Beschrijving
Are you a functional analyst who thinks in user stories and in AI capabilities? Can you bridge the gap between stakeholders, developers and the rapidly evolving world of AI-assisted software development? Our Digital & Information Office (DIO) is the strategic IT backbone of the Cegeka organisation. We build and operate complex internal platforms — including our React/Python-based Horizon portal — and we are now accelerating how we integrate AI into both our products and our engineering workflow. We are looking for a sharp, technically minded Functional Analyst who can drive this shift. You operate at the intersection of business analysis, AI implementation and modern software delivery. You are both a translator — turning business needs into functional specs — and an active participant in how AI reshapes our development practices.
You analyze business needs and translate them into clear, testable functional requirements
You write and refine user stories, acceptance criteria and functional specifications
You manage and maintain the product backlog together with product owners and team leads
You facilitate demos, reviews and validation sessions with internal stakeholders
You act as the main point of contact between business, development, and architecture teams
You collaborate with distributed development teams across Belgium, Romania, and Moldova
You monitor project scope and ensure continuous alignment with business objectives
You identify and evaluate opportunities to embed AI features into our internal platforms (e.g. intelligent search, automated workflows, AI-assisted reporting)
You translate AI capabilities into concrete user stories and functional specs that development teams can act on
You collaborate with architects and developers to assess feasibility, data requirements and model integration patterns
You define acceptance criteria and testing scenarios specific to AI-driven features (output quality, edge cases, fallback behaviour)
You stay current on AI tooling, LLM capabilities, and platform integrations relevant to our product landscape
You champion and roll out AI-assisted tools within the team (e.g. GitHub Copilot, AI-based test generation, automated documentation)
You identify bottlenecks in our SDLC where AI tooling can reduce lead time or improve quality
You work with team leads to measure the impact of AI adoption on delivery metrics and team productivity
You help define standards and guidelines for responsible AI use in our development workflow
You participate in release planning and understand release management concepts (branching strategies, version control, environment management)
You engage meaningfully in CI/CD pipeline discussions — understand build, test and deployment stages well enough to spot scope and quality risks
You participate in or facilitate code review processes from a functional correctness and requirement-alignment perspective
You understand API design, data flows and system integration patterns at a conceptual level
You contribute to quality gates and definition-of-done criteria that reflect both functional and technical standards.

Vaardigheden
You have minimum 3-5 years as a functional analyst in custom software development projects
You have strong hands-on knowledge of Scrum: user story writing, backlog refinement, sprint ceremonies and stakeholder demos
You have demonstrable experience working with or implementing AI features in software products — LLMs, AI APIs, or AI-assisted tooling
You have used AI productivity tools in a professional context (e.g. Copilot, ChatGPT, automated testing, AI documentation)
You have a solid conceptual understanding of release management, CI/CD pipelines, code review practices and SDLC stages
You have experience with functional testing, UAT and writing acceptance criteria — including for non-deterministic AI features
You have strong communication and facilitation skills; you are able to align business, technical and AI-strategy stakeholders
You are fluent in English. Knowledge of Dutch is a strong plus given our Belgian context
Experience with IT service management processes and frameworks and exposure to cloud platforms (Azure), microservices or event-driven architectures are a plus
You preferably work two days per week from our office in Hasselt (Corda), combined with working from home.
