• Lead requirement elicitation workshops and translate business needs into epics, features, user stories, and clear acceptance criteria.
• Build a continuous pipeline of development-ready work and facilitate backlog refinement aligned with the Definition of Ready.
• Analyze business processes and create process flows, use cases, business rules, impact assessments, and traceability records.
• Identify dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and risks, and communicate them clearly to stakeholders.
• Support release planning, test-scenario definition, business validation, defect triage, and root-cause analysis.
• Provide data-driven recommendations that improve requirement quality, product quality, stakeholder alignment, and release predictability.
• Prepare key deliverables, including requirement documents, dependency logs, traceability matrices, release-readiness reports, and stakeholder communication plans.
• Track outcomes such as backlog readiness, requirement-related defects, clarification requests, rework, predictability, and stakeholder satisfaction.
• Ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
• Live Hitachi Energy’s core values of safety and integrity by taking responsibility for your actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of business analysis experience in Agile delivery environments.
• Strong stakeholder management, facilitation, analytical, and communication skills.
• Proven experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and requirement documentation.

• Ability to use Azure DevOps, Jira, Confluence, Miro, Visio, Lucidchart, Microsoft Office, Power BI, and collaboration platforms.
