Job Overview

Data is only powerful when it’s turned into action—and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join our Data & AI team and play a pivotal role in shaping how ideas become impactful, data-driven solutions. You’ll sit at the intersection of business strategy, analytics, and technology—partnering with stakeholders to turn curiosity, questions, and challenges into clearly defined initiatives that fuel insight, automation, and smarter decision-making.

This role goes beyond traditional requirements gathering. You’ll be the front door to the Data & AI pipeline, helping define what we work on, why it matters, and how we deliver value—fast, iteratively, and with intention.

Be the Catalyst for Data & AI Work

You’ll lead discovery conversations that uncover the real business problems behind requests—clarifying goals, defining outcomes, and ensuring ideas are fully formed before they enter delivery. Nothing vague. Nothing half-baked.

Turn Big Ideas into Clear Direction

Bridge Strategy and Execution

You’ll act as a connective thread between business leaders, product owners, data engineers, and BI developers—ensuring shared understanding of scope, priorities, and progress at every stage.

Own the Flow from Intake to Impact

From initial request through sprint delivery, you’ll help guide work forward—tracking progress, removing ambiguity, and keeping stakeholders informed and engaged along the way.

Elevate How Work Gets Done

You’ll bring structure and consistency to how initiatives are captured, prioritized, and managed—using tools like Microsoft Loop, Jira, and SharePoint to ensure transparency and follow-through.

Champion Agile, Iterative Value

You’ll help teams and stakeholders think in terms of MVPs, experimentation, and continuous improvement—ensuring value is delivered early and refined often.
