About the Position:
We are seeking a Technical Business Analyst to support a leading US-based financial services organization. This consultant role requires a strong technical background, ideally from a former engineering perspective to bridge business needs and technical delivery across distributed teams. The focus is on structuring and prioritizing demand across multiple business units, defining roadmaps, and collaborating closely with senior engineers on data-heavy systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Act as the primary interface between technology teams and business stakeholders to understand, structure, and translate complex requirements into actionable features. Navigate across multiple business units to align priorities, resolve conflicting demands, and serve as a gatekeeper for incoming requests. Define and maintain the product roadmap, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and technical feasibility. Partner with senior engineers and architects during story grooming and sprint planning, ensuring clarity, technical soundness, and value alignment. Oversee the end-to-end requirements lifecycle: elicitation, documentation, prioritization, and acceptance. Drive transparency across teams by tracking progress, managing expectations, and communicating effectively with stakeholders. Contribute to the continuous improvement of delivery processes, backlog management, and release planning.
Required Experience and Skills:
Proven experience as a Technical Business Analyst, or similar role in large-scale enterprise environments. Strong technical literacy; experience in data platforms, event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka), or integration-heavy solutions. Basic SQL skills/proficiency and familiarity with modern data storage/warehouse solutions (e.g. Amazon Redshift, and DocumentDB).Comfortable working directly with senior engineers and translating between business and technical contexts. Excellent problem-solving, stakeholder management, and prioritization skills. Prior hands-on experience in software engineering or systems analysis is highly preferred. Financial industry experience is a plus but not required.
