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.

• 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
