This role is highly collaborative, interfacing with SCRUM teams, architects, product owners, and cross-functional stakeholders. The BSA will use tools like Enterprise Architect (EA) and Miro to model domains, define system interaction diagrams, and support requirements gathering - without coding responsibilities.

• Develop and maintain domain models, capability maps, and data dictionaries using EA and Miro.

• Translate business processes into modular service boundaries and identify reusable business logic.

• Drive MVP planning, define milestones, and establish clear acceptance criteria and dependencies.

• Translate business needs into structured logic flows, workflow rules, and technical documentation for modular services.

• Define integration payloads and dialect requirements (JSON, XML) to support API design (no coding required).

• Ensure accurate documentation and alignment with EA models and system diagrams.

• Actively participate in SCRUM ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives.

• Collaborate with QA/test automation teams (e.g., Tosca, UiPath) to ensure traceability and testability.

• Maintain alignment between EA models, Jira stories, and Confluence documentation.

• Document business logic and system behaviors in compliance with SOX and FINSIG controls.

• Support audit walkthroughs by maintaining traceability between rules, requirements, and test cases.

• Define metadata-driven rule frameworks to promote transparency and reusability.

• Deliver professional-grade documentation: process flows, capability diagrams, decision tables, integration specs, and glossaries.

• Serve as a liaison between product, development, and business teams to resolve ambiguity and mitigate delivery risks.

• Create progress visuals and milestone updates for leadership and stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field (Master's preferred).

• 6+ years as a Business Systems Analyst in enterprise software or platform modernization projects.

• Proven experience working in Agile/SCRUM environments on cross-functional teams.

• Prior experience modeling systems using Enterprise Architect (EA) or equivalent tools.

• Familiarity with cloud-native systems, modular design, and data-driven business rules.

• Proficiency with tools like EA, Jira, Confluence, Miro, Visio.

• Strong ability in business process modeling, workflow design, and requirements documentation.

• Understanding of integration structures (JSON/XML) for documentation purposes only (not development).

• Exposure to automation platforms such as Tosca or UiPath, and knowledge of audit frameworks (SOX, FINSIG).

• Strong communicator and visual storyteller through diagrams and models.

• Detail-oriented and structured thinker who values reusability, automation, and clarity.

• Comfortable with iterative delivery, agile processes, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

• Ability to balance technical precision with business context.
