[Hiring] Business Analyst @Compass Group

Role Description

We empower our product teams to solve hard problems in ways that our operators love and that work for our business. We are looking for a Business Analyst to support the food intelligence and menu strategy for MenuWorks, Compass Group’s enterprise menu management and culinary planning platform.

The MenuWorks Business Analyst serves as the primary business analyst for one or more product initiatives, assisting in discovery activities, defining functional solutions, and partnering with Product Managers to deliver valuable customer outcomes.

• Define business rules, workflows, success metrics, data requirements, and release readiness criteria.
• Partner with Product Managers by providing process, customer, operational, and data insights that inform backlog prioritization.
• Perform data analysis to validate assumptions, identify trends, measure product success, and support continuous improvement.
• Establish and support data stewardship practices, including documenting business data definitions, validating data quality and reporting consistency, and partnering with data owners to resolve gaps or inconsistencies.
• Plan and facilitate business User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including identifying stakeholder participants, developing test scenarios and documentation, coordinating testing activities, tracking findings, and supporting business sign-off and release readiness.
• Support roadmap planning through research, competitive analysis, and operational insights that inform Product Manager strategy and prioritization.
• Support customer demonstrations, training sessions, and product rollout activities.
• Participate in release, iteration, and other agile-related activities.
