Job Description

WHO WE ARE Founded in 1999, Equus has continually been recognized by Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. We continue to expand with offices in Denver, Dallas, Lisbon, London and Manila. Our relentless focus on creating innovative global mobility solutions has helped us become the market leader in our industry.

With over 300 clients around the world, we are committed to delivering the right solutions to our clients problems. And we do this every day.

Our award-winning cloud-based technology has been recognized year-over-year for end-to-end functionality, efficiency savings and connected ecosystem. But we are more than just a technology company. We are experts in helping our clients get the right talent, in the right place, fast.

Every two months we release significant new features within our award winning software product, AssignmentPro (APro). This work is powered by our Agile development teams. As a Business Analyst, you are part of a team of BAs that discovers, defines and refines the backlog that fuels this development process.

WHAT YOU DO

You will own multiple features from the high-level idea phase all the way through development and release, clarifying with stakeholders, answering development team questions and signing off on their work. You will regularly interface with Equus subject matter experts, designers, developers, client support staff, and clients themselves often times leading, driving and focusing the conversations. This is very much like a Product Owner role for an epic or feature, where you are confirming direction and decisions with the Product Manager, and every release, you may work on different parts of the application.

• Become proficient in the application, tools and deliverables needed within our products, including developing ad-hoc reports, creating and presenting prototypes, and configuring templates and product behavior.
• Collect and organize product metrics to make data-driven decisions.
• Document and demonstrate your features for technical and non-technical users on both the Equus and client sides.
• Support Equus account managers and clients in understanding application features.
