[Hiring] Junior Business Analyst @JTA The Data Scientists

Role Description

We are looking for a Junior Business Analyst (Early Career) to support the discovery, definition, and validation of business and data requirements across data and analytics projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. This role is ideal for candidates with 0–2 years of experience, including recent graduates or those finishing their degree, with full-time availability.

What You Will Be Doing

• Learn our ways of working and how we deliver data & analytics projects end-to-end, with guidance from senior team members.
• Gather and clarify requirements with clients and internal stakeholders, then translate them into execution-ready inputs for the delivery team (scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and validation approach).
• Take ownership of business/data topics for a well-scoped domain or data source, becoming the go-to person for definitions, logic, and context.
• Provide data-driven insights and rigorous analysis to help stakeholders understand performance, trends, and opportunities, strengthening the reliability and impact of deliverables.
• Use SQL to explore data, validate assumptions, trace metrics back to source, and produce evidence to support requirements and delivery (joins, aggregations, filters, extracts).
• Use Power BI to explore, analyze, and visualize data, supporting the validation of metrics, business logic, and project deliverables.
• Support PMs in creating and refining Kanban cards and ensuring backlog readiness for development.
• Take ownership of specific project tasks or well-scoped workstreams, coordinating inputs, following up on actions and dependencies, and helping ensure delivery stays on track.
• Progressively take on PM-like responsibilities within assigned workstreams, including task coordination, follow-up, stakeholder communication, and delivery tracking, with mentoring from experienced PMs.
• Join meetings as needed to unblock requirements and validate business logic; capture decisions/actions and update acceptance criteria accordingly.
• Validate deliverables against requirements, acceptance criteria, and business expectations.
• Help define data quality guardrails (expected ranges/tolerances and “red flag” conditions).

Qualifications

• Early-career profile: 0-2 year experience, recent graduate or final-year student (thesis stage) with full-time availability.
• Background in Engineering, Management, Finance, or similar.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
• SQL skills: able to write queries for exploration/validation (joins, aggregations, filters) and communicate findings clearly.
• Client-facing mindset: able to engage stakeholders, ask the right questions, clarify requirements, and align expectations.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills; detail-oriented and well-organized.
• Comfortable working with extensive documentation and translating it into clear delivery inputs.
• Team player, able to work in a fast-paced environment.

Benefits

• Fully remote or hybrid work model (you decide!).
• Salary Range: 17.000€ - 21.000€ gross/annually.
• Meal allowance: €10.46 per working day (via card).
• 15th-month bonus salary policy.
• 4 extra vacation days.
• Company Shares Incentive Plan (RSUs).
