• Support AI proof-of-concept initiatives, MVP definition, and iterative product delivery.
• Identify quantifiable measures/ KPIs such as time spent on tasks to determine the success or progress of the proposed solutions.
• Define clear, concise user stories and acceptance criteria that guide development teams.
• Coordinate and support functional testing, UAT preparation, and validation of AI-enabled solutions against business requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Facilitate regular feedback loops by gathering input from users to refine product features and functionality.
• Manage backlog items using tools like Azure DevOps or Jira.
• Ensure thorough and comprehensive documentation of changes, updates, and new features.
• Work within scrum or agile development frameworks to ensure timely delivery of product increments.
• Act as a liaison between stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and alignment of business needs and technical solutions.
• Support organizational change and user adoption activities related to AI and automation initiatives.

Our ideal candidate

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Computer Science or a related field.
• 4-5+ years of proven experience as a Business Analyst in product development environments.
• A change mindset with an eye for continuous improvement and "can-do attitude".
• Strong expertise working in agile and scrum teams.
• Exceptional attention to detail in documentation, process mapping, and user story creation.
• Proven ability to work with diverse stakeholders including product owners, developers, testers, and end-users.
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar agile project management tools.
