Data & Analytics Project Manager / Business Analyst (PM/BA)

The client is a vertically integrated consumer products manufacturer operating across e-commerce, B2B sales, manufacturing, supply chain, and procurement. The Data & Analytics Project Manager / Business Analyst will organize and advance the BI team’s work by running Agile ceremonies, managing intake and tickets, gathering requirements, assessing feasibility, coordinating dependencies, and communicating with stakeholders.

Responsibilities:

• Run the team’s Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retros) and adjust them as needed. For example, replace a standup with an email, Slack or Teams update when the team needs the time back
• Own the intake process: monitor incoming requests, triage and track tickets, and help prioritize the backlog with the BI leader
• Work with departments across the business (e-commerce, sales, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, finance and others) to gather and document requirements
• Do a first assessment of feasibility: check whether the data exists, whether the request is already covered, or whether it needs more discussion before the team commits
• Write and send regular project updates to stakeholders and leadership
• Follow up on dependencies and open items with internal teams and third parties so nothing stalls
• Shield the team from ad hoc “drive-by” requests so they can stay focused on current priorities
• Manage shifting priorities and deadlines. When executive requests take precedence, reset expectations with affected stakeholders tactfully and communicate revised timelines
• Keep the team organized between cycles so the next sprint or phase starts with a clear plan

Requirements:

• Experience as a Project Manager, Business Analyst or hybrid PM/BA, ideally supporting data, BI or analytics teams
• Strong working knowledge of Agile and a practical, flexible approach to applying it
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including status reporting and stakeholder updates
• Highly organized self-starter who can work independently with little direction
• Comfortable working with many stakeholders across different business functions, with a changing mix of priorities
• Enough technical or data background to understand data sources and systems and ask the right questions when gathering requirements
