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 Responsibilities 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 being each sprint with complete specs, clear acceptance criteria, and any required access or test data
Hold contractors accountable to committed timelines and quality standards; elevate 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 disciplines: 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 sign‑off -- 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
Required Qualifications
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
