Senior Business Systems Analyst
Summary
Senior Business Systems Analyst designs and implements a new enterprise-scale data platform on Microsoft Azure, gathering requirements from stakeholders and translating them into technical specifications for engineering teams.
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Business Systems Analyst with a strong background in data-focused projects to join an elite team building a brand-new, enterprise-scale data platform from scratch on Microsoft Azure. This is a pure greenfield delivery initiative focusing entirely on design, requirements engineering, and implementation.
In this role, you will own the end-to-end requirements lifecycle, running discovery workshops, gathering business needs, and translating them into clear, actionable stories for engineering and QA teams. You will act with high autonomy (thinking like a Technical Product Owner) to bridge the gap between senior client stakeholders and technical teams.
Essential functions
Own the requirements lifecycle: lead discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews, and workshops to surface, detail, and agree on functional and data requirements.
Translate complex business processes and data needs into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical documentation.
Collaborate closely with distributed Data Architects and Engineers, anticipating technical questions and clarifying ambiguities proactively.
Produce documentation tailored to both technical engineering teams and non-technical business end-users.
Act as a trusted advisor and Technical Product Owner within an Agile/Scrum delivery framework.
Qualifications
6+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst on data-centric projects (data warehousing, BI, or data platforms).
Conceptual understanding of modern cloud data stacks, specifically Azure Data Factory (ADF), Databricks, or Synapse.
Proven track record in greenfield initiatives and Agile/Scrum environments.
Strong hands-on experience with requirements management tools (Jira, Confluence).
High credibility, corporate diplomacy, and exceptional English communication skills (both written and verbal).
Would be a plus
Basic SQL querying skills.
Familiarity with Business Intelligence tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Qlik Sense, or Power BI).
Hands-on exposure to relational databases and API design concepts.
We offer
Opportunity to work on bleeding-edge projects
Work with a highly motivated and dedicated team
Competitive salary
Flexible schedule
Benefits package - medical insurance, sports
Corporate social events
