  • Make informed design and user-experience decisions related to new, core, and future features, balancing usability, consistency, and technical constraints. 
  • Contribute to and help improve existing product and delivery processes; assist in defining new processes where gaps exist. 
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional team members, including other analysts, developers, project managers, QA, and others. 
  • Assist in creating supporting documentation such as release notes, user guides, and other supporting content. 

Desired Credentials:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Business Administration, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline. 
  • 5+ year experience in a related field such as business analysis, project management, or a related role within a software or technology-driven environment. 
  • Experience working in regulated, complex, or data-rich domains (e.g., aviation, maintenance tracking, inventory management, financial services, insurance) is a strong plus. 
  • Demonstrated experience eliciting requirements, writing user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and supporting Agile/Scrum development teams. 
  • Strong ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing, with technical and non-technical stakeholders. 
  • Hands-on experience creating wireframes, mockups, or process flows to support product definition and design discussions. 
  • Comfort working with complex data models, business rules, and system integrations; ability to reason through data dependencies and edge cases.
  • Familiarity with Agile delivery practices and working closely with Engineering and QA throughout the development lifecycle. 
  • Experience with business aviation software (maintenance tracking, component inventory, MRO systems) is a plus but not required.
  • Good knowledge of Microsoft office tools (Excel, SharePoint, Teams, O365).
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate concisely and effectively (written and verbal) within high-level technical context, to own and produce documents presented to stakeholders.
