• Find, report and reduce project and technology risks, weighing the business impact of proposed solutions before they affect operations.
• Produce advanced analysis that defines complex problems and leads to data-driven solutions that inform strategic decisions.
• Track timelines across several applications so cross-functional delivery stays on schedule and organizational goals are met.
• Coach team members daily, including work allocation, resource planning and professional growth.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in business analysis or project management, ideally in a technology-driven setting.

• Strong written and verbal communication, able to explain complex information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong organization and time management, with a consistent track record of meeting several competing deadlines.

Hybrid schedule: 3 days in the office and 2 days remote.
