Job Description

We are looking for a seasoned Technical Business Analyst with strong business analysis and stakeholder management capabilities to act as the bridge between business teams and data engineering organizations.

Work Location: Pittsburgh, PA

Work Mode: Hybrid (2-3 days/week in office)

Salary Range: $100K/Yr - $120K/Yr Base + Annual Bonus

The posted range is the hiring range for this role — a subset of the broader range available to employees over time — and reflects base salary across our national hiring scale. Final offers are based on several factors, including the candidate's skills and experience, internal pay equity, work location, market conditions for the role, and the specific scope and responsibilities of the position. The top of the range is reserved for candidates who notably exceed the requirements; the lower end applies to those with less experience or fewer preferred qualifications. For positions based in higher-cost zones (e.g., California, New York, New Jersey), actual compensation may exceed the posted range; your recruiter will share specifics during the process
