What you will do as our PLM business analyst:

As PLM business analyst you will support Product Owners and the Engagement Manager by documenting current (As-Is) and future (To-Be) workflows using simple, intuitive process mapping techniques. You would also:

• Collaborate with Product Owners to refine user stories, ensuring they align with the product strategy and follow the ‘INVEST’ principles (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable).

• 4 - 5 years of experience as a Business Analyst or a similar role within a manufacturing company, ideally working with engineers in R&D or manufacturing environments.
• Practical knowledge of SAFe’s Design Thinking and Gemba Walks principles.
• Proficient in verbal and written English.
• Experience working on multicultural projects, particularly remotely across different time zones and cultures.
