Sr Business Analyst (Finance)

Overview

We are looking for a proactive and process-minded Sr Business Analyst to join our Data & Analytics team. This role is critical in translating business needs into clear, actionable requirements that lead to meaningful data and technology solutions.

As the primary point of contact for incoming requests, you'll work closely with stakeholders to clarify objectives, document outcomes, and ensure that each initiative moves forward with purpose and alignment. Beyond just capturing requirements, you'll help shape and evolve how we manage work-from intake through delivery-ensuring nothing gets lost between request and result.

• Bridge the Gap Between Business and Delivery Teams
  • Communicate clearly across functional lines to ensure mutual understanding of scope, status, and expectations.
• Drive the Lifecycle of Work
  • Partner with technical teams to track progress, clarify scope, remove blockers, and provide updates to stakeholders throughout the sprint cycle.
• Strengthen Process and Structure
  • Bring consistency to how requests are documented, prioritized, tracked, and followed through-using tools like Microsoft Loop, Jira, or SharePoint.
• Champion Agile and Iterative Progress
  • Embrace a working model where value is delivered iteratively. Help business users define MVPs and provide feedback early and often.
