Junior Business Analyst

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Junior Business Analyst (Early Career) to support the discovery, definition, and validation of business and data requirements across data and analytics projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. This role is ideal for candidates with 0–2 years of experience, including recent graduates or those finishing their degree, with full-time availability.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING (First 12 Months — with mentoring)

• Learn our ways of working and how we deliver data & analytics projects end-to-end, with guidance from senior team members
• Gather and clarify requirements with clients and internal stakeholders, then translate them into execution-ready inputs for the delivery team (scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and validation approach).
• Take ownership of business/data topics for a well-scoped domain or data source, becoming the go-to person for definitions, logic, and context
• Provide data-driven insights and rigorous analysis to help stakeholders understand performance, trends, and opportunities, strengthening the reliability and impact of deliverables
• Use SQL to explore data, validate assumptions, trace metrics back to source, and produce evidence to support requirements and delivery (joins, aggregations, filters, extracts)
• Support PMs in creating and refining Kanban cards and ensuring backlog readiness for development
• Join meetings as needed to unblock requirements and validate business logic; capture decisions/actions and update acceptance criteria accordingly
• Validate deliverables
• Help define data quality guardrails (expected ranges/tolerances and “red flag” conditions).
• Contribute to ML dataset definition and validation by shaping datasets to reflect intended business logic (labels, filters, caveats, edge cases) and supporting with SQL outputs
• Create and maintain documentation: Business Knowledge Handbook, definitions, mappings, lineage references, user guidance, and training materials
