  • Collaborate with QA to ensure test cases align with acceptance criteria. 
  • Contribute to sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives to ensure smooth delivery. 

  

Qualifications 

  • Proven experience as a Business Analyst in digital platform delivery (ideally CMS / AEM). 
  • Strong skills in requirements gathering, user story writing, and backlog management. 
  • Familiarity with agile delivery frameworks (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban). 
  • Understanding of CMS concepts such as templates, components, content workflows, and personalization. 
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both business stakeholders and technical teams. 
  • Experience with collaboration and tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Miro). 
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to simplify complexity.  

Personal: 

  • Detail-oriented and structured in approach. 
  • Strong communicator who can bridge business and technical perspectives. 
  • Proactive in identifying gaps, risks, and dependencies. 
  • Collaborative mindset with a positive, solution-focused attitude. 
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, agile delivery environments. 
     

Benefits: 

  • A nice pension scheme + health insurance 
  • Weekly Friday bars (yup, your weekend buzz is on us!) 
  • Breakfast and lunch at our office
  • Flexible work model with remote workday options
  • An unlimited amount of coffee, tea and supportive colleagues
