About the role:
This person will own the requirements and delivery process end-to-end -- from gathering business needs and translating them into precise technical specifications, to tracking development progress, facilitating testing, and verifying that delivered software meets real-world acceptance criteria.
This is not a passive coordination role. The right candidate has enough of a technical background (MIS degree, IT project experience, or equivalent) to hold credible conversations with developers about architecture decisions, API integrations, data flows, and system behavior -- without necessarily writing the code themselves. They can read a pull request, understand a database schema, evaluate a technical proposal, and recognize when something does not add up. They are equally comfortable in a room with a VP discussing business priorities and in a Zoom call with a developer working through a technical edge case.
Key Activities:
Requirements and Technical Documentation
- Lead discovery sessions with business stakeholders to elicit requirements; translate them into clear, developer-ready specifications including user stories, acceptance criteria, data flow diagrams, and wireframes
- Document system integrations, API contracts, field mappings, and business logic in enough detail that contractors can build without ambiguity
- Maintain a living library of technical documentation -- architecture overviews, data dictionaries, integration specs, workflow diagrams -- that reflects the current state of all systems
- Own the backlog: intake requests, decompose epics into stories, estimate relative complexity, and prioritize with business and technical input
- Identify and surface technical dependencies, integration risks, and edge cases before development begins -- not after
Vendor and Contractor Management
- Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for external development contractors
- Run project kick-offs, sprint reviews, demos, and technical alignment sessions with vendors
- Review and challenge contractor estimates, scope definitions, and proposed technical approaches
- Ensure contractors begin each sprint with complete specs, clear acceptance criteria, and any required access or test data
- Hold contractors accountable to committed timelines and quality standards; escalate issues early with recommended paths forward
IT Project Management
- Own project plans, milestone schedules, and status reporting across multiple concurrent IT initiatives
- Run structured stand-ups, sprint planning sessions, and retrospectives as appropriate to the team's working style
- Proactively surface risks, blockers, and scope creep; bring solutions alongside problems
- Maintain a single source of truth for project status and communicate it clearly to leadership -- no surprises
- Coordinate dependencies across internal teams (operations, marketing, finance) and external partners
- Manage change requests with discipline: document impact, get sign-off, update specs and timelines accordingly
Quality Assurance and Testing
- Develop test plans and test cases grounded in documented acceptance criteria and real business scenarios
- Coordinate and facilitate UAT (user acceptance testing) with business stakeholders; translate feedback into clear bug reports
- Validate technical work against specs before signoff -- including testing API integrations, data imports/exports, workflow logic, and UI behavior
- Log, triage, and track defects to resolution; confirm fixes before closing tickets
- Define and enforce definition of done in partnership with contractors
Systems Thinking and Process Improvement
- Develop a working understanding of BOA's full technology stack: how data flows between Shopify, NetSuite, Cloudflare-hosted services, and internal tools
- Identify friction points in existing workflows and propose technically sound, pragmatic improvements
- Document SOPs for new systems, integrations, and processes so institutional knowledge does not walk out the door
- Contribute to a technical knowledge base that reduces onboarding time and enables better contractor briefings
Required Skills & Experience:
- Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems (MIS), Computer Information Systems (CIS), Business Administration with an IT concentration, or equivalent technical experience
- 3+ years of experience in a Technical Business Analyst, IT Project Manager, or hybrid BA/PM role focused on software and systems projects
- Demonstrated experience working with third-party software vendors or development contractors on IT projects
- Ability to read and interpret technical artifacts: database schemas, API documentation, system architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, and basic code-level logic (no coding required, but must be able to follow along)
- Strong technical writing skills -- able to produce requirements documents, integration specs, and functional designs that developers can act on without back-and-forth
- Proficiency with project management tools (e.g. Monday.com, Jira, Asana, or similar)
- Experience facilitating technical and cross-functional meetings with developers, architects, and business stakeholders
- Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), Agile/Scrum methodology, and sprint-based delivery
- Familiarity with REST APIs, system integrations, and data exchange concepts (JSON, CSV imports/exports, webhooks)
- High attention to detail -- catches inconsistencies in specs, test results, and deliverables
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with Shopify (product data, Metafields, theme/app ecosystem) and/or NetSuite ERP (workflows, custom fields, SuiteQL)
- Experience managing e-commerce or retail/wholesale technology projects
- Background in QA or systems testing -- writing test cases, managing defect logs, coordinating UAT
- Exposure to cloud platforms such as Cloudflare Workers/Pages, AWS, or Azure
- Understanding of ETL pipelines, data sync processes, or product information management (PIM) systems
- Experience with Git/GitHub -- reviewing pull requests, understanding branching and deployment workflows
- PMP, PMI-ACP, CBAP, or equivalent project management/BA certification
- Experience working in a lean, fast-moving environment where requirements evolve and multiple projects run in parallel
