Senior Business Analyst

Motion Recruitment, New York, NY, United States


Business Analyst (IT / SDLC) - Contract | Hybrid (3/2) Our client is seeking a

Business Analyst

to support a high-profile

development initiative

within a fast-paced IT environment. This is a

6-month contract

opportunity in a hybrid setting (3 days onsite / 2 remote). The environment operates within Agile delivery practices and is built on a

Microsoft technology stack (.NET, SQL Server) , with a strong focus on improving requirements quality and SDLC execution.

This role addresses a critical gap in

requirements definition and translation between business and technical teams , directly impacting delivery efficiency and outcomes. Why This Opportunity Stands Out This is a high-impact role where the right person will immediately influence how work gets delivered. The team is currently experiencing friction due to unclear or incomplete requirements and needs a

true Business Analyst

who can bring structure, clarity, and consistency.

The consultant will be working on a

time-sensitive, high-visibility initiative , partnering closely with PMO leadership, and helping formalize the requirements process. This is an opportunity to

own the BA function , reduce miscommunication, and drive more effective execution across teams.
