Senior Information Technology Business Analyst

Senior Business Analyst / Hands-On Product Owner

Digital Servicing & Customer Experience

Location: Stamford, Connecticut

This position is 100% on-site.

Preferred AI Development Platform: AWS Kiro

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst / Product Owner with strong hands-on AI and automation capabilities to support the transformation of Digital Servicing and Customer Experience, with a focus on customer chat and digital servicing interactions.

This is primarily a Product Owner / Senior Business Analyst role, requiring the ability to independently identify business problems, analyze supporting data, define product requirements, develop comprehensive Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), and drive solutions toward delivery.

The ideal candidate will combine strong product ownership and business analysis expertise with practical technical capabilities in SQL, Python, APIs, AI-assisted coding, and workflow automation.

The individual will work closely with product, business, engineering, and architecture stakeholders to identify customer servicing challenges, evaluate automation opportunities, define development-ready requirements, and support the implementation of intelligent and AI-driven solutions.

The candidate should also be comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to build, test, and validate lightweight automation solutions and prototypes. AWS Kiro is the preferred platform, although experience with comparable AI-assisted coding and automation tools will be considered.

A Senior Business Analyst or Technical Business Analyst with comparable Product Owner responsibilities and hands-on AI automation experience will also be a strong fit.
