SUMMARY
The Business Systems Team plays a pivotal role in fueling Wiz’s growth by strategically partnering with our business teams to maximize our technology investments. As we experience rapid expansion, our mission is to ensure our core business functions are equipped for success at each stage of their journey. We adopt both a holistic perspective and a detailed approach to collaboratively solve challenges, ultimately driving employee effectiveness and revenue generation.
As the Manager, Business Systems Analysts, you will lead and mentor a team of Business Analysts who collaborate with GTM, Product, Finance, Legal, and HR functions to translate business needs into effective technical solutions. You will be accountable for the end-to-end business systems project lifecycle, including managing project intake, eliciting and documenting comprehensive requirements, and performing some project/program management within a Kanban framework. You will also be responsible for fostering strong partnerships across business and technical teams to align on optimal technical solutions and for overseeing the creation and execution of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in adherence to Business Systems processes.
The ideal candidate will possess extensive Business Analysis expertise across a diverse range of tools and business processes. While deep knowledge of the Salesforce ecosystem is central to this role, a strong foundational understanding of broader business processes and supporting technologies (such as NetSuite, Pigment, Planhat, Marketo, Workday, Ironclad) will be critical for scaling the function effectively. This leadership position demands a proactive individual with a hands-on approach to tackling challenges. The successful leader will excel at establishing clear processes to address ambiguity, demonstrate strong critical thinking capabilities, and possess exceptional organizational and planning skills.

- Guarantee the timely completion and clear communication of project status updates to all relevant business stakeholders.
- Drive continuous prioritization of downstream Jira work based on evolving business needs, changes in team capacity, or unforeseen technical debt within a Kanban delivery model.
- Rigorously Validate the completeness and quality of Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), ensuring they meet all essential criteria before the creation of user stories.
- Collaborate closely with technical teams during the execution planning phase to develop detailed user stories and acceptance criteria that align with our shared definition of ready.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for business stakeholders, proactively embedding yourself within business functions to gain a deep understanding of their technical needs and anticipate future requirements.
- Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of implemented Business Systems solutions, proactively identifying opportunities for ongoing improvement. Stay abreast of a broad spectrum of industry best practices to recommend enhancements that drive operational efficiency and foster innovation.

- Extensive experience in business analysis, comprehensive requirements gathering, and detailed process mapping within a Business Systems ecosystem, with a primary focus on Salesforce and a strong understanding of upstream and downstream business process dependencies.

- Essential proficiency with project management tools, particularly Jira.

- Exceptional communication (both written and verbal) and interpersonal skills, with a well-established track record of effectively engaging with and managing expectations across a diverse range of stakeholders at all levels.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, coupled with a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
