🏢 About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group has been pioneering sustainable change since 1995, combining innovative policy with strategic stakeholder engagement. They focus on mission-driven work that impacts communities and the environment, offering a collaborative culture where your contributions directly influence positive outcomes.

About This Role

As an Intermediate Telecom Business Analyst, you'll bridge business needs and system capabilities, transforming telecom operations through automation and digitization. Your work on PMO to FMO process flows and backlog management will drive efficiency and cost reduction in critical infrastructure projects.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve facilitating a stakeholder workshop to map current telecom processes, then documenting Epics in Jira with acceptance criteria. You’d also review automated workflow prototypes with developers and update the product backlog based on sprint priorities.

🎯 Who The Cadmus Group Is Looking For

  • Has 5-7 years of BA experience, preferably in telecom or government contracting, with a strong grasp of SDLC and Scaled Agile.
  • Proven ability to create development-ready Epics/Features with acceptance criteria across multiple teams.
  • Expert in leveraging AI and automation tools for process mapping and optimization, not just theoretical knowledge.
  • Skilled at facilitating stakeholder workshops to identify pain points and translate them into actionable system requirements.

📝 Tips for Applying to The Cadmus Group

1

Highlight specific examples of creating Epics/Features with acceptance criteria in Scaled Agile environments.

2

Showcase your experience with AI/automation in process mapping—mention tools like UiPath or Celonis if used.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize telecom or utility sector projects, especially those involving PMO to FMO transitions.

4

In your cover letter, connect your work to Cadmus’s mission of sustainable change, e.g., improving telecom efficiency reduces waste.

5

Use metrics: e.g., 'Reduced processing time by 30% through automated workflows' to demonstrate impact.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Emphasize your experience with Scaled Agile and backlog management across multiple teams.', 'Detail a specific project where you used AI/automation to optimize business processes.', 'Explain your ability to act as a bridge between business and technical teams, minimizing complexity and cost.', 'Align your values with Cadmus’s commitment to sustainable, innovative solutions.']

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t submit a generic BA resume; omit telecom or AI/automation experience if missing, but don’t fabricate.
  • Avoid vague process improvement claims; always back them with specific tools and metrics.
  • Don’t overlook the Scaled Agile requirement—failing to mention SAFe or relevant certifications can hurt.
