Full Description

As an entry-level Business Analyst at Hiredbuddy, you will play a key role in bridging the gap between business needs and technology solutions. Working remotely, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand organizational challenges, document requirements, and propose data-driven improvements.

• Conducting research and analysis on business processes to identify areas for improvement.
• Gathering and documenting detailed requirements from stakeholders using interviews, surveys, and observation.
• Creating and maintaining documentation, including process flows, data dictionaries, and functional specifications.
• Assisting in the design of solutions and participating in system testing to ensure requirements are met.
• Supporting project managers with planning, tracking, and reporting on project progress.
• Collaborating with developers, testers, and other analysts to ensure successful implementation.
• Providing regular updates to management and stakeholders on findings and recommendations.
• Continuously learning and applying best practices in business analysis and industry-specific trends.
