Business Analyst

HITT Contracting•Washington DC, DC

About The Position

HITT is seeking a Business Analyst to join the team designing and building HITT’s proprietary project software platform. This platform will support critical business capabilities across pricing, budgeting, financial management, and related processes. This is a hands-on role for a meticulous, business-focused BA who can translate business needs into clear requirements and help drive solutions from concept through delivery. The successful candidate will work directly in the system, gather requirements, support QA and testing, clear blockers to keep development, builds, and releases moving, and flex into project management responsibilities as needed — including driving test cycles, tracking timelines, and coordinating dependencies. The platform will continue to evolve, but the mandate is clear: deliver a pricing and financial management platform that elevates the business of building. Reporting to Product Leadership, this role will partner closely with business stakeholders, field users, Product, Engineering, and System Integrator partners to translate high-value business problems into actionable requirements, and to deliver practical, intuitive solutions through rapid, iterative Agile cycles. Because HITT builds software for builders, everything this role delivers must earn adoption in high-velocity, decentralized field environments—on jobsites, in trailers, and in offices—by users of many backgrounds. The specific components and feature-sets will evolve as HITT’s business and technology evolve; this role’s charge is durable: understand the business problem deeply, translate it clearly, and help the team keep shipping and raising the standard for what the platform can do.
