  • Proficiency in business analysis tools and techniques, such as process modeling, data analysis, and requirement elicitation.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities and tight deadlines.
  • Certification in Business Analysis (e.g., CBAP, PMI-PBA) is a plus.
  • Experience in specific industries or domains (e.g., finance, healthcare, e-commerce) may be beneficial, but not required.
