This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Technical Business Analyst based in Saudi Arabia.
This is a remote contract opportunity for an experienced Technical Business Analyst with a strong interest in data, analytics, and emerging technology. You will serve as a key link between business stakeholders, technical teams, architects, and project leadership across multiple concurrent workstreams. The role focuses on structured discovery, requirements definition, scope management, and technical documentation rather than production implementation. You will help ensure that architectural decisions, data definitions, dependencies, and requirements remain aligned across projects. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and consulting-oriented, with significant exposure to complex client challenges. This position is well suited to someone who combines strong analytical thinking with excellent communication and organizational discipline.
Accountabilities
- Lead structured discovery workshops with engineering, product, business, and technical stakeholders to identify, document, and validate business and technical requirements.
- Build and maintain detailed requirements matrices covering data types, system interfaces, processing frequencies, dependencies, and downstream consumers.
- Own scope tracking and MVP boundary management, documenting agreed scope and ensuring changes are captured through appropriate change-control processes.
- Maintain business glossaries, metadata standards, data governance documentation, and other artifacts in collaboration with architects and data leads.
- Coordinate across concurrent workstreams to ensure data contracts, canonical definitions, and architectural decisions remain consistent.
- Facilitate technical feasibility discussions, track open questions and dependencies, and proactively escalate risks and unresolved issues.
- Translate complex architecture and technology concepts into clear requirements, functional specifications, interaction models, and other stakeholder-ready documentation.
- Support program leadership with decision logs, action trackers, risk registers, stakeholder communications, and delivery coordination.
- Produce high-quality client-facing deliverables, including requirements documents, workshop summaries, dependency logs, and scope-management records.
- Assist with light project management activities such as milestone tracking, status reporting, action-item management, and cross-team dependency coordination.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline; an advanced degree is preferred.
- 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, Technical Business Analyst, or Requirements Analyst working on data, analytics, technology, or platform engagements, ideally within consulting or professional services.
- Demonstrated experience facilitating structured discovery workshops with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and converting discussions into clear, actionable requirements.
- Strong understanding of data platform and cloud architecture concepts, including data governance, metadata management, data quality, and lakehouse patterns.
- Experience with AWS data environments is preferred, particularly familiarity with services such as S3, Glue, Redshift, DataZone, and Lake Formation; hands-on implementation is not required.
- Experience with light project management activities, including milestone tracking, status reporting, action-item management, risk tracking, and dependency coordination.
- Excellent written communication skills and the ability to create structured, client-ready requirements documents, functional specifications, scope logs, and workshop summaries.
- Strong organizational and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to maintain context and continuity across multiple concurrent technical workstreams.
- Ability to act as an effective information bridge between technical teams working on related but distinct problems.
- Comfortable working in early-stage architecture, planning, and discovery engagements where the focus is on requirements and planning artifacts rather than production implementation.
- Familiarity with emerging technologies such as edge computing, IoT, or AI/ML is a plus.
- Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and the confidence to identify risks, clarify ambiguity, and keep complex engagements moving forward.
