RT Business Analyst – Real-Time Process Monitoring & Analytics

This is a remote position.

We are looking for an experienced Business Analyst to support Real-Time Process Monitoring & Analytics initiatives within a global pharmaceutical environment.

The role focuses on connecting business, laboratory, manufacturing, and technology teams to improve how scientific and operational data is collected, integrated, monitored, and analyzed.

You will work with scientists, manufacturing specialists, product managers, solution architects, and engineering teams to translate complex laboratory and production workflows into structured business requirements and actionable technical specifications.

Key areas include bioprocessing, cell health monitoring, potency assays, laboratory automation, and integrated manufacturing workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead requirements-gathering workshops, stakeholder interviews, discovery sessions, and process analysis activities.
  

• Analyze and document current-state (AS-IS) and future-state (TO-BE) laboratory and manufacturing processes.
  

• Gather and define functional, non-functional, data, integration, reporting, security, and compliance requirements.
  

• Create business process diagrams, BPMN models, swimlane diagrams, data-flow diagrams, and requirements traceability matrices.
  

• Translate business and scientific requirements into Jira epics, features, user stories, and clear acceptance criteria.
  

• Map data flows between laboratory instruments, manufacturing systems, process monitoring solutions, and enterprise data platforms.
  

• Collaborate with scientists, laboratory users, architects, developers, product owners, and external technology vendors.
  

• Identify process inefficiencies, technical dependencies, integration gaps, operational risks, and opportunities for automation.
  

• Support solution assessments, backlog prioritization, implementation planning, testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
  

• Ensure that requirements and proposed solutions align with relevant pharmaceutical compliance, validation, and data integrity standards.
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Business Systems Analyst, or Product Analyst in complex technology environments.
  

• Strong hands-on experience with business requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, and stakeholder management.
  

• Proven ability to analyze complex workflows and translate business needs into actionable technical requirements.
  

• Experience with business process modeling using BPMN, SIPOC, swimlane diagrams, or similar methodologies.
  

• Ability to document system integrations, data flows, business rules, systems of record, and non-functional requirements.
  

• Experience creating user stories, acceptance criteria, functional specifications, and traceability documentation.
  

• Strong working knowledge of Jira, Confluence, and Agile/Scrum methodologies.
  

• Ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  

• Excellent analytical thinking, communication, workshop facilitation, and documentation skills.
  

• Professional working proficiency in English.
  

Nice to Have

Pharmaceutical & Scientific Domain

• Experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, bioprocessing, laboratory automation, or scientific data management.
  

• Understanding of Process Analytical Technology (PAT), real-time process monitoring, cell health analysis, and potency assays.
  

• Familiarity with laboratory instruments, manufacturing equipment, scientific workflows, and time-series data.
  

• Knowledge of regulated environments, including GxP, computerized system validation, audit trails, and data integrity requirements.
  

Technology & Data Platforms

• Industrial automation and integration technologies: Ignition, OPC UA, DeltaV.
  

• Cloud-based data platforms and analytics: Databricks, Python, MLOps, and related technologies.
  

• Experience with manufacturing systems, laboratory data integration, and industrial data pipelines.
  

• Exposure to architecture assessments, vendor evaluations, and digital transformation projects.
  

Hands-on development experience with these technologies is not mandatory; the priority is the ability to understand and translate scientific and technical requirements.

Expected Deliverables

• Documented AS-IS and TO-BE business processes.
  

• Functional and non-functional requirements specifications.
  

• Process maps, data-flow diagrams, and integration inventories.
  

• Requirements traceability matrices and decision logs.
  

• Prioritized Jira backlogs with well-defined user stories and acceptance criteria.
  

• Risk and dependency assessments.
  

• UAT scenarios, test requirements, and operational handover documentation.
