Job description
This position may be offered to a candidate authorized to work in the US for his/her/their stated employer, without any restrictions which would prevent the candidate from working on the proposed assignment for the duration of the assignment period.
The Managers can set up times for as early as the following day, so please let me know the earliest your folks can interview. I will be sending off the MS Teams details for you once confirmed.
*Multi-year project. Updates:
*They want to make sure they get someone who will be successful in the environment with releases running parallel, larger/ concurrent projects and challenging timelines. Please include some examples of related size, scope, complexity, etc so I can get an idea of experience.
*Focusing more on the Sr business analyst type profile. They'll be doing tons of documentation, research (sorting through thousands of documents), elicitation, lots of hands-on/ on the ground work, creating user stories themselves. So someone too high level, project managing, fully on the business side (some business is fine), etc is not going to work out.
