About Merchmix

Merchmix is a fast-growing SaaS platform helping brands and businesses streamline merchandising, product operations, and business workflows through technology.

Role Overview

We are looking for an exceptionally driven IT Business Analyst who can bridge the gap between clients, product, and engineering teams.

Product & Business Analysis

• Work closely with Product Managers and Engineering teams to define solutions.
• Assist in feature prioritization and roadmap planning.
• Conduct market and competitor research to support product decisions.

• Track project progress and ensure deadlines are met.
• Follow up relentlessly with stakeholders to drive accountability.
• Maintain project documentation and ensure clarity across teams.
• Coordinate between clients, developers, designers, QA teams, and management.
• Escalate issues proactively when timelines or deliverables are at risk.

Quality & Delivery

• Validate delivered functionality against business requirements.
• Participate in UAT and support release planning.
• Ensure solutions align with client expectations and business objectives.
• Drive continuous improvements in internal processes and workflows.

• Comfortable working with Agile product development teams.
• Proficiency with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Notion, Google Workspace, or similar.

• Highly proactive and self-driven.
• Relentless in driving tasks to completion.
