Responsibilities:

• Requirements Gathering: Lead interviews, workshops, and working sessions with internal stakeholders and customers to surface business needs and turn them into accurate, comprehensive requirements
• Backlog Refinement: Partner with Product Owners to shape user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional detail ahead of upcoming sprints
• Documentation: Produce and maintain Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), user stories, workflows, and process diagrams that make business needs unmistakably clear
• Translation of Needs: Convert layered business problems into technical and functional requirements that development teams can move on with confidence
• Subject Matter Expertise: Be the person teams turn to for clarity on requirements throughout the development lifecycle
• Prioritization Support: Help Product Owners weigh business value, risk, dependencies, and effort when sequencing the backlog
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Align Product Managers and other stakeholders around shared business goals and delivery plans
• Cross-Functional Communication: Bridge business, technical, and QA conversations so everyone is building toward the same outcome
• Ambiguity Resolution: Spot gaps, edge cases, and inconsistencies before they become rework, and resolve them with sound analytical judgment
• Agile Participation: Show up fully in sprint planning, backlog grooming, reviews, and retrospectives as a core part of the delivery team
• Root Cause Analysis: Dig into issues to find what's really driving them and recommend process or system improvements
• Standards & Best Practices: Keep business analysis work consistent and high-quality across templates, tools, and teams, and help raise the bar for others
• QA Collaboration: Validate requirements with QA, review test cases, and confirm delivered functionality actually meets the business need

Requirements:

• Must be US Citizen or Green Card holder
• W-2 Full Time Salaried
• 100% Remote, must reside and perform all work in the US full time
• 4+ years of experience in business analysis, systems analysis, or an equivalent role within a technology product or services organization
• A demonstrated ability to gather, analyze, and document functional requirements independently, with minimal hand-holding
• Experience leading or significantly contributing to backlog refinement on cross-functional teams, including writing detailed user stories and acceptance criteria
• Proficiency with agile tools and process documentation (process flows, data mapping, use case modeling) used as a matter of course, not a stretch
• Solid customer-facing communication skills, including experience navigating sensitive or high-visibility conversations
• Strong analytical instincts: you're comfortable sitting with ambiguity long enough to find the actual root cause
• Have mentored or informally guided less experienced analysts or be ready to start doing so
• Have worked specifically in govtech, civic tech, or another regulated/public-sector environment
• Bring exposure to e-commerce, ticketing, or reservation systems where transaction volume and edge cases matter
• Have experience standing up or improving BA standards and templates for a growing team
