We are looking for a Temporary Business Analyst to lead business analysis activities across enterprise digital experience initiatives within the Adobe Experience Cloud ecosystem. In this role, you will serve as a key connection between client business stakeholders and cross-functional delivery teams, translating business objectives and operational needs into clear, actionable requirements for Adobe-based solutions. You will work across platforms such as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites, AEM Assets, Edge Delivery Services, Adobe Workfront, and other Adobe Experience Cloud capabilities.

This is a client-facing role requiring someone who can independently lead discovery and requirements activities, facilitate complex stakeholder discussions, identify gaps and dependencies, and help shape solutions rather than simply document requests. You will partner closely with client stakeholders, product owners, solution architects, UX teams, developers, QA teams, and delivery leadership throughout the full delivery lifecycle, from discovery and solution definition through implementation, testing, and release.

The ideal candidate brings strong Business Analysis fundamentals, significant Agile delivery experience, and hands-on experience working within Adobe Experience Cloud implementations.

• Lead requirements discovery and analysis for Adobe Experience Cloud implementations and enhancement initiatives.
• Plan and facilitate stakeholder interviews, discovery workshops, requirements sessions, and solution-definition discussions.
• Translate business objectives into capabilities, epics, features, user stories, functional requirements, process flows, business rules, and acceptance criteria.
• Independently own requirements for significant project work streams from discovery through implementation.
• Partner with Adobe solution architects and technical teams to evaluate business requirements against platform capabilities and technical constraints.
• Help stakeholders distinguish between business needs, solution requirements, and implementation preferences.
• Identify gaps, dependencies, assumptions, risks, and conflicting requirements and drive them toward resolution.
• Recommend practical solutions when business requests conflict with Adobe platform capabilities, established implementation patterns, or project constraints.
• Develop clear, testable user stories and acceptance criteria that enable development and QA teams to execute effectively.
• Own backlog quality and requirements readiness for assigned initiatives.
• Lead and participate in backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and other Agile delivery ceremonies.
• Work closely with Product Owners to support backlog prioritization…
