Technical Business Analyst – Mobile Applications

In enterprise mobile delivery, things break between what the business wants and what actually gets built.

This is a medior BA role for someone who sits between a global engineering team and business stakeholders — and makes sure the right thing gets built. Not just written down. You go past what stakeholders say they need, find the real problem, and come back with a backlog the team can actually work from — without a round of debates.

Mobile use cases on this platform are growing fast. More stakeholders, more requests, less clarity. The gap between intent and delivery is widening — and this role exists to close it.

Not for someone who waits to be told what to document.

About our client

One of the world's largest logistics networks — land, sea, air, 220+ countries. The IT backbone behind it: 5,600+ specialists globally. The Prague team is part of core engineering delivery, not a regional satellite.

For this specific mobile area, there are two analysts based in Prague right now. You'd be the third.

Mobile use cases on the platform are expanding. The engineering capacity is there. What's missing is clarity — what to build, why, and in what order.

The previous person in this role moved into a broader function within the company. People here grow — they don't leave. This position is re-opening at a time when the mobile scope has grown, so it's not a straight replacement. The work has expanded beyond what two people can own alone.

Job description

Your job is to close the gap between what the business wants and what gets built.
That means going past what stakeholders say they need. Finding the actual problem. Pushing back on weak briefs. Coming back to the team with a backlog that makes sense and can be picked up without another round of back-and-forth. The team covers the full product lifecycle end-to-end — from build to run. Around 15 people: developers make up the majority, with testers, delivery roles, a dedicated architect, and support. The Prague hub is small — three people, including this role. The rest of the team is internationally distributed across multiple time zones. You'll report directly to the Head of Mobile Delivery. That setup matters: you won't be a local BA coordinating within arm's reach. You'll be the bridge between Prague and a globally distributed team — which means strong written communication and the ability to move things forward without waiting for someone to follow up on you. Stakeholders know their domain. Conversations are direct, not hand-holding.
Your influence here comes from expertise, not mandate. You don't own the final call — that sits with the business owner. But you're the one who shapes the quality of the decision before it gets made. That's what this role is actually about.
After 12 months: delivery in your area is faster and more predictable. Requirements stop being a guessing game. Cross-timezone handoffs are clean — not a bottleneck. Stakeholders come to you early — not after things have already gone wrong.

Key Responsibilities:
* Go to stakeholders, understand the real problem behind each request, push back on weak briefs, and find the better solution — not just the easier one
* Translate business needs into user stories, acceptance criteria, and backlog items the team can pick up and run with — no open questions left hanging
* Run agile ceremonies: refinement, sprint planning, retrospectives — the team understands not just what they're building, but why
* Keep business, development, and delivery connected across a globally distributed team — everything in English

What This Role Is NOT:
* Not a developer role — you won't write code
* Not a passive role — you're not waiting for tasks, you're creating clarity
* Not a Product Owner position — you'll shape and influence backlog decisions, not own them
* Not a support or shift-based role

Operating Model:
Prague office, 2 days a week. Agile delivery. English is the working language — all communication, written and spoken, no exceptions. No shifts, no on-call. The team is internationally distributed; the bulk of the work happens through structured time-zone overlap, not pure async — but your written communication needs to carry weight when overlap ends. Tech context: Android/iOS (enterprise distribution), Node.js and Python backend, Jira, Confluence. Multiple product lines in scope.

Requirements

What Matters Most:
Forget a long checklist. This role comes down to three things:
* You understand delivery — you can tell a clean backlog from a mess. You know what "done" should feel like before the first ticket gets written.
* You think in problems, not tickets — you don't take a brief at face value. You dig until you find the real ask, then shape the solution.
* You push back with substance — stakeholders expect a real conversation, not a nod. The dev team expects clarity, not ambiguity. You're comfortable holding that line on both sides.

English at a level where written communication does the heavy lifting — you're distributed across time zones, so a well-written update or requirement doc often replaces a call. Your async written English matters as much as your spoken English.
High-level mobile knowledge matters — Android/iOS ecosystem, app lifecycle, enterprise distribution. You won't write code. But you need to know what the conversation is about.

Nice to Have:
* Experience in enterprise or regulated environments
* Basic orientation in cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) from a business perspective
* Experience with internal mobile app distribution
* Agile certifications (Scrum, SAFe, or similar)

These describe the platform context — not hard filters for selection.

Offer & Terms

* Real influence on what gets built and how — not just documentation
* A team where people grow internally — the previous person was promoted, not replaced
* AI is actually part of the daily workflow — requirements drafting, documentation, research
* International environment with a strong Prague hub and a direct say in delivery

WHAT YOU GET:
* Salary: CZK 100,000 – 110,000 / month, permanent contract + annual bonus ~15%
* Work model: 2 days Prague, rest remote
* Holiday: 25 days + 6 sick days + up to 10 days fully paid sick leave
* Training and certifications covered by the company
* Cafeteria (Edenred) — meal vouchers, pension/life insurance, healthcare
* Multisport card, option to buy company shares at a discount
