at IIX Global

🏢 About IIX Global

IIX Global is a pioneering impact enterprise that uses innovative financial instruments to drive investment for gender equality, climate action, and resilient communities, with a mission to impact 100 million lives by 2025. Working here means contributing to meaningful change in South and Southeast Asia through platforms like IIX Values and IIX Intelligence, which provide ESG reporting and impact verification tools.

About This Role

As a Business Systems Analyst, you will act as the critical bridge between product owners and the technology team, translating business needs into clear technical specifications for IIX’s impact platforms. This role is high-impact because it directly ensures that platform development aligns with strategic goals, reducing ambiguity and keeping projects on track to drive measurable social and environmental change.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with the remote tech team to discuss progress on current development sprints. Then, you’d meet with a product owner to clarify a new feature request, followed by drafting a detailed business requirements document. In the afternoon, you might review user stories with developers to ensure alignment, and end the day by prioritizing the requirements pipeline with the Technology Manager.
