Are you a strategic thinker who lives at the intersection of business logic and software innovation? We are looking for a Senior Functional Analyst to join a dynamic team of 20+ specialists in Ghent.
This isn't just about documenting requirements; it's about being the architect of solutions. You will be the vital link between high-level business demands and technical delivery, ensuring that the tools we build create immediate, tangible value for both our clients and the organization.
How You'll Make an Impact
* Translate Vision into Reality: Partner with Domain Architects and Product Owners to transform complex business processes into clear, functional components.
* Master the Backlog: Use techniques like User Story Mapping to break down large features into actionable stories, providing structure and a clear roadmap for development.
* Stay Ahead of the Curve: Work one sprint ahead of the development teams, ensuring they have a refined, detailed, and "ready-to-build" pipeline of work.
* Collaborate & Validate: Work within an agile ecosystem alongside UX designers, software engineers, and Scrum Masters. Once a feature is built, you'll lead the validation process through testing to ensure it meets your high standards.
* Drive Pragmatic Innovation: Balance your eye for detail with a practical mindset—avoiding "analysis paralysis" to deliver innovative solutions that actually work in the real world.
What are we looking for?
* The Analyst's Toolkit: You are an expert in identifying and documenting structures using
BPMN, UML, and Domain Modeling.
* Agile DNA: You have a deep-seated understanding of
Agile values and principles,
with hands-on experience in Jira and Scrum environments.
* Critical Thinking: You aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. You proactively ask "why" to ensure every requested feature adds genuine value.
* Professional Maturity: You can organize your work independently while maintaining a proactive, "hands-on" team-player attitude.
* Linguistic Versatility: You are fluent in
Dutch and English
. Proficiency in French is a significant plus.
Why This Role?
This is a long-term engagement (through 2026) that offers the stability of a major project with the fast-paced energy of an agile environment. You will be part of a large, supportive analysis community while working in small, focused project teams where your individual impact is visible and celebrated.
