Business Analyst

Department: Product
Location: Dublin, Ireland (Hybrid) - 3 days in office
Employment Type: Full-Time
Experience: Mid-Senior
Reports to: Director, Product Management

RapidRatings is a financial technology company on a mission to make the global economy more transparent and resilient. We provide quantitative financial health intelligence that helps enterprises understand the true condition of their suppliers and business partners - enabling smarter risk decisions across complex, global supply chains.

We are seeking a Business Analyst to sit at the intersection of product and engineering - translating product requirements into actionable delivery. This is a hands-on role for a practitioner who is equally comfortable shaping a PRD with a PM and running a backlog grooming session with a scrum team.

Key Responsibilities

PRD Collaboration
Partner with Product Managers to develop and refine Product Requirements Documents - contributing the analytical depth and functional detail that bridges strategic intent with engineering-ready specification. Own the quality and completeness of requirements before they reach the team.

User Story Authorship
Translate PRD requirements into well-structured user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge case documentation. Ensure that what engineering builds matches what the product team intended - with nothing lost in translation.

Product Owner Responsibilities
Act as the Product Owner on assigned scrum teams — managing and prioritising the backlog, participating in sprint ceremonies, answering day-to-day clarifying questions from engineering, and making real-time scope decisions within the boundaries set by the PM.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with engineers, QA, designers, and operations to ensure shared understanding of requirements. Identify gaps, surface ambiguities early, and resolve blockers that would otherwise slow delivery.

Delivery Quality
Own the integrity of the what-to-how translation. Requirements that reach engineering should be clear, complete, and testable — not a starting point for further interpretation.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years in a Business Analyst or Product Owner role within an agile software development environment
• Proven experience bridging the BA-to-PO function - you've written the stories and run the ceremonies
• Strong requirements documentation skills - user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and edge case analysis
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment with competing priorities
• Analytical mindset -you ask the right questions before writing a single requirement
• Clear, precise communicator across technical and non-technical audiences
• Familiarity with B2B SaaS products; fintech or data-intensive platforms a plus
• Experience with agile tooling - Jira, Confluence, or equivalent

Who You Are

You know what good requirements look like because you've seen what happens when they're bad. You're the person engineers come to when something doesn't make sense - and you have an answer. You're as comfortable in a product strategy conversation as you are in a sprint review, and you take pride in the quality of what lands in front of the team.
