About
Good software should make complicated things feel simple.
That's what we do at ClassOwl: we take the everyday chaos of running a school and turn it into one clean platform that teachers, students, parents and admins actually love. Now we need a Business Analyst who sees a tangled process and wants to bring order to it.
We encourage you to apply if you are an agile, smart, proactive, and intellectually curious person who loves building complex systems while keeping them inherently simple.
You will work with our Business stakeholders and customers, collecting and refining requirements while still being able to make decisions independently. You will collaborate fluently in German and in English, and derive correct insights into user behavior.
