• Applying financial services domain knowledge to understand client needs, business processes, regulatory considerations and operational impacts
• Translating business needs into clear, actionable requirements that enable engineering teams to deliver effective software solutions
• Translating product vision and epics into user stories and acceptance criteria, and maintaining an up-to-date product backlog
• Working closely with engineering and cross-functional teams to ensure user stories are delivered in line with the product vision, agreed priorities and delivery timelines
• Understanding the business rationale behind each requirement and helping align delivery with strategic objectives and specific feature outcomes
• Supporting agile ceremonies and delivery planning activities, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, showcases and retrospectives
• Offering actionable insights and solution recommendations grounded in client needs, organisational context and industry best practices

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in business analysis, with demonstrated experience delivering software solutions in agile software delivery environments
• Demonstrated experience working within the financial services industry is essential
• Experience in superannuation, retirement products, wealth management, banking, insurance or adjacent financial services domains is highly desirable
• Proven ability to translate business needs into clear, actionable solution requirements, expressed in a way that enables engineering teams to deliver effectively against the product vision
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate requirements, decisions and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Solid understanding of software development planning techniques, particularly within Agile Scrum environments
• Familiarity with standard business analysis practices, tools and deliverables, including process modelling, requirements documentation, stakeholder mapping, user stories, acceptance criteria and backlog management
• Strong analytical mindset with a structured, self-directed approach to problem-solving
