Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate brings a strong problem-solving mindset and a consultative approach to understanding business and technical needs. They are adept at working cross-functionally, clarifying ambiguous requirements, and proactively shaping solutions with stakeholders across departments. This individual consistently considers upstream and downstream impacts to prevent missed requirements and to improve data quality, consistency, and standardization.

Key Responsibilities

• Gather and document requirements: Meet with end users and stakeholders to capture detailed business needs and translate them into user stories with clear acceptance criteria.

• Support testing efforts: Partner with QA and testers to ensure acceptance criteria are clear, test cases are documented, and issues are tracked and triaged.

• Document processes and workflows: Create and maintain up-to-date process documentation, including standard operating procedures, flow diagrams, and technical specifications.

• Develop user enablement materials: (e.g., job aids, quick reference guides, FAQs) To support adoption of new or updated processes/systems.

• Manage project requirements: Track and prioritize requirements across Salesforce, MuleSoft, and AI initiatives to ensure alignment with business objectives.

• Facilitate Agile ceremonies: Participate in sprint planning, grooming sessions, standups, and retrospectives to drive team alignment and delivery.

• Leverage AI tools for productivity: Utilize generative AI tools to efficiently generate user stories, test cases, documentation, and analysis.

• Collaborate cross-functionally: Serve as the bridge between business users, developers, IT leadership, and external stakeholders — translating business needs into clear, executable plans.

• Continuously improve: Identify opportunities to improve documentation processes, requirements quality, and team efficiency through best practices and innovation.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in a Business Analyst role with demonstrated experience writing user stories.

• Agile methodology: Direct experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment with hands-on involvement in sprint cycles.

• Requirements documentation: Strong track record of gathering, analyzing, and documenting business requirements.

• Agile tools proficiency: Experience creating and managing user stories, backlogs, and workflows in tools like Jira or similar platforms.

• Bachelors level degree is preferred, but not required.

Location

• The position is fully remote but may require up to 15% travel to IEM facilities, supplier sites, compliance audits or conferences. Candidate may be required to work from the Austin office in the future as business needs evolve.
