at The Cadmus Group

🏢 About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group is a purpose-driven consulting firm that has been pioneering sustainable change since 1995, blending innovative policy with strategic stakeholder engagement. Working here means contributing to meaningful projects that shape a more sustainable future, while collaborating with experts in a mission-focused environment.

About This Role

As an Intermediate Telecom Business Analyst, you will bridge the gap between telecom operations and technology, transforming manual processes into automated, digitized systems. Your work will directly impact operational efficiency and scalability across wireline and wireless telecom operations, driving innovation in a critical industry.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a daily stand-up for multiple Agile teams, followed by a stakeholder workshop to map out wireline operation pain points. After lunch, you’d refine the product backlog, prioritize features for the next PI planning, and document process flows using AI-assisted tools, ending with a review of automation opportunities with the tech team.

🎯 Who The Cadmus Group Is Looking For

  • A seasoned BA with 5-7 years of experience, specifically in telecom or similar regulated industries, who can navigate complex operational workflows.
  • An Agile expert comfortable with Scaled Agile (SAFe) and managing backlogs across multiple development teams, ensuring alignment and delivery.
  • A tech-savvy professional proficient in AI and automation tools for process mapping and optimization, not just traditional BA methods.
  • A strong communicator and facilitator who can translate business needs into technical requirements and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.

2

Showcase your Agile/SAFe expertise by mentioning specific roles (e.g., Product Owner, Scrum Master) and tools (Jira, Confluence) in your experience.

3

Provide concrete examples of how you’ve used AI or automation to optimize processes, such as robotic process automation (RPA) or machine learning models.

4

Emphasize your stakeholder facilitation skills with examples of leading workshops or managing cross-team collaboration.
