Job Description

Working closely with Product Owners, UI/UX designers, developers, and engineers, the Business Analyst helps shape workflow and design requirements, ensuring that all relevant perspectives—including cross-functional dependencies—are incorporated. The role also collaborates with customer-facing teams and clients to ensure requirements reflect real-world needs and that product designs support both user experience and operational objectives.
Throughout the development cycle, the Business Analyst facilitates ongoing feedback loops by conducting demonstrations and review sessions with stakeholders, enabling timely input and alignment as features evolve.
