๐Ÿข About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group has been a leader in sustainable change since 1995, combining innovative policy with strategic stakeholder engagement. Working here means contributing to meaningful environmental and social impact while collaborating with top experts in the field.

About This Role

As an Intermediate Telecom Business Analyst, you'll bridge the gap between business needs and technical solutions, focusing on automating and digitizing processes. Your work will directly enhance operational efficiency and scalability across multiple development teams.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with your development team, followed by refining user stories in Jira. You'll then meet with business stakeholders to gather requirements for a new automation initiative, and later collaborate with the PMO to map out process flows. Afternoons often involve supporting PI planning sessions or documenting workflows in Confluence.

๐ŸŽฏ Who The Cadmus Group Is Looking For

  • A BA/BS graduate with 5-7 years of BA experience, ideally in telecom or similar regulated industries.
  • Deeply familiar with SDLC and Scaled Agile (SAFe) delivery, able to manage backlogs and support PI planning.
  • Proficient in AI and automation tools, with a track record of optimizing processes through technology.
  • Skilled in collaboration tools like Teams, SharePoint, and Confluence, with strong communication to align stakeholders.

3

Research The Cadmus Group's sustainability initiatives and connect your BA skills to their mission of driving sustainable change.

4

Quantify achievements in previous BA roles, e.g., 'Reduced process time by 30% through automation.'

5

Showcase experience with Scaled Agile (SAFe) by mentioning specific ceremonies you've led, like PI planning or backlog refinement.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
