Overview

Jackson Dawson is an experiential marketing agency that creates immersive brand experiences for some of the world's best-known companies. Our Information Technology team builds and supports the web solutions behind those experiences. We're looking for a Senior Technical Business Analyst to make sure every client idea becomes a well-built solution, starting with getting the requirements right.

In this role, you'll represent IT on client projects, and about 90% of those are web-based. Our Account Representatives own the client relationship and bring you in when a project needs IT. From that point, the requirements are yours. You'll listen to clients, turn their goals into clear specifications, document the business rules and logic, and work with our Development team to deliver on time and to spec.

You understand what clients want and what developers need to build it, and you can move easily between the two. Your job is to make sure nothing gets lost along the way.
