Overview

We are seeking a Business Analyst who will also serve as Scrum Master for our Software Development team. This person will translate operational needs into clear, sprint-ready user stories, and will own the health of our Agile process — facilitating ceremonies, removing impediments, and keeping the team focused and delivering. They will learn our business and manufacturing processes, work directly with end users and developers, and maintain a consistent pipeline of refined work for upcoming sprints.

Responsibilities

  • Meet with users, department leaders, and developers to understand business needs and operational challenges.
  • Learn the company's manufacturing processes, business rules, and software applications.
  • Convert requests into well-defined user stories with acceptance criteria, exceptions, dependencies, and expected outcomes.
  • Facilitate discovery and backlog-refinement discussions throughout each sprint.
  • Facilitate sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Identify unclear, conflicting, or duplicate requirements and potential impacts on other systems or departments.
  • Create process flows, mockups, and supporting documentation when beneficial.
  • Track and communicate sprint progress, velocity, and burndown to stakeholders.
  • Assist with prioritization, user acceptance testing, and communication of completed changes.

Qualifications

Required

  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to learn complex business and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience gathering and documenting business or software requirements.
  • Ability to write clear user stories and acceptance criteria.
  • Experience facilitating Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, reviews).
  • Comfortable working with both technical and nontechnical employees.
  • Willingness to spend time with end users in office and plant-floor environments.
  • Experience with Agile software development, manufacturing operations, or internally developed applications is preferred.

Preferred

  • Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent) preferred but not required.
  • Bachelor’s degree
