Job description

Our platform development team is building a cloud-based clinical platform to support VR therapy in the US, Europe and Asia. We are looking for an experienced Business Analyst to help us accelerate product development.

Reporting to the Head of Platform Development, you will be responsible for keeping product development aligned with clinical requirements and business objectives. You will work closely with customers and stakeholders to understand and capture business requirements and feed them as user stories into the development process.

As an early-stage member of the team your contribution will be strategic and significant.

Tasks include, but are not limited to;

Work alongside the product management and development teams to deliver the overall product roadmap

• Work with customers and other stakeholders to discover, validate and refine business requirements through interviews, workshops and user testing

Qualifications: 

We’d like to know what you think qualifies you for this role. We don’t necessarily need a piece of paper – what we really value is common sense – and so far, we haven’t seen a course for that!
