• Coordinate across cross-functional teams to resolve dependencies, ambiguities, and delivery blockers.

5. Testing & Quality Assurance

• Collaborate with QA to define test scenarios, review test cases for completeness (including negative scenarios), and support UAT.
• Analyze functional defects, clarify expected behavior, and support defect triage and production-readiness reviews.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, Business Information Systems, or a related discipline.
• 3–6 years of Business Analysis experience in banking, financial services, or payments technology.
• Strong experience gathering functional requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Good understanding of digital banking or payment-processing workflows and Agile methodologies.
• Working knowledge of REST APIs, JSON, system integrations, and basic database concepts.
• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, or equivalent delivery management tools.
