Key job responsibilities

Requirement Analysis and Management

Proactive Coordination and Multi-Directional Communication

• Drive communication with different stakeholders (clients, development teams, and internal teams such as Operations, Sales, and Finance) in a clear, concise, and actionable way
• Organize meetings, document outcomes, assign next steps, and ensure every action item has a clear owner and deadline.

Agile and Scrum Facilitation

• Perform the role of Scrum Master: facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives
• Collaborate closely with the development team: follow up daily, remind deadlines, clarify blockers, and escalate when necessary
• Work with the Product Manager to manage and prioritize the product backlog.

Knowledge and Experience

• At least one year of experience as a Business Analyst or in a related role.
• A bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Information Systems, Business Administration, or a related field is preferred
• Experience in system integration projects and working with multiple external partners is a plus
• Familiarity with Agile and Scrum frameworks, as well as the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
• Comfortable using Agile project management tools such as Jira and Confluence to manage tasks, maintain sprint boards, and document progress.

Core Skills

• Analytical Thinking & Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with a growth mindset that embraces challenges and continuous learning
• Communication: Clear and respectful communication skills — able to summarize discussions, track decisions, and clarify next steps in meetings
• Stakeholder Management and Facilitation: Strong skills in coordinating diverse groups, encouraging quieter voices, managing expectations, and balancing multiple perspectives
• Proactive Ownership: High sense of responsibility, takes initiative, and ensures follow-ups happen without waiting for instructions.

Bonus Skills (nice to have)

• Basic data analysis skills (SQL, Excel, Google Sheets)
• Foundational knowledge of UI/UX design
• Scrum certifications such as Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) or Certified Scrum Master (CSM) are a plus.
