About the Role
We are seeking a Technical Analyst to serve as a bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, translating business needs into clear, actionable technical requirements and solutions.

This role will work closely with business relationship managers, business analysts, project managers, architects, developers, quality assurance teams, and other technology partners to analyze complex application environments, integrations, and system dependencies.

What You'll Bring
The successful candidate will be a technically minded analyst who can move comfortably between business and technology teams.
