Senior Data Business Analyst

This job is no longer open
Our Analysis discipline at Levvel, an Endava Company, is growing! We are looking for a highly
motivated and dynamic Senior Data Business Analyst. To succeed you must excel at
communicating across teams and balancing priorities. You thrive in communicating engineering
team concerns up and client concerns down, all while planning ahead and foreseeing potential
blockers. In addition to understanding how to pull business value from data, you must also
understand different technical components at a high level, and communicate them to the client.
As a Senior BA, you will understand how to filter and refine business requirements to build,
define, and prioritize user stories. The stories you create need to clearly and concisely explain
details for the client while also capturing sufficient technical details and acceptance criteria for
engineering teams. You have a strong attention to detail and know how to document complex
technical requirements to support the user stories.

You will work closely with other Business Analysts and program leaders to determine blockers
and coordinate sprint plans. You will also work with technical leads to refine user stories at a
technical level and with the client to extract project requirements. In your role, you will be
responsible for answering inquiries from other Business Analysts and engineers, when and where
requirements and technology intersect. When ticketed work is complete you will work closely
with the QA team to verify that business goals of the ticket were met.

Within the first three months you will have developed a deep story backlog with late breaking
blockers being kept to a minimum, and will have positioned your work, such that the client has a
firm understanding of what your team is working on in each sprint.

Within six months, you will have successfully provided the project with a greater level of
understanding through expanded project documentation, as well as have successfully executed
multiple sprint plans.
