Technical Business Analyst

About The Position

We are seeking a talented and experienced Technical Business Analyst with a passion for data and technology to join our team on a contract engagement. In this role you will serve as the connective tissue across concurrent data platform and emerging technology workstreams — facilitating discovery, translating stakeholder requirements into actionable artifacts, and ensuring architectural decisions made in one workstream are properly reflected in others.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field required.
  • 5+ years of experience as a business analyst or requirements analyst on data, analytics, or technology platform engagements, preferably within a consulting or professional services environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to facilitate structured discovery workshops with technical and non-technical stakeholders and produce clear, usable requirements artifacts from those sessions.
  • Light project management experience including milestone tracking, action item management, status reporting, and dependency coordination across multi-workstream engagements.
  • Strong written communication skills with a proven ability to produce structured documentation — requirements documents, functional specifications, scope logs, and workshop summaries — suitable for direct use in client deliverables.
  • Ability to manage context across multiple concurrent workstreams and serve as an information bridge between separate technical teams working on related but distinct problems.
  • Comfortable operating in a Phase 0 or architecture-and-planning engagement mode — producing planning and requirements artifacts rather than delivering production systems.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and organizational skills, with the ability to track open questions, decisions, and dependencies across a fast-moving consulting engagement.

Nice To Haves

  • Advanced degree preferred.
  • Experience with AWS data platform engagements preferred.
  • Familiarity with cloud data architecture concepts such as medallion lakehouse patterns, data governance frameworks, metadata management, and data quality practices is a strong plus.
  • Exposure to AWS services (S3, Glue, Redshift, DataZone, Lake Formation) in a project context is preferred; hands-on implementation experience is not required but direct AWS familiarity strengthens the candidate’s ability to contribute from day one.
  • Familiarity with emerging technology domains such as edge computing, IoT, or AI/ML systems is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

  • Lead structured discovery workshops with client engineering and product leadership to elicit, document, and validate business and technical requirements across data platform and technology workstreams.
  • Compile and maintain detailed requirements matrices documenting data types, system interfaces, processing frequencies, and dependency classifications across source systems and downstream consumers.
  • Own scope tracking and MVP boundary management — document, log, and protect agreed scope as it is confirmed with client stakeholders, ensuring any changes are captured through formal change control processes.
  • Consolidate and maintain business glossaries, metadata standards documentation, and data governance artifacts, coordinating with architects and data leads to ensure consistency and readiness for client handoff.
  • Act as the coordination bridge across concurrent workstreams, ensuring that data contracts, canonical definitions, and platform architecture decisions are reflected consistently across all active workstreams.
  • Facilitate technical feasibility workshops, track open questions and unresolved dependencies, and escalate risks to the project lead in a timely manner.
  • Translate complex technical architecture concepts into clear written requirements, functional specifications, and interaction models that can be validated by both technical teams and business stakeholders.
  • Support the Program Manager in maintaining the decision log, action item tracker, risk register, and stakeholder communication cadence across all active workstreams.
  • Produce clear, structured written artifacts throughout the engagement — requirements documents, workshop summaries, dependency logs, and scope protection records — that are used directly in client deliverables.
  • Assist with light project management responsibilities including milestone tracking, status reporting, and coordination of cross-team dependencies to keep delivery on schedule.
