• Facilitate scoping discussions to define objectives, use cases, dependencies, constraints, open questions, assumptions, and key decisions.
• Maintain organized project and requirements documentation, including meeting notes, action items, decision logs, issue lists, requirement updates, and testing feedback.
• Assist with user acceptance testing by helping define test scenarios, capturing stakeholder feedback, documenting issues, and confirming whether solutions align with documented requirements.
• Support change management and adoption efforts by coordinating stakeholder communication, preparing user guidance, documenting process changes, and supporting training or rollout activities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required.
• 4 to 6 years of relevant professional experience in business analysis, systems analysis, technical project management, or a related role.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.

• Comfort working with technical teams and discussing software, systems, data, workflows, or application development concepts.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems, Computer Information Systems, or a related field preferred.
