You will join Technology & Data Delivery Enablement, a squad‑facing function that supports Agile delivery by translating business needs into clear, testable requirements and enabling predictable, high‑quality outcomes. The team partners closely with Delivery Owners, Technical Owners, Product Owners, and cross‑functional squad members, with strong visibility across technology initiatives.

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Engage with business stakeholders and end users to elicit, validate, and refine requirements that drive measurable outcomes.
• Translate business needs into clear, testable, delivery‑ready requirements aligned to business strategy and value.
• Partner with Delivery Owners, Product Owners, and squads on Agile ceremonies (story creation, backlog refinement, sprint planning) to support continuous flow.
• Identify and surface delivery risks early (e.g., requirement clarity, feasibility, dependencies) and drive mitigations with clear ownership.
• Maintain high‑quality documentation and requirement artifacts in tools such as Jira and Confluence; support testing activities (e.g., smoke testing) to confirm requirements are met.

You May Be a Good Fit If

• You have a bachelor’s degree in business, Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• You bring 3–5 years of experience in business analysis, requirements management, or a related role, ideally in an Agile environment.
• You have strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across business and technical teams.
• You’re eager to learn and apply modern practices, including AI‑enabled tools for requirements gathering and documentation.

What Would Make You Stand Out

• Business Analysis or Agile certification (e.g., CBAP, CCBA, PMI-ACP).
• Hands‑on experience with requirements/documentation tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence).
• Exposure to data analysis and/or SQL, including data profiling or documenting data flows.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and non‑functional requirements.
