• Own the BA workstream by driving discovery efforts, framing problems, and managing the product backlog across near, mid, and far horizons. • Write, refine, and validate user stories and clear acceptance criteria while championing a culture of Continuous Discovery. • Act as a strategic thought partner to the Product Owner, stepping in as the de facto PO to prioritize use cases and guide solution direction when necessary. • Independently design and facilitate requirements workshops, design conferences, and process walkthroughs. • Manage complex, multi-level stakeholder relationships across client and delivery organizations (including technical, financial, and executive sponsors). • Proactively communicate progress, scope changes, and risks to build client confidence through reliable, outcome-focused engagement. • Produce and maintain comprehensive documentation, including BRDs, FSDs, user stories, and BPMN-aligned As-Is/To-Be process models. • Collaborate with engineering teams to define data requirements, source systems, and transformation logic. • Curate the squad’s knowledge base, playbooks, and reusable artifacts to ensure consistent delivery standards. • Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and conduct ad-hoc functional testing to ensure features meet requirements and reduce late-cycle rework. • Actively participate in and facilitate core Agile scrum ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, refinement, reviews, retrospectives) while continuously improving the squad's operating cadence. • Manage defect resolution, consolidate stakeholder feedback, and secure final client sign-off. • Collaborate with the Product Owner to track KPIs, measure delivery against business outcomes, and frame sprint reviews around tangible value delivered. • Operate with high autonomy to navigate scope challenges, proposing constructive solutions rather than simply escalating problems. • Mentor junior BAs and actively contribute to the broader BA practice by improving standards, templates, and ways of working.
