In addition, company funded team meetups occur at least twice a year giving every employee the opportunity to meet their colleagues in person, along with a company wide annual off-site.

About the role

The Technical Business Analyst role sits within our Production Operations function.

• Communicate directly with clients to extract details and provide updates to the client.
• Build a deep understanding of our product, system and its data flows in order to help our clients effectively use our product.
• Suggest improvements in internal tooling and processes, as a key enabler to improving internal efficiencies across the entire Production Operations team.

• Interpret code and configuration when investigating issues.
