How to Apply for Junior Telecom Business Analyst

at The Cadmus Group

🏢 About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group has been a leader in pioneering sustainable change since 1995, combining innovative policy with strategic stakeholder engagement. Their focus on sustainability and transformation makes them a mission-driven employer where your work directly contributes to positive environmental and social impact.

About This Role

As a Junior Telecom Business Analyst, you will bridge the gap between Program Management Office (PMO) and Field Maintenance Operations (FMO) by creating detailed process documentation. You'll facilitate collaboration to identify pain points and translate business needs into scalable system transformations, while managing product backlogs and supporting Agile PI planning across multiple teams.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with the Agile team to discuss progress on backlog items, followed by a workshop with PMO and FMO stakeholders to map out current processes and identify pain points. Afternoon could involve documenting those processes in Visio and updating Confluence, then prioritizing features for the next PI planning session.
