Business Analyst (Remote, Full Time, Philippines based)

Expected Salary: ₱85,000–₱105,000 gross per month, negotiable for exceptionally relevant

experience

About the company

Our client, FutureAbility, is an Australian Microsoft Power Platform consultancy building AI

and automation solutions for private and government clients - across Power Apps, Power

Pages, Power Automate, Power BI and Copilot Studio, with AI agents increasingly at the

centre of everything they deliver.

FutureAbility works differently to most consultancies. Their focus is governance, enablement

and organisational change - helping clients choose the right things to build, not only just

building them. Through their Accelerator program, they take client AI and automation use

cases from intake through to proof of concept, and they run workshops, strategic hackathons

and AI governance forums directly with client leadership teams.

Their work spans AI agents built with Copilot Studio, client and supplier portals, apps for

data-driven workflows such as client onboarding, and approval workflows for government

and legal clients - all with one thing in common: Power Platform and AI for business

transformation.

This is a small, senior team growing deliberately, and this role is their first dedicated

Business Analyst. That means real ownership from day one - shaping the templates,

standards and practices the BA function runs on, working across multiple clients at once,

and sitting close to the front line of how AI is changing the way organisations operate. It will

suit a self-starting analyst who wants to build something, not slot into something.

About the job

Reporting to the Delivery Lead, the primary purpose of the role is to own the requirements-

to-delivery bridge across FutureAbility's client engagements, translating client conversations,

workshops and business problems into structured artefacts that development and solution

architecture teams can build from, and that clients can sign off on with confidence.

The role carries real scope and autonomy. You'll work across multiple concurrent

engagements - including our Accelerator program, a structured pipeline that takes client AI

and automation use cases from intake through to proof of concept - with direct exposure to

client stakeholders at every level.

You'll also help establish and refine the templates, standards and practices the BA function

runs on, so the way we do discovery, requirements and backlog management keeps

improving as the business grows.

This is a Philippines based remote role that requires overlap required with Sydney business

hours (AEST / AEDT) for client-facing sessions, workshops and governance forums. It is

managed under FutureAbility’s EOR arrangement.

About You

To succeed in this Business Analyst role, we you must demonstrate the following

experience, attributes and skills:

 At least 3+ years' business analysis experience, ideally in a consulting or multi-client

environment. Experience with major consulting firms such as Accenture, KPMG, or

Deloitte would be ideal

 Familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform or a comparable low-code / enterprise platform

ecosystem

 Working knowledge of Agile / Scrum delivery practices

 Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills

 Comfortable working across multiple concurrent client engagements

 Strong written and verbal English - this is a client-facing role involving direct workshops,

governance forums and executive-level communication with Australian stakeholders

Professional Competencies:

 Certification in CBAP, PMI-PBA, an Agile BA credential or equivalent

 Exposure to AI and automation projects

 Experience supporting client success or proposal development

 Experience building reporting or dashboards (e.g. Power BI) - useful for BA practice

analytics as well as client-facing work

Key Responsibilities

1. Requirements and discovery

• Plan and run discovery workshops and requirements sessions with client stakeholders

• Identify functional and non-functional requirements, constraints and dependencies

• Analyse business processes and data to identify problems and opportunities

2. Documentation and backlog management

• Author Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), process maps, and current-state /

future-state documentation

• Break down solutions into epics, user stories and structured backlogs (Jira); maintain

traceability between requirements, backlog items and delivery phases

• Produce wireframe specifications and design prompts (e.g. Figma Make) in collaboration

with Solution Architects; translate requirements into functional specifications developers

can build against

• Work with technical teams to support solution design and implementation

• Own and maintain backlogs across active engagements, support delivery planning, and

flag scope creep or ambiguity early with the Delivery Lead

• Support the QA Tester with user guide documentation

3. Testing and quality

• Support the QA Tester in defining test strategy and scenarios, and in performing

functional and post-release testing

• Define acceptance criteria against requirements, and lead or support UAT to validate

solutions meet them

4. Stakeholder engagement and commercial support

• Consult, collaborate and coordinate with business SMEs, stakeholders and vendors;

present findings and recommendations

• Support recurring governance forums (e.g. client AI Councils, steering committees)

• Contribute effort estimates and estimation workbooks alongside the delivery team

• Support statement of work (SoW) and tender response development with structured

requirements input

5. Accelerator

• Support intake and triage frameworks for AI and automation use cases (e.g. scoring

models, triage guides), and assist in structuring use case backlogs for prioritisation

• Draft PoC overview documents for the Accelerator - scope, measures of success,

hypothesis testing - for review and sign-off, with increasing ownership as you establish

yourself

6. BA practice development

• Establish and refine reusable templates, playbooks and standard methodology so BA

work is consistent across engagements, and propose improvements to how discovery,

requirements and backlog management are run

• Develop reporting and analytics on the BA function itself - e.g. requirements cycle time,

backlog health, scope change rates, requirements-to-delivery velocity - to give visibility

into performance across engagements

Tools and systems

Platform: Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, Power

Automate, Dataverse)

What success looks like in the first six months

engagements

• BA workstreams run day-to-day without escalation or rework

• Client stakeholders report clarity and confidence in requirements artefacts

• Backlogs are consistently maintained and traceable to signed-off requirements

• At least one reusable BA template or process improvement introduced and adopted
