You'll play a key role in ensuring our solutions are functional, user-friendly, and aligned with our strategic product vision.

Your Role

As a Functional Analyst, you will be a cornerstone of our product team. You will be responsible for translating complex business needs into clear and actionable functional specifications, supporting the entire product lifecycle from discovery to go-to-market.

Key Responsibilities

• Stay involved throughout the development and testing phases to ensure your specifications are implemented accurately and effectively
• Provide input to developers, support go-to-market efforts, and maintain clear documentation throughout
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3+ years in functional analysis that include at least 2 years of coaching other functional analysts. Experience should not be limited to business analysis. Functional analysis including close collaborations with developers/ architects is required.
• A critical and analytical mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions, product visions, and proposed solutions constructively
• A strong communicator who enjoys sharing knowledge and mentoring other analysts
• Experience working in Agile environments, while recognizing the value of structured methodologies
