Senior Business Analyst

About the Opportunity

Careerscape is hiring a Remote Business Analyst on behalf of our client — a fast-scaling, technology-driven company headquartered in New Jersey. This is a fully remote role built for a curious, structured thinker who genuinely enjoys the space between business needs and technical execution.

You'll spend your days talking to stakeholders, mapping how work actually gets done, surfacing inefficiencies, and shaping the kind of clear, build-ready requirements that keep engineering teams unblocked. If you're someone who can listen carefully, ask the right questions, and translate ambiguity into structure, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Engage directly with business stakeholders to elicit, document, and prioritize functional and non-functional requirements
• Translate strategic business goals into actionable user stories, use cases, acceptance criteria, and process diagrams
• Lead workshops, discovery sessions, and stakeholder interviews to align teams across departments
• Examine existing workflows to identify friction, surface inefficiencies, and recommend smarter alternatives
• Create and maintain detailed process documentation including flowcharts, swim lanes, and SOPs
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, QA, and UX designers across the full SDLC
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT) by drafting test cases, coordinating testers, and triaging issues
• Conduct gap analysis between current-state and future-state systems and processes
• Use data to support business cases, ROI modeling, and prioritization decisions
• Maintain organized project artifacts in Jira, Confluence, Asana, or Azure DevOps

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, or in a similar requirements-focused role
• Demonstrated strength in requirements gathering, documentation, and stakeholder management
• Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, Asana, or Azure DevOps
• Proficiency with diagramming tools such as Visio, Lucidchart, or Miro
• Working SQL skills for querying databases and validating data
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets fluency — pivot tables, lookups, and advanced formulas
• Experience operating within Agile and Scrum teams, including backlog refinement and sprint ceremonies
• Track record supporting UAT, including writing test cases and coordinating user testing cycles
• Exposure to BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Looker is a plus
• Certifications such as CBAP, CCBA, PMI-PBA, or Scrum are a plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication — fluent in both business and technical conversations
• Self-directed in a fully remote setting with strong multi-project time management
