Technical Business Analyst

About the Opportunity

We’re hiring our first dedicated Technical Business Analyst for the Strategic Delivery team—someone eager to deepen their impact in product delivery and cross-functional collaboration. Working directly with external client stakeholders, you’ll shape how we define, document, and deliver value across engagements while building expertise in agile, product thinking, and MACH architecture. Over time, you can advance into a Product Owner role or other expanded responsibilities as business needs evolve. If you love turning complexity into clarity and helping clients ship high-impact solutions, we’d love to meet you.
