongside Product Managers on product discovery and roadmap planning.
• Exposure to AI-powered products or an interest in applying AI tools within day-to-day work.
