Senior Business Analyst

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Business Analyst based in Brazil.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Business Analyst to join a dynamic team supporting a major cloud migration initiative for a U.S.-based organization in the workers’ compensation and disability insurance sector. In this role, you will help translate complex business needs into clear, actionable requirements that guide development and testing.

Working within an established project team, you will contribute to an ongoing migration from on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft Azure. This is a hands-on position focused on requirements gathering, functional documentation, and backlog management rather than solution architecture.

• Write detailed user stories and define acceptance criteria to support development, testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT).

• Manage and maintain project backlogs and work items in Azure DevOps, ensuring requirements are organized, prioritized, and accessible to the team.

• Break down complex requirements into manageable tasks and communicate functional expectations clearly to developers, testers, and other stakeholders.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams throughout the project lifecycle to clarify requirements, resolve ambiguities, and maintain alignment between business expectations and technical delivery.

• Support ongoing cloud migration activities by helping teams understand existing business processes and translate them into documented requirements for the target environment.

• Participate in technical interviewing initiatives by assessing prospective candidates for relevant technical and analytical capabilities, helping strengthen project teams and support organizational growth.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Professional experience: Senior-level experience as a Business Analyst, with the ability to join an active project and contribute effectively with minimal onboarding.

• Requirements management: Proven experience gathering, analyzing, and documenting requirements in collaboration with business stakeholders.

• Azure DevOps: Hands-on experience managing backlogs, writing user stories, defining acceptance criteria, and maintaining project work items.

• SQL proficiency: Practical experience using SQL to query, analyze, and validate data in support of business requirements.

• Technical understanding: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sufficient technical knowledge to collaborate effectively with software developers and testing teams.

• Communication skills: Advanced English proficiency, both written and spoken, with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently with U.S.-based clients and stakeholders.

• Collaboration and adaptability: Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, clarify complex business needs, and contribute to established projects in a distributed team environment.

Preferred qualifications:

• Professional certifications such as Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP), Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA), PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA), or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO).

• Experience supporting cloud migration projects, particularly those involving Microsoft Azure.

• Previous experience as a software developer or engineer before transitioning into business analysis.

• Familiarity with agile delivery methodologies, backlog refinement, functional testing, and user acceptance testing.

Benefits

• Competitive USD salary: Receive compensation in U.S. dollars.

• 100% remote work: Work from anywhere in Latin America, with opportunities to connect with colleagues at coworking spaces across the region.

• Paid time off and national holidays: Enjoy paid leave in accordance with the applicable regulations in your country.

• Collaborative community: Participate in team-building activities, virtual coffee breaks, technical talks, and social gatherings with colleagues across Latin America.

• Autonomy and flexibility: Work in an environment that prioritizes outcomes, open communication, trust, and professional independence.
