• Analyze data and workflows with a focus on optimization, simplification, and measurable improvement.
• Partner with stakeholders across the organization to gather requirements and feedback, translating them into well-defined functional specifications.
• Identify and communicate priorities, risks, and resource needs to keep initiatives on track.
• Design, test, and implement solutions, primarily within our project management platform (Wrike), ensuring changes are ready before go‑live.
• Sustain and refine solutions after implementation through validation, user feedback, and lessons‑learned reviews.
• Create and maintain clear process documentation to enable training, continuity, and compliance.

You will be a great fit if you have:

• 3–5 years of experience as a Business Analyst or in a similar role.
• A degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, or a related field.
• Strong experience translating complex business operations into structured, well-defined requirements.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
• A practical, investigative approach to problem‑solving, with a bias toward action.
• A high level of organization and a continuous improvement mindset.
• Bonus: experience working with tools such as Wrike, ERP or PLM systems, scripting or data tools (SQL, Python, C#, VBA), and general comfort working with AI‑enabled tools.
