What will you do?

As a Business Analyst, you will be the link between the Product Owners, Project Managers, and the technical IT teams. Your primary role is to comprehend and translate business requirements into meaningful insights for the IT developers. The other way around, you will need to translate technical concepts into non-technical language so that everyone understands what is happening.

Also, you will:

• Work closely with stakeholders to understand the problem, define it, narrow its scope, and then specify the requirements for a solution;
• Refine the Epics and User Stories created by the Product Owner and make sure that it meets the Acceptance criteria. You make sure that every business rule is covered, and the functionality of the User Story is proper.
• Think of the interoperability of the modules, i.e., how new features and updates would affect the other modules.
• Create documentation that lays out how users will interact with a product or service while also explaining why they need it;
• Anticipate and analyze the needs of the businesses to find solutions to address their problems.

Where do you land?

You will join the Essbase & EPM team within the Controlling domain of DF&P. The team includes Business Analysts and Functional Application Managers who collaborate closely to ensure both continuity and development of our financial systems.
