IT Business Analyst - Retail
Troy, Michigan | Remote

Comments: Retail Domain work experience is mandatory

Position Summary 

  • The Retail IT Business Partner is the dedicated partner to a multibrand store network being brought onto one common retail platform spanning store operations, CRM, and finance integration, replacing legacy store systems. ,Deployments run business by business and store by store. 
  • This partner is the standing channel for every retail brand’s voice: requirements elicited from the people who run the stores, validated against how each business actually works, and signed off before anything goes live. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Serve as the single point of contact between Retail and IT — the front door for demand from the area into IT delivery, and the standing voice of the area inside IT. 
  • Bring the art of the possible to requirements conversations — working knowledge of the area’s core systems, so the business sees what existing platforms can already do before new build is assumed. 
  • Elicit business requirements through workshops, interviews, and direct process observation, and capture them in the requirements toolset (Azure DevOps) with traceability from need to build to test. 
  • Map current-state business processes and define future-state processes with the business ahead of any build, so programs start from agreed scope rather than assumptions. 
  • Manage requirements through their life cycle — prioritisation, change control, and formal business sign-off before build begins. 
  • Write requirements and acceptance criteria that are clear, testable, and buildable, and plan and support user acceptance testing with named business testers and recorded sign-off. 
  • Own business readiness for what ships — training coordination, adoption support, and post-go-live evaluation of whether the solution delivers the value intended. 
  • Help the area’s leadership shape and prioritise demand — keep a rolling view of what IT has in flight for the area, what comes next, and what it will take. 
  • Represent every retail business in requirements work — eliciting from general managers, store staff, and retail leadership across brands, and validating store-level 
  • processes and exceptions before sign-off. 
  • Own the requirements record for each deployment — documented requirements, named business approvers, user acceptance testing with store users, and recorded sign-off before any store goes live. 
  • Support store-by-store readiness — data validation, training, and adoption — through each deployment wave. 
  • Keep store operations, CRM, and finance integration requirements coherent, working with the Finance and Digital IT Business Partners. 

Required Qualifications 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Technology, or a related field. 
  • Minimum 5 years of business analysis experience on enterprise system implementations or major process-change programs. 
  • Demonstrated elicitation and documentation skills — requirements workshops, interviews, and process observation with business users at every level. 
  • Experience with process mapping and current-state to future-state definition. 
  • Experience managing requirements in a tracked toolset (Azure DevOps, Jira, or equivalent) with traceability and sign-off. 
  • Experience planning and supporting user acceptance testing with business testers. 
  • Working knowledge, at a superuser level or better, of at least one core system in this area (or a direct equivalent) — enough to speak to what the system can do when shaping requirements with the business. 
  • Experience supporting retail or multi-unit store operations — sales, inventory, and store-level processes. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • IIBA certification — CCBA or CBAP — or PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA). 
  • BRM Institute training or certification (BRMP) for the business-partner dimension of the role. 
  • Hands-on experience with retail operating platforms and CRM; Salesforce experience preferred. 
  • Experience in a multi-site manufacturing, distribution, or retail company. 

Skills and Competencies 

  • Elicitation and facilitation — draws out what the business actually needs, not just what it asks for. 
  • Written clarity — writes requirements a developer can build from and a tester can test against. 
  • Process thinking — sees the workflow behind the request and the exceptions behind the workflow. 
  • Stakeholder trust — becomes the person the business area calls first. 
  • Prioritisation judgment — helps the business sequence what matters against what is possible. 
  • Ownership through adoption — stays with the work through testing, training, and go-live, not just documentation. 

Success Metrics 

  • Requirements for Retail are clear, documented, and agreed before build starts. 
  • The business area treats this partner as its first call into IT. 
  • User acceptance testing runs with named business testers and recorded sign-off on every release that touches the area. 
  • Fewer late-stage surprises and fewer post-go-live changes traced to missed requirements. 
  • Adoption is measured and owned — the area uses what ships.
