Business Analyst / Product Owner

Jobs via Dice, Dallas, TX, United States


Role
Business Analyst / Product Owner

Location
Dallas, TX

Duration
Long Term

About The Role
We''re looking for a senior BA/PO who brings strong ownership and attention to detail, and who is comfortable picking up responsibilities beyond their defined scope when the project demands it. Business Analysis is the core of this role. QA involvement is as-needed, but UAT ownership and post-production support — through both Warranty and Post-Warranty periods.

What You''ll Do

Requirements Gathering: Work closely with stakeholders to elicit, analyze, and document business requirements — ensuring clarity for both business and development teams

Process Improvement: Analyze existing workflows, identify inefficiencies, and recommend solutions that improve productivity and delivery

Data Analysis: Use data to inform decisions and shape product features; leverage SQL to query, validate, and interpret data in support of requirements and UAT

Backlog Management: Own and prioritize the product backlog based on business value and stakeholder input; drive sprint planning and refinement

User Stories: Create and refine clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria for the development team

Stakeholder Communication & Engagement: Serve as the bridge between business and IT — facilitate alignment, gather feedback, validate ideas, and ensure the product meets user expectations

Agile Collaboration: Operate effectively in a Hybrid Agile environment — contributing to Scrum ceremonies while supporting the team with requirements insights and product direction

UAT Ownership: Plan, coordinate, and execute UAT end-to-end — drive stakeholder sign-off before go-live

Post-Production Support: Provide hands‑on support during Warranty and Post-Warranty periods — triage issues, validate fixes, and ensure business continuity

QA Support: Assist with test planning and defect management as needed throughout the project lifecycle

Proactively surface risks, gaps, and dependencies — and help resolve them before they become blockers

What We''re Looking For

8–12 years of BA and/or Product Owner experience in Hybrid Agile environments

Strong documentation skills — BRDs, FRDs, user stories, and test cases

Proven UAT ownership — planning, execution, stakeholder coordination, and sign-off

Experience providing post-production support through Warranty and Post-Warranty phases

QA exposure (test authoring, defect tracking) is a plus — not a primary requirement

Excellent communication — clear with both business and technical audiences

Proficiency with Azure DevOps, JIRA, Confluence or similar tools

Working knowledge of SQL — ability to query, validate, and interpret data to support requirements and UAT

Comfort working with data elements — data mapping, data dictionaries, and basic data flow analysis

Hands‑on experience leveraging AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to accelerate BA workflows — requirements drafting, process documentation, or analysis

CBAP, PMI-PBA, or CSPO certification is a plus

You''ll Thrive Here If You Are

Proactive — you anticipate needs and act without waiting to be asked

Detail-oriented — nothing slips through in your requirements or test cases

Deadline-driven — you thrive under pressure, manage your time effectively, and consistently deliver on time without compromising quality

Adaptable — you shift between BA and QA modes as the project needs

Accountable — you own your work end-to-end and go beyond the role when needed
