THE ROLE

No two days are the same as a Form3 Business Analyst. You'll get to work closely with our Software Engineers, Operations Analysts, and financial services customers on a wide range of dynamic and challenging projects.

You'll be involved in the full scope of product lifecycle: from writing requirements to defining new strategies; from planning capacity to discussing field definitions; and from drawing out flows to serving as product expertise for internal and external stakeholders. Vitally, you’ll need to be a keen learner, and animated about developing your knowledge on the job.

Sometimes you'll work on projects as a group and other times you’ll be flying solo. We’ll always give you the freedom to decide how you want to define and deliver your role.

Key responsibilities

• Be involved in the full product life cycle from leading on the functional design requirements to testing & support of non-build activities to prepare for the launch of new feature releases
• Working with the engineering teams and wider stakeholders to find innovative solutions to complex problems
• You'll be responsible for working with the Senior Product Manager to define the features, user cases, flows, and produce product artifacts.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Our Product team continues to grow at pace, and we are looking for an ambitious and versatile Business Analyst who has an enthusiasm for technology and can bring their experience to contribute to our portfolio of greenfield products.

• 5+ years as a Business Analyst or a similar role working across the product and development lifecycle
• A background working closely with engineering teams on technical products
• Stakeholder management and the ability to build relationships in remote cross-functional teams
• You have technical focus and API experience
• An understanding of software development best practices, such as CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code and TDD (Test-Driven Development)
• A proven track record of creating functional and non-functional requirements and designing top quality specification documents
• You boast a solid foundation of International payments knowledge – this means an understanding of payments systems, financial network infrastructure and back-offices services. You'll understand the flow E2E and have an enthusiasm for knowing all the variables of the payment journey.
• Ideally, you also have experience working to ISO 20022 specifications
• You’ve built workflow automation flows, and automated or improved BA and testing processes

At Form3, we really don’t believe in one size fits all. We want a dynamic, kinetic individual who can bring their own flair and experience to shape our ever-evolving Product Team.
