Business Analyst
Jellyvision is hiring a Business Analyst
Company Overview
We at Jellyvision are the proud parents of ALEX®, an interactive employee communications platform that makes tricky decisions—like choosing and using employee benefits—easier and more enjoyable. The success of ALEX has exceeded our wildest work-related dreams, which is why we need a talented Business Analyst to help us.
What you'll do
As a Business Analyst for the ALEX Platform, you will translate epic-level features and business needs into granular, usable requirements for development. You will partner with product managers and internal development teams to most effectively build and support products and features that align with product vision, business needs, and product managers’ expectations.
How you'll help
- Translate business needs into clear, concise, complete, specific, and unambiguous requirements including, whenever possible, all user types/paths for each feature.
- Analyze situations and problems using industry/user data, leading questions, historical knowledge, and other relevant information to recommend solutions.
- Document requirements throughout a feature's development cycle to ensure clarity and expectation among product managers and development teams, especially for interdependent features that require multiple teams.
- Ensure accessibility and analytics requirements have been considered and vetted.
- Facilitate planning the technical components of a feature.
- Provide details, information and support to Project Manager/Agile Facilitator so the Project Manager/Agile Facilitator can manage dependencies of features, teams, and tools.

- Provide regular updates to stakeholders and product managers regarding feature development, A/B testing, and major defects.
- Manage day-to-day ticket priority within the backlog based on guidance from Product Manager and consultation from Project Manager. A Product Manager will set high-level roadmap priority for features while Business Analyst will ensure that priority is reflected within development team backlogs on the specific tickets.
- Ensure adequate volume of tickets in Creative and Production backlogs are fleshed out with enough detail to keep development teams productive.
- Educate and coach development teams and ticket writers on good requirements documentation, using good judgement to strike a balance between helpful vs. overdone process and documentation.
