About This Role:

- Assist with refinement of a robust backlog of user stories through collaboration with the Product Owner, Architects, Data Engineers, Developers and Business Partners.
- Perform data validation, functional testing and user acceptance testing to ensure solutions meet both business and technical requirements.
- Use SQL and other analytical tools to investigate data issues, verify requirements, validate solutions and support troubleshooting efforts.
- Identify risks, dependencies, assumptions and gaps in requirements before development begins, and support issue triage, root cause analysis and resolution tracking.
- Enhance end user satisfaction through continuous improvement of usability testing, ensuring delivery to the end user's highest needs.
- Advocate for data product standards, governance practices and reusable design patterns.
- Participate in all agile ceremonies for the assigned product team, as well as weekly department meetings.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Information Systems, Data Analytics or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 3+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Systems Analyst or Data Analyst, preferably in the consumer-packaged goods space.
- Experience gathering requirements and translating them into technical specifications for development teams.
- Experience with agile methodologies.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex data insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proven skill at balancing technical knowledge with business possibility and acumen, including foundational knowledge of data management, data structures and advanced analytics requests.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and the ability to deliver high-quality documentation.
- Curiosity and willingness to learn complex systems, processes and data flows, with a high degree of comfort in a fast-paced, dynamic and ambiguous environment.
Bonus Points:
- Proficiency with SQL for data exploration, testing and validation, and an understanding of data modeling concepts and database fundamentals.
- Experience with Profisee, Azure DevOps, Databricks and SQL databases, or similar cloud data platforms and Agile work management tools.
- Experience supporting data engineering, data warehousing, master data or analytics initiatives at enterprise scale.
- Experience creating process maps, data mappings, business rules and technical specifications.
