We are seeking a Senior Technical Business Analyst to own end-to-end BA delivery across ServiceNow, Microsoft Power Platform, and custom .NET/web applications. This role is embedded in Agile/Scrum squads using Azure DevOps (ADO) and focuses on requirements, UAT, and AI-enabled process improvement (Now Assist/GenAI, Power Automate, Power Platform).
The Senior BA will run ceremonies, manage stakeholder expectations, translate business needs into platform solutions, and drive measurable automation and process improvements across a global delivery footprint.
Responsibilities
•
Lead stakeholder discovery: interviews, JAD workshops, and observations to elicit, document, and validate requirements.
•
Decompose epics into user stories, define acceptance criteria, and maintain sprint-ready backlog in Azure DevOps.
•
Design UAT strategy, author test scripts, coordinate business testers, log and triage defects in ADO, and own UAT sign-off.
•
Identify AI, machine learning, and automation opportunities (Now Assist/GenAI, Power Automate) and build structured business cases with ROI.
•
Map current-state and future-state processes, perform gap and root cause analysis, and recommend implementable solutions.
•
Analyze and cleanse data to support decisions; produce interpretable visualizations and present findings to stakeholders.
•
Bridge functional requirements and platform capabilities for ServiceNow, Power Platform, and .NET/web applications to define configuration vs. development decisions.
•
Challenge requirements when feasibility, scalability, platform fit, or business value is unclear.
•
Manage sponsors, product owners, and cross-region stakeholders; surface risks, communicate tradeoffs, and control scope.
•
Produce enterprise-standard documentation: requirement specs, process maps, data flow diagrams, user story libraries, and runbooks.
•
Mentor junior BAs and interns; review deliverables and enforce ADO hygiene and documentation standards.
•
Create documentation that is clear, reusable, and understandable by people outside the original discussion.
Requirements
•
4+ years of business analyst experience delivering technology projects that resulted in shipped software.
•
Enterprise technology project experience, not only business operations analysis or PMO support.
•
Proven Agile/Scrum delivery experience; has owned a backlog in Azure DevOps or Jira and run grooming sessions.
•
Experience contributing to sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives, and delivery follow-up.
•
Proficient with Azure DevOps (epics, features, user stories, bugs, test cases, sprint boards, queries) as primary delivery tool.
•
Demonstrated facilitation experience running JAD sessions, stakeholder interviews, or collaborative workshops with documented, baselined outputs.
•
Experience working with mixed business and technical audiences.
•
Applied AI or automation in a project context (GenAI/Now Assist, Power Automate, or equivalent) with measurable outcomes.
•
Data analysis capability with comfort using SQL and advanced Excel or Power BI to interrogate data and support recommendations.
•
Process improvement experience mapping as-is/to-be processes, conducting gap analysis, and delivering implemented recommendations.
•
Recommendations must have led to real delivery outcomes, not only documentation.
•
Experience with ServiceNow functional requirements, design, or UAT for CSM, ITSM, HRSD, or SLO workstreams.
•
Strong written communication for requirements documents, process maps, status reports, and executive-level presentations.
•
Experience working across global delivery or multiple time zones and managing director-level stakeholders.
•
Ability to manage director-level or above stakeholders, verbally and in writing.
Nice to Have
•
IIBA CCBA/CBAP or PMI-PBA certification.
•
Six Sigma Green Belt or higher with applied DMAIC experience.
•
Hands-on experience gathering requirements or testing Power Apps, Power Automate flows, Power BI reports, or Power Pages.
•
Experience with custom .NET/web application requirements, APIs, or integration testing.
•
Experience with multi-region process standardization or global rollout coordination.
