**Requirements**

Hey there! So let’s just start here:
> You`re a perfect fit if you have at least 2 years of experience working as a Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, Project Manager or Product Owner;
> You know what to do and you don’t need to be micromanaged: you`re a self-starter and you get things done.
> You know how to discover the underlying ‘why`s’ of a problem, ideate potential solutions and make sure you find the right one that’s valuable and feasible at the same time. Admittedly, you can clearly articulate and document things.
> Terms like Project Management, QA and Data Analysis aren`t new to you, and therefore you`re able to confidently communicate with different departments and their team members;
> Your English level is simply exceptional which means that you`re a master of both written and spoken craft (you`re likely B2 or even cooler);
> Tech-savviness is something that you`re proud of: you possess knowledge of system design and integration, have the ability to dive really deep into a system, its interface, and technical documentation, and you also have experience in database-driven Web applications;
> Over the course of years in IT, you’ve gained a solid understanding of SDLC from inside-out: you know the difference between Waterfall, Agile and Lean development processes;
> And finally, you do understand business needs and your method of thinking is highly analytical: you’re able to differentiate between POCs, MVPs, Objectives, Key Results, and Initiatives;

**As a plus**
> It’s great if you have experience working in a Start-up, Product company or on a long-running large project, maybe even a B2B SaaS;
> We wouldn’t even doubt that you`re skilled in working with Slack, Confluence, Jira, and Invision, and it`d also be great if you`re following the trends and could educate the team on using tools & techniques that would boost our productivity;
> An amazing benefit would be if you have ever had experience in a client-facing role like sales, customer success, customer support or any other role at a Contact Center;
> Business or IT-related education is a neat bonus too: Business Administration, Economics, Management, Computer Science, etc.;
> Hey, and let us know if you`re familiar with any complex systems: Salesforce, ZenDesk, payment providers like Stripe, any 3d-party API integrations — that`d be super helpful too.

**We offer**
> A great and diverse team of friendly, highly motivated & vision-driven individuals: we`ve got a multi-disciplinary team over here in Lviv, as well as another team over in the US. You`ll be working alongside other BAs, Designers, Product Managers, Developers, QAs, Customer Success, Sales and Marketing folks;
> You will be able to learn, grow and ultimately make an impact on thousands of users by deciding the ‘how’ of implementing a feature or even a whole platform;
> Competitive compensation and accounting services;
> An extremely comfortable office located in Lviv center: great ergonomics, chairs, monitors, breakfasts, great coffee (trust us on this one), pizza-parties — it’s really that cool;
> Combined remote and office work possible as we have a flexible work schedule;
> Official Ukrainian holidays are non-working days;
> We do also have a health insurance policy.

**Responsibilities**
> Creating documentation: diagrams, user stories, and acceptance criteria, design documentation, user flows, wireframes and feature guides;
> Elicit, analyze, document, prioritize, validate, and manage changes to product requirements with senior management, the product, engineering, sales and customer success teams: from problem to solution, from non-functional to functional, from internal to customer-facing;
> Balance business requirements with value, technical feasibility, and sustainability;
> Identify and manage project risks to ensure quality and value;
> Participate in Plannings, Daily Stand-Ups, Demos, Retrospectives, and other Agile ceremonies;
> Guide the team through business analysis approaches and best-practices.
