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.
