Business Systems Analyst

Do you live and breathe product requirements and thrive taking on tough complex issues and creating innovative designs and solutions? Evosus is looking for a Business Analyst with a passion for solving complex problems and is a natural and creative problem solver with a dedication to the success of every project!

Come join a small company with big dreams! Evosus is a 20-year-old company that's actively reinventing itself in the cloud. While we're currently the top business software in the Pool, Hot Tub and Hearth industries, we're shooting for the moon as we re-launch with our SaaS product.

Here’s a snapshot of what we want you to do:

The business analyst will help bridge the gap between End-Users, Business stakeholders and the development team by interpreting business requirements and end user expectations by creating well-documented functional development specifications.

You understand the upstream and downstream impact from application architecture and design through to application configuration and business process workflow. You can articulate the business value and impact of why a functional or technical improvement or enhancement is justified.

You will work closely with the business stakeholders and product team to assess the product functional requirements and create product briefs, wireframes, and mock designs that support the functional and technical requirements. You will then enter well documented user stories and track them through their development lifecycle so that they can be delivered to the business with the expected business value.

Here’s the stuff we expect you to be doing day to day:

• Participate in design discussions and ensure required functional specifications are delivered.

• Review business requirements with the technology team to ensure understanding of project requirements, communicate changes to the product team and update product documents as needed.

• Participate with backlog prioritization to help coordinate which tasks are most important or relevant from a business point of view and how they are impacted by the development process and technical implications.

• Serve as subject matter expert to consult and advise business stakeholders on how application features or products may be impacted by technical challenges & solutions or design changes.

• Participate in testing processes during software release phase and document feature functionality, enhancements, bugs, as well as any data mapping to prove the accuracy of how the application functions.

• Review End-user documentation/training materials for accuracy and completeness.

• Work in cross-functional environments including sales, marketing, business management, client support, training, and product teams
