Holley Performance Brands is seeking an IT Business Analyst to serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and IT project teams across the full portfolio of IT initiatives. This role is responsible for ensuring that business needs are clearly understood, documented, translated into actionable functional requirements, and validated throughout the project lifecycle.

The Business Analyst will work with business leaders, process owners, subject matter experts, end users, project managers, architects, developers, vendors, and testing teams. The successful candidate will bring structure to ambiguous requests, challenge assumptions constructively, and help ensure that technology solutions solve the right business problems and deliver measurable value.

This is a hands-on business analysis role supporting all IT projects.

The Business Analyst bridges the gap between the business and IT. The role begins with understanding the business objective and documenting the Business Requirements Document (BRD), then translating those approved requirements into detailed functional requirements and supporting the development of the Functional Requirements Document (FRD). The Business Analyst maintains traceability from the original business need through solution design, build, testing, deployment, and post-implementation review.

The role also supports improvements to the quality and consistency of IT project delivery by establishing practical business analysis standards, reviewing project deliverables, identifying gaps early, and ensuring that requirements, designs, test cases, and delivered solutions remain aligned.

• Translate approved business requirements into detailed functional requirements and collaborate with solution architects, developers, vendors, and technical analysts to produce or validate Functional Requirements Documents (FRDs).
• Develop supporting artifacts such as user stories, use cases, process maps, data definitions, interface requirements, report specifications, acceptance criteria, decision logs, and requirements matrices.
• Maintain end-to-end requirements traceability from the BRD through the FRD, solution design, development, testing, deployment, and final business acceptance.
• Manage requirement changes through the agreed change-control process and clearly communicate impacts to scope, schedule, cost, risk, testing, and business readiness.
