About the Role
We're looking for a Lead Business Analyst to lead large-scale Contentful CMS implementations for enterprise clients. You'll be the bridge between client stakeholders and delivery teams, responsible for requirements, backlog management, and ensuring successful project outcomes on complex, high-profile web projects.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role within our digital agency where you'll partner with strategy, design, and engineering teams to deliver sophisticated web experiences. If you've been working as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or Senior Business Analyst on enterprise web/digital projects at an agency or consultancy, and you know your way around Contentful (or similar headless CMS platforms), we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Client Partnership
Lead requirement elicitation sessions with client stakeholders
Build trust and partnerships with client product owners and business teams
Navigate our client/vendor relationship dynamics
Facilitate user acceptance testing and gather ongoing feedback
Create order out of ambiguity in early project phases
Requirements & Delivery
Be the Contentful subject matter expert for the client team
Define and document business, functional, and non-functional requirements
Create content models, process flows, and data architecture documentation
Collaborate with architects and developers to break down requirements into implementable stories
Manage backlog and sprint planning in Jira
Contribute to roadmap development and ongoing roadmap management
Lead Agile ceremonies and facilitate alignment across large teams
Leadership & Collaboration
Partner with strategy, design, and engineering leads
Translate business needs into technical specifications
Identify risks and propose solutions
Create training materials and conduct client training
What You Bring
Required:
5+ years in a digital agency or consultancy (client-facing project work)
Hands-on experience with Contentful or similar headless CMS/CaaS platforms
Enterprise web/digital implementation experience (not internal systems or applications)
Requirements elicitation and documentation skills (user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows)
Agile delivery experience (Scrum, sprint planning, backlog management)
Experience translating between business and technical audiences
Prior experience as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or Product Manager on web/digital projects
Content modeling and information architecture experience
Integration experience (APIs, headless architecture, marketing/commerce platforms)
Tools:
Jira & Confluence (or equivalent)
Familiarity navigating Figma or similar design collaboration tools
Lucid, Miro, or other tools for creating flowcharts and process diagrams
This Role is NOT For You If:
You work exclusively on internal IT systems or enterprise software implementations
You haven't worked in an agency/consulting environment
You're looking for a pure project management or technical product management role
You don't have hands-on experience with modern CMS platforms
What We Offer
Remote work (US-based)
High-profile client work with recognized brands
Collaborative team environment across design, strategy, and engineering
Opportunity to be the Contentful expert and drive major implementations
