Senior Business Analyst

About the Role

You'll work on the front line of client engagement - presales and Discovery, not months of steady-state project work. Your core job: turn fragmentary client input (a meeting or two, personas, app goals, rough budget) into a quote-ready solution scope, often within days. You'll also lead Discovery workshops and, when needed, switch into delivery mode as a Product Owner on multi-month projects, scoping ahead of the development team.

What will you do as Presales & Discovery Technical Business Analyst?

• Build solution scope for estimation from limited input, in cycles from a few days to a few weeks
• Lead Discovery and scoping workshops (online and on-site): business needs, problems to solve, personas, value streams, expected system mechanics
• Write functional and non-functional requirements — epics and user stories with acceptance criteria — and maintain the Jira backlog for the dev team
• Design solutions end-to-end: translate business needs into features, define product KPIs, co-create initial architecture and stack recommendations with engineers
• Act as Product Owner with product management elements on delivery projects

Salary ranges:

• PLN 12 000 - 19 000 monthly gross (Contract of employment).
