Business Analyst

• This mandate aims to replace a Business Analyst who also had a proxy Product Owner (PO) component on GMCEP, a cross-functional GPAP modernization project currently in the implementation phase.
  


• The ideal candidate is a Business Analyst comfortable in a cross-functional delivery environment, capable of assuming the tasks of a Product Owner (backlog management and prioritization, writing user stories) without formal accountability.

• Profiles to be excluded include project managers without analytical experience, BAs limited to discovery, and junior profiles unable to cover a broad range of responsibilities.
