About The Position

We are seeking a Business Analyst who will also serve as Scrum Master for our Software Development team. This person will translate operational needs into clear, sprint-ready user stories, and will own the health of our Agile process — facilitating ceremonies, removing impediments, and keeping the team focused and delivering. They will learn our business and manufacturing processes, work directly with end users and developers, and maintain a consistent pipeline of refined work for upcoming sprints.

• Ability to learn complex business and manufacturing processes.
• Experience gathering and documenting business or software requirements.
• Ability to write clear user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Experience facilitating Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, reviews).
• Comfortable working with both technical and nontechnical employees.
• Willingness to spend time with end users in office and plant-floor environments.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Agile software development, manufacturing operations, or internally developed applications is preferred.
• Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent) preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

• Meet with users, department leaders, and developers to understand business needs and operational challenges.
• Learn the company's manufacturing processes, business rules, and software applications.
• Convert requests into well-defined user stories with acceptance criteria, exceptions, dependencies, and expected outcomes.
• Facilitate discovery and backlog-refinement discussions throughout each sprint.
• Facilitate sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Identify unclear, conflicting, or duplicate requirements and potential impacts on other systems or departments.
• Create process flows, mockups, and supporting documentation when beneficial.
• Track and communicate sprint progress, velocity, and burndown to stakeholders.
• Assist with prioritization, user acceptance testing, and communication of completed changes.
