Job description

Business Analyst (Freelance / Contract)

Start Date: April 13
Duration: ~4 weeks
Hours: 40 hours/week
Location: Remote


About the Role

A full-service digital agency is seeking a Business Analyst to support a fast-paced, high-impact engagement at the intersection of AI, product development, and finance workflows.

This project focuses on helping a leading business advisory organization evolve from traditional consulting engagements to building scalable, AI-powered workflow products for finance teams (e.g., controllers, FP&A, procurement).

The Business Analyst will play a critical role in bringing structure and clarity to early-stage product initiatives, helping transform complex business needs into actionable requirements and prioritized workstreams.


What You’ll Do

  • Assess, refine, and prioritize an existing product backlog at the start of the engagement
  • Translate business needs into clear requirements, user stories, and functional documentation
  • Partner closely with UX, design, and engineering teams to align on product direction and execution
  • Facilitate collaboration across client stakeholders and cross-functional agency teams
  • Ensure requirements are grounded in real-world workflows and system capabilities
  • Support UAT and validation efforts to ensure outputs align with business goals
  • Maintain backlog, documentation, and day-to-day delivery alignment

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of Business Analyst or Product experience
  • MUST HAVE: Agency or consulting experience (client-facing, fast-paced environments)
  • Proven ability to work directly with clients and lead stakeholder conversations
  • Experience translating business requirements into product and design direction
  • Strong experience with JIRA and Confluence
  • Background working with UX, product design, and engineering teams
  • Comfortable operating in Agile environments and managing evolving priorities
  • Experience with web or mobile product development

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to AI, automation, or workflow-based products
  • Experience within finance, enterprise systems, or B2B environments
  • Ability to operate in ambiguous, early-stage product environments
