What You'll Do

This role is responsible for creating collaborative relationships and assisting with managing complex, cross-platform development requirements, participating in key projects across the organization. The role leverages strong collaborative decision-making, comprehensive problem solving, and substantial stakeholder management skills to deliver exceptional technical requirements definitions, as well as sound business value judgments and trade-off assessments. Work spans the full development lifecycle – from design and requirements discovery through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing end-user support. While project-based work will at times follow formal dev-cycles, it will also take place in the context of smaller, agile, less formal project structures. The work is iterative, intellectually intense, fast-paced, and highly visible. Success requires an individual who is both flexible and adaptable, with the ability to contribute effectively as a team member and as an individual contributor – and the capacity to be self-driven and self-organizing is equally critical to performing well in this position.

In collaboration with the Product Owner and other development team members, you will be an impactful, quality-focused contributor embedded in an Agile squad. This role is responsible for leading requirements discovery for complex technical projects, backlog refinement, feature documentation, user support, and quality assurance.

• Understanding multiple data sources and underlying data models, and translating source-to-target mappings into scalable, practical solutions
• Assessing gaps between prioritized requirements and current capabilities; generating solution options and, using an agreed set of design principles, selecting the preferred path forward
• Developing comprehensive implementation plans and delivering output as defined in each project’s goals and objectives
• Performing thorough testing and validation throughout the development lifecycle, diving deep into root cause analysis when issues arise
• Acting as a functional subject matter expert, partnering with technical teams to troubleshoot issues and redesign processes
• Curating and refining the product backlog; contributing to the development and tracking of the technical roadmap
• Developing training materials and delivering end-user training

YOU’RE GOOD AT

• Problem solving and analytical thinking
• Analyzing and breaking down complex problem statements, structuring hypotheses, building thoughtful analyses, and bringing clarity to previously undefined problems
• Natural curiosity to understand how things work and why – our data, our processes, and our products. Desire to comprehend root causes when issues arise
• Desire and flexibility to work through details with keen attention to accuracy and interdependencies; comfortable working with ambiguity in an iterative environment
• Identifying and staying current on new technologies and trends relevant to your domain
• Communication, interpersonal, and teaming skills
• Works positively and collaboratively with others; builds strong and lasting relationships across functions, offices, and regions
• Adapts style to changing situations and audiences with tact, poise, and patience; demonstrates persistence to drive change and contributes to a positive, productive work environment
• Actively listens and asks meaningful, relevant questions; able to partner effectively with remote team members across time zones
• Work management, organization, and planning
• Able to perform successfully in a fast-paced, intellectually intense, service-oriented environment; strong organizational and process management skills
• Ability to contribute to multiple workstreams simultaneously and prioritize efforts accordingly; demonstrated ability to drive projects to scheduled conclusion
• Proven experience working within Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or similar); comfortable with sprint ceremonies, backlog management, and iterative delivery

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, or a related technical field
• 3–5+ years of experience in business analysis or product management, with a track record of collecting and defining technical requirements for complex projects in an Agile environment
• Ability to write and interpret SQL; experience navigating databases and data models, with or without documentation
