• ⁠Experience translating business requirements into clear functional and technical specifications (user stories, process flows, data mappings, use cases)

• ⁠Ability to work closely and effectively with software development teams throughout the full project lifecycle

• ⁠Familiarity with software testing methodologies: test planning, test case design, SIT, UAT coordination, and defect management

• ⁠Strong ownership mindset - comfortable leading individual project workstreams and managing deliverables independently

• ⁠Fluent English, both written and verbal

• ⁠Experience working in Agile/Scrum or hybrid project delivery environments

• ⁠Exposure to data analysis tools (SQL, Excel, Power BI) for requirement validation and testing support

• ⁠Practical use of AI-assisted tools for documentation, requirement analysis, or test case generation

Main responsibilities:

• ⁠Gather, analyse, and document business and functional requirements in close collaboration with business stakeholders and subject matter experts

• ⁠Design functional solutions for FX applications, covering process flows, data models, and system behaviour specifications

• ⁠Translate business requirements into detailed functional and technical documentation consumable by the development team

• ⁠Act as the primary point of contact between business and technology for assigned project workstreams

• ⁠Lead and manage selected project workstreams - coordinating tasks, tracking progress, and escalating risks where needed

• ⁠Plan and execute functional testing activities, including preparation of test cases, execution of SIT and UAT, and management of defect resolution

• ⁠Participate in solution walkthroughs, sprint reviews, and stakeholder demonstrations

• ⁠Maintain clear and up-to-date project documentation throughout the delivery lifecycle
