We are seeking a highly capable Business Analyst/ Product Manager to join our Solution Group. In this role, you will operate at the forefront of N-iX’s portfolio expansion, acting as a bridge between business strategy and technical execution.

Unlike a standard delivery role, this position requires a consultant mindset. You will work across various domains (e.g., FinTech, E-commerce, Manufacturing, Logistics) to lead discovery phases, shape solution proposals during presales, and drive the development of complex products for global enterprise clients.

1. Consultancy & Presales (Priority Focus)

• Lead Discovery & Assessment: Conduct discovery workshops and onsite assessments to analyze client business processes, identify gaps, and propose digital transformation strategies.
• Presales Support: Drive the technical and business stream of presales activities, including responding to RFPs/RFIs, estimating costs/timelines, and preparing solution proposals.
• Value Proposition: Define and articulate the business case for new products or features, ensuring alignment with the client’s strategic objectives (e.g., revenue growth, operational efficiency).
• Stakeholder Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor to C-level stakeholders and client product teams, guiding them through product strategy calibration, roadmap prioritization, and market analysis.

1. Product Management & Delivery

• Roadmap & Backlog: Build and manage product roadmaps (directional and implementation); prune and prioritize the backlog of user stories and tasks based on business value.
• Requirements Engineering: Translate high-level business needs into detailed functional specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria for development teams.
• Process Modeling: Create clear documentation artifacts, including BPMN diagrams, flowcharts, and user story maps to visualize complex workflows.
• Delivery Oversight: Collaborate closely with Tech Leads, Architects, and Delivery Managers to ensure the solution is delivered on time and meets quality standards.
• Change Management: Manage scope creep and handle change requests effectively, balancing client needs with project constraints.

• Experience: 5+ years of commercial experience in Business Analysis or Product Management within the IT industry.
• Consulting Mindset: Proven track record of working in a vendor/outsourcing environment with direct client-facing exposure (US/EU clients preferred).
• Analytical Skills: Strong ability to decompose complex business problems into actionable software requirements (WBS, functional decomposition).
• Agile Mastery: Deep understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and tools (Jira, Confluence, Miro).
• Communication: Advanced English (C1/C2) with excellent presentation skills. Ability to tailor communication to both technical engineers and C-suite executives.
• Flexibility: Willingness to switch between different projects/domains.

• Presales Experience: Significant experience leading or contributing to presales activities, creating proposal decks, and conducting "zero sprint" discoveries.
• Domain Versatility: Experience working in multiple business domains (e.g., Automotive, Supply Chain, Telecom, Finance) rather than a single industry.
• Technical Background: Basic understanding of software architecture (API integrations, Cloud platforms like AWS/Azure, Data Engineering) to effectively converse with technical teams.
• Certifications: Certified Product Owner (CSPO/PSPO), CBAP, or similar relevant certifications.
