This role is suitable for someone who enjoys understanding how a feature should work from a business perspective as well as validating how it actually works in the product.

Key Responsibilities

Requirement Gathering Analysis

• Discuss requirements with Product/Business stakeholders and gather the necessary details.

• Understand end-to-end user flows and identify how a new change may affect existing functionality.
• Work with the Designer to ensure the proposed design supports the expected business flow.
• Work closely with Developers during implementation to clarify requirements and resolve
  functional questions.

Documentation

• Prepare clear and well-structured functional requirements and feature documentation.
• Document business rules, validations, scenarios, dependencies, and exceptions.
• Prepare user flows/process flows wherever required.

• Perform functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing as required.
• Validate the implementation against requirements and approved designs.
• Identify positive, negative, boundary, and edge-case scenarios.
• Perform basic API testing and validation when required.
• Identify, reproduce, and document defects with clear steps and expected vs. actual results.
• Retest fixes and perform regression testing to ensure existing functionality is not
  impacted.
• Support release validation and production-readiness testing.

Coordination Collaboration

• Work closely with Product, Business, Development, Design, QA, and Support
  teams.
• Participate in requirement discussions, grooming sessions, design discussions, and
  release planning.
• Help Developers understand business requirements and expected behavior.
• Work with QA to ensure requirements and edge cases are adequately covered during
  testing.
• Proactively communicate risks, dependencies, requirement gaps, and potential impact
  areas.
• Take ownership of assigned requirements and follow them through development and testing.
