The Business Analyst (BA) supports data-driven decision-making, product development, and enterprise initiatives by partnering on business discovery, requirements definition, and process design across the organization. This role serves as a critical bridge between leadership, product management, and delivery teams—transforming complex or ambiguous needs into well-defined problem statements, solution documentation, and decision-support artifacts.
