Business Analyst – Technical & Customer Facing
Posted Updated
Description
This is a remote position.
We are looking for a Business Analyst to help shape what the team builds and why, as well as how it gets delivered. You'll work closely with the Product Owner to set a clear vision and roadmap for the team and its Data Products. You'll also make sure business priorities turn into well-defined, valuable work for the engineering teams. If you enjoy connecting strategy to delivery, and can move easily between big-picture planning and detailed requirements, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
- Co-develop the product vision and roadmap with the Product Owner. Turn business strategy and stakeholder needs into a clear, prioritised plan for the teams data products.
- Engage stakeholders to understand their goals and pain points, define success metrics, and spell out the value each data product will deliver.
- Shape and prioritise initiatives by assessing value, effort, dependencies and risk. Use this to help decide what to build next and to keep the roadmap current.
- Turn roadmap items into delivery-ready work. Break them into epics and user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and manage the backlog in JIRA and AirFocus.
- Define technical requirements, covering data sources, integration points, data quality, lineage, security and performance expectations.
- Work with data engineers and architects on pragmatic, scalable solutions that stay aligned with the product vision.
- Communicate the roadmap and progress to stakeholders and leadership, so expectations and priorities stay aligned.
- Track realised value after release, and use the feedback to guide future roadmap decisions.
Requirements
- Experience helping to define product vision, roadmaps or prioritisation frameworks, ideally for data products.
- Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and influencing skills, including with senior audiences.
- Proven use of business analysis techniques to drive business change.
- Hands-on Agile delivery experience, including epics, user stories, JIRA and AirFocus.
- End-to-end experience with data products, from integration through to support.
- Familiarity with core data concepts such as ETL/ELT, data modelling, transformation and curation.
- Experience working in global, virtual teams.
Nice to have:
- Experience in clinical trial data.
- Understanding of regulated environments (e.g. GxP, data privacy).
- Familiarity with product management practices such as OKRs, value-based prioritisation and product discovery.
