The Opportunity
Cordova is seeking a versatile, cross-functional Business Analyst to join a high-performing Agile development team. This role is the vital link between high-level business strategy and technical execution. You will spend your days collaborating with Product Owners, SMEs, and business units to capture, refine, and translate complex needs into actionable user stories.
This is an ideal role for an analyst who enjoys "owning" the requirements lifecycle—from identifying process improvements to collaborating with QA on detailed test cases. We are looking for a proactive problem-solver who can navigate moderately complex issues with independent judgment and a high degree of accuracy.
