This is an outstanding opportunity to integrate biotech specialization with software product understanding.

Position Title: Business Analyst I

Purpose

The Business Analyst I collaborate with product managers, customers, and engineering teams to grasp business needs and transform them into functional specifications. Acting as the customer's representative, this role ensures that user stories and features are clearly outlined, prioritized, and aligned with business objectives.

Flawless opportunity for candidates keen on merging biotech proficiency with software product understanding, particularly those familiar with flow devices and scientific processes, to progress into product ownership.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Work closely with product managers, senior product owners, and customers to collect and elaborate on business and functional requirements.
• Work closely with development/UX, engineering, and QA teams to ensure shared understanding of requirements and goals.
• Assist in managing and refining product backlogs, including writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and use cases.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Help translate product roadmaps into actionable tasks for development teams.
• Help define operational processes, particularly for laboratory and flow instrument applications (like flow cytometry, flow analyzers, or other relevant laboratory systems).
• Document and validate user workflows related to connected lab instruments and data-driven applications.
• Supervise progress, dependencies, and risks, advancing concerns to senior collaborators as necessary.
• Chip in to go-to-market activities, user enablement content, and release documentation.
• Promote Agile guidelines, Lean-Agile values, and collaborative team culture.
• Ensure adherence to QMS (ISO9001:2015) & ISMS (ISO 27001) standards and assist in audit procedures.
