Core Responsibilities:

Requirement Elicitation & Analysis: Lead workshops, interviews, and focus groups with cross-functional stakeholders to extract, analyze, and prioritize complex business requirements.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

Advanced Analytical Thinking: Proven ability to synthesize complex, ambiguous data from multiple sources into clear, structured requirements.
Technical Literacy: Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models (Agile/Scrum, Waterfall) and familiarity with data tools (e.g., SQL queries, data mapping tools, or reporting dashboards).
Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills, with a track record of successfully managing expectations across diverse user groups and leadership levels.
Tools: Proficiency with business analysis and project tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Miro, Clickup, Figma, or equivalent).

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g., Business Administration, Information Technology, Computer Science, Management Information Systems) from an accredited college or university AND three (3) years of directly related experience in business analysis, systems analysis, or IT project environments.
