Senior Salesforce Business Analyst (BA)
This position is critical to the project's success and will serve as the primary BA responsible for leading discovery and refinement sessions, capturing business needs, and ensuring traceable, testable user stories that align to strategic goals.
Ideal Profile Criteria:
Required Experience:
- 7+ years of business analysis experience, with 3+ years supporting complex, enterprise Salesforce projects.
- Deep understanding of Salesforce (preferably Education Cloud), CRM workflows, and user journey mapping.
- Demonstrated experience working in high-stakes, cross-functional environments with executive visibility.
- Background in higher education or public sector is a plus, though not required.
Core Responsibilities:
- Partner with developers, technical leads, and stakeholders to conduct discovery and refinement sessions.
- Elicit and document business goals, objectives, success metrics, constraints, assumptions, and acceptance criteria using the Gherkin model (Given/When/Then).
- Maintain strong documentation discipline by entering and updating all requirements in Azure DevOps to support sprint planning and traceability.
- Ensure clear, testable user stories that prioritize user and business outcomes, not technical solutions.
- Drive shared understanding and alignment across business and technical teams.
- Support backlog grooming, sprint readiness, and issue triage as needed throughout delivery.
Key Attributes:
- Highly organized with a structured approach to documentation and backlog management.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Demonstrated thought leadership in navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in fast-paced environments.
- Self-directed, collaborative, and capable of managing competing priorities with minimal oversight.
- Experience working in Agile or Agile-Waterfall hybrid environments.
We are seeking someone who can start immediately or with minimal lead time, as the project is in active development with key milestones already underway.
