About Us

MOZAYDO was built by people who believe work should feel human - even when powered by technology.

We’re a remote-first company that connects talent, technology, and purpose to help companies grow sustainably.

We also believe recruitment should be more than matching keywords to job descriptions. It's about understanding people, recognising potential, and creating the right conditions for long-term success. Here, ownership matters more than control, and progress matters more than perfection.

People powered, tech enabled.

About the Role

We're looking for someone who can bring their expertise, ambition, and unique perspective to one of the project teams we support.

At MOZAYDO, we believe great careers are built where talent, purpose, and opportunity meet. While we're currently hiring for a specific project environment, our focus goes beyond matching skills to requirements. We want to understand where you can create the most impact and continue growing.

As a Senior Business Analyst, you will support the evolution of a third-party data ecosystem within an international banking environment. The project focuses on improving data quality, consistency, accessibility, and real-time availability through APIs, data virtualization, and the modernization of reference data systems.

You will manage the complete requirements lifecycle, from initial specification to delivery, bridging business stakeholders and development teams while supporting Agile delivery and testing.

Responsibilities

• Lead workshops and interviews to gather, analyse, and document business requirements.
• Translate business needs into functional and technical specifications, user stories, acceptance criteria, and process maps.
• Manage and prioritise the product backlog, aligning delivery with the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
• Analyse current processes and design future workflows, identifying opportunities for automation and operational improvement.
• Coordinate with business stakeholders and development teams to clarify requirements, manage expectations, and validate solutions.
• Define test strategies and complex Integration System Testing (IST) scenarios for APIs, interfaces, and data flows.
• Coordinate functional testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), perform regression testing, and manage defects.
• Ensure traceability between requirements and test cases using ALM Octane, Jira, and Confluence.
• Investigate data quality issues and inconsistencies across reference data sources, identifying root causes and improvements.
• Support end users during validation, deployment, and solution adoption.

Requirements

• More than 3 years of experience as a Business Analyst or in a similar role within an IT environment.
• Educational background in Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or Business Management.
• Professional experience in reference data administration, data management, and databases.
• Strong requirements analysis and documentation skills, including user stories, use cases, and business rules.
• Expertise in process modelling using BPMN, UML, or equivalent approaches.
• Advanced knowledge of Agile methodologies, backlog refinement, sprint management, and MVP prioritisation.
• Strong experience designing IST scenarios for APIs and interfaces, coordinating UAT, and managing defects.
• Strong understanding of application architecture, system interfaces, data flows, integration patterns, APIs, and data virtualization.
• Proficiency in ALM Octane, Jira, and Confluence.
• English proficiency at B2 level or above.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex information to different audiences.
• A collaborative approach, attention to detail, and the ability to understand user needs and support change.
