Senior Technical Business Analyst

(German speaking)

Role Summary

This is a rare opportunity to do high-impact business analysis work in an international context — fully remote, as part of CloudX Systems's Romania office. As a Senior Technical Business Analyst, you will join our local team while serving our client - a global leader in supply chain, logistics, and print & packaging.

You will be the very first hire of a new development team — one that will grow to include business analysts, junior and senior developers, and IT project managers. Your work lays the functional and technical foundation for the entire team build-up: you will get deeply familiar with the architecture, business cases, and tech stack of the existing customer platforms, creating the basis for a smooth handover of development responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Platform Deep-Dive: Get up to speed on the architecture, business cases, and tech stack of the client's customer platforms — modern web and cloud technologies, including PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.
• Knowledge Transfer: Work closely with the current external service provider to ensure a structured, complete handover of know-how.
• Analysis & Documentation: Analyze and document existing business processes, functional requirements, and system dependencies.
• Specifications: Create requirement documents, process descriptions, and technical specifications as the basis for future development work.
• Team Build-Up: Support the formation of the new development team, e.g. by providing subject-matter input on role profiles and requirements for future hires (developers, project managers, etc.).
• Act as the functional interface between Elanders Group's business stakeholders, the existing service provider, and the newly forming CloudX team.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and optimization potential throughout the transition phase.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, ideally with a technical background or hands-on development experience.
• Solid technical understanding of modern web and cloud architectures.
• Experience analyzing and documenting complex IT systems, interfaces, and business processes.
• Strong analytical skills combined with a structured, independent way of working.
• Excellent communication skills and a confident manner with diverse stakeholders (business, IT, external and internal service providers).
• Strong written and spoken German and English — daily collaboration with international stakeholders is required.
• Ability to work effectively and proactively in a cross-border, distributed team.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and modern frameworks.
• Experience in outsourcing, transition, or migration projects.
• Experience with tools such as Jira, Confluence, or comparable systems.
• Domain knowledge in supply chain, logistics, or print & packaging.
• Experience in Agile/Scrum environments, especially across distributed teams.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Professional growth opportunities and ongoing learning support.
• A collaborative and innovative team culture.
• A remote-friendly policy.
