## Description

Our business analysts / solution architects don't just ask what a client wants. They ask "what if we did it this way?" They're big-picture thinkers. Strategic problem-solvers. Savvy team players with a passion for the process of software design and development. And we're looking for a standout candidate to join them.
As a senior business analyst with The Mx Group, you'll serve as the primary point of contact for our clients and help them shape and plan digital projects. You will work closely with senior members of clients' leadership teams, learn from them about their business and the challenges they face, and collaborate with them to design new processes and tools to overcome those challenges. You'll manage the development of brand-new applications as well as updates to existing systems. You'll oversee the full lifecycle of development projects, keeping them on-scope and on-budget. Working with an experienced, enthusiastic team of software developers and analysts, you'll produce applications our diverse client base - and their customers - can't do without.
Note: At The Mx Group, we call this role "business analyst," but we're looking for people with the right characteristics - not necessarily the same title. Whether you call yourself a BA, a project manager, a product owner, a product manager or something else, we want to talk to you!
