  This
  mandate aims to replace a Business Analyst who also had a proxy Product Owner
  (PO) component on GMCEP, a cross-functional GPAP modernization project
  currently in the implementation phase.
• 
  The ideal
  candidate is a Business Analyst comfortable in a cross-functional delivery
  environment, capable of assuming the tasks of a Product Owner (backlog
  management and prioritization, writing user stories) without formal
  accountability.

  implementation phase involves a contribution focused on execution and concrete
  deliverables, not upstream scoping.

  Profiles to
  be excluded include project managers without analytical experience, BAs limited
  to discovery, and junior profiles unable to cover a broad range of
  responsibilities.

  The role is
  central to the delivery process. On a daily basis, the analyst works closely
