Job Description:

This position focuses on both analyzing business needs and driving product development, making it clear that the role involves both strategic analysis and ownership of the product vision.

Responsibilities:

  • Alignment of Business Goals with Product Development:Understand and articulate the business's strategic goals, translating them into a clear product vision that guides development efforts.
  • Ensure the development team is focused on delivering features that align with these goals, driving the overall success of the product.
  • Gathering and Documenting Requirements:Gather and document business requirements from a diverse group of stakeholders, end-users, technical, and management teams.
  • Conduct thorough business analysis to ensure that requirements are well understood, documented, and communicated, reducing the risk of misunderstandings, scope creep, and misalignment.
  • Prioritization of Work:Manage the product backlog, prioritizing features and user stories based on business value, customer needs, and technical feasibility.
  • Ensure that the most critical work is completed first, maximizing the impact of each sprint and ensuring the timely delivery of valuable features.
  • Stakeholder Management and Communication:Act as the primary point of contact between stakeholders and the development team, managing stakeholder expectations, providing regular updates, and gathering feedback.
  • Ensure that the product remains aligned with business needs through continuous communication, helping to avoid last-minute surprises and keeping all parties aligned.
  • Product Development and Collaboration:Work closely with cross-functional teams, including operations, maintenance, and IT departments, to understand business requirements and align our software products and analytics initiatives with organizational objectives.
  • Act as a Product Owner by building and prioritizing user stories that capture business needs and technical requirements, ensuring alignment with the overall product vision.
  • Bridge the gap between business stakeholders and developers by translating business needs into technical specifications and ensuring a clear understanding of requirements.
  • Facilitating Agile Processes:Play a key role in facilitating Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives to maintain momentum and deliver on time.
  • Although this role includes these responsibilities, there is an option to carve out and deploy a Scrum Master to manage Agile processes specifically.
  • Quality Assurance:Work closely with QA teams to ensure that all user stories meet the acceptance criteria and quality standards.
  • Involvement in testing and validation helps ensure that the product not only functions as intended but also aligns with broader business objectives, reducing the likelihood of defects or missed requirements.
  • Knowledge Transfer and Support:Provide knowledge transfer and support to designers and developers, assisting with building web and mobile applications, as well as Power BI dashboards that visualize key performance indicators (KPIs), trends, and metrics.
  • Project Documentation and Technical Feasibility:Create and maintain project documentation, including user stories, functional requirements, process flows, behavior-driven use cases, and acceptance criteria in conjunction with peers and other subject matter experts.
  • Collaborate with development teams to ensure the technical feasibility of requirements and participate in sprint planning and review meetings.
  • Adaptability and Responsiveness:Continuously refine the product backlog and respond to feedback to ensure that the product remains relevant and competitive, especially in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities may shift.
  • Process Improvement and Innovation:Identify opportunities for process improvements and innovation, leveraging strong technical knowledge to suggest feasible solutions.
  • Data Analysis and Reporting:Utilize advanced analytics techniques and tools to dissect complex datasets and provide actionable insights.
  • Understand and document data integrations, data cleansing, and transformation processes, ensuring data accuracy and integrity across systems.
  • Communicate complex analytical findings effectively to stakeholders, providing insights that drive informed decision-making.
