The Business Analyst (BA) will help strengthen the front end of our digital product and engineering delivery lifecycle. This role sits at the intersection of business needs, product delivery, and technical execution. This individual will partner closely with business stakeholders, product owners, engineering teams, and delivery leads to ensure initiatives are clearly defined, properly scoped, technically understood, and execution-ready before entering development.

The ideal candidate combines strong business analysis fundamentals with program delivery and technical coordination experience. They should be comfortable driving requirements discovery, facilitating cross-functional alignment, navigating ambiguity, and managing complex dependencies across systems and teams. This is not a purely documentation-focused BA role. We are looking for someone who can drive clarity, operational rigor, and execution readiness across both business and technology organizations.

• Partner with business stakeholders, product owners, and engineering teams to define business problems, objectives, scope, dependencies, and success criteria
• Lead discovery and requirements gathering sessions to translate business needs into structured, actionable documentation
• Create and maintain high-quality BRDs, functional requirements, process flows, user journeys, business rules, and acceptance criteria
• Work closely with engineering and architecture teams to clarify technical requirements, system dependencies, APIs, integrations, and execution considerations
• Help drive end‑to‑end delivery planning for complex initiatives spanning multiple teams and systems
• Navigate ambiguity to establish clear execution plans, priorities, milestones, and delivery readiness
• Identify risks, gaps, tradeoffs, and bottlenecks early and drive mitigation strategies across stakeholders
• Partner with technical delivery teams during solutioning, architecture discussions, sizing, and implementation planning
• Ensure projects entering the development lifecycle are well‑defined, properly scoped, and aligned across business and technical teams
• Facilitate alignment between business stakeholders and engineering teams throughout the delivery lifecycle
• Support breakdown of initiatives into epics, stories, and development‑ready work items
• Establish operational rigor through status reporting, dependency tracking, program reviews, retrospectives, and delivery metrics
• Drive standardization of business requirements and intake processes across the organization
• Support product management and delivery teams in prioritization, intake governance, roadmap readiness, and execution planning activities
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts related to agile delivery practices, requirements management standards, and cross‑functional operating models

• Ability to identify delivery risks, manage dependencies, and drive alignment in fast‑moving environment
• Ability to work effectively with both business and technical stakeholders across all levels of the organization
• Technical fluency and ability to understand system architecture, APIs, integrations, data flows, and platform dependencies
• Strong expertise in business requirements gathering, BRD creation, process mapping, and functional documentation
• Strong organizational and execution management skills with a high degree of ownership and accountability
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to simplify complex concepts for diverse audiences
• Understanding of product delivery lifecycle practices, agile methodologies, and cross‑functional product team operating models
