Business Analyst (Maternity Cover)

• You work on high‑impact transformation projects, not long, abstract programs
• You deliver visible value fast, customers see results within months
• You join a fast‑growing international SaaS company where growth unlocks new opportunities
• You work in a pragmatic, result-driven culture with experienced professionals
• You get strong onboarding, continuous learning, and real career progression
• Competitive compensation and benefits that grow with your impact

As a Business Analyst, you work together with a multidisciplinary development team of about six to eight people. The development teams in Product Development work according to the Scrum methodology. The requirements, both Ultimo's and our customers', are translated into backlog items in Jira. In two-week sprints, the team works on these items to translate them into working functionalities. This is how we create new modules, develop new options or improve existing functionality. Because we work according to the CI/CD principle, the functionality can be rolled out to customers very quickly and we also can get feedback very quickly.

As a Business Analyst, you are the one to answer functional questions, but you don't shy away from technical issues either. One of the most important tasks of the Business Analyst is helping to get the backlog ready. This means that, together with the Product Owner, you keep a critical eye on the direction the product is going, investigate all sorts of matters, and use this to translate the rough ideas into concrete, achievable backlog items.

This is a maternity cover from August 1st 2026 till July 30th 2027

Responsibilities

• Identifying and analysing requirements (wishes and demands) from the business and translating these into functionality in Ultimo
• Giving demonstrations and collecting requirements during customer panel sessions
• Giving accurate and detailed answers to functional questions in the development team
• Refining the user stories to reach ready backlog items
• Actively sharing knowledge with colleagues and channel partners
• Intake of R&D cases: from analysing and reproducing to providing instructions or preparing a case so that it can be taken up by the development team

As a Business Analyst, you constantly discover and analyse business needs and translate them into functional solutions in Ultimo.

It is a dynamic position that also requires several personal skills. For example, it is important that you can look ahead so that you can make the necessary preparations for upcoming projects, and that you can keep several balls in the air. One moment, you may be working on a project that the team is currently tackling, and the next, you are drawing up the necessary documentation or presenting the software delivered by the team. In between, you will be dealing with all sorts of questions from colleagues both in and outside of Product Development, meaning you will have to be able to prioritise and stay organised. Unexpected and unplanned events give you energy, and you thrive on never having a dull moment.

For this position we also ask:

• Demonstrable Higher Professional Education (HBO) level of working and thinking
• Diploma in (or comparable to) Technical Computer Science or Business Information Systems
• At least two years of Ultimo experience
• Experience with software for supporting processes
• Experience with using AI in Business Analysis processes
• Affinity with business processes
• Insight, accuracy, pleasant conversation partner and strong team player
• Good command of the English language. Proficiency in Dutch is a plus
