Senior Business Analyst / Lead Business Analyst

Senior Business Analyst Azure DevOps & UAT

The strongest candidate is a CBAP-certified Senior Business Analyst who can independently lead complex requirements and process-analysis activities while remaining closely connected to delivery, testing, and implementation.

You know how to challenge unclear requirements, uncover the real business need, model current and future processes, create development-ready requirements, maintain a disciplined Azure DevOps backlog, support UAT, and prepare users for successful adoption.

You are equally comfortable facilitating a stakeholder discovery session, writing detailed requirements, reviewing user stories with a Product Owner, coordinating UAT, analyzing a process gap, and creating the documentation needed to support a successful production release.
