senior business analyst and agile facilitator.

Our client, a prominent player in the Quebec corporate landscape undergoing a major digital transformation, is seeking a versatile Senior Business Analyst & Agile Facilitator. In this dynamic hybrid role, you will bridge the gap between business vision and technical execution. You will act as an Agile champion—driving team cohesion, facilitating ceremonies, and coaching software developers—while simultaneously leveraging your analytical expertise to translate complex business needs into actionable technical requirements.

Advantages
Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a balanced work environment with just 2 days per week on-site in Montreal.

Impactful Mission: Play a pivotal role in guiding a dedicated software development team through an active Agile evolution.

Collaborative Culture: Work within a modern, supportive environment that values continuous improvement and open communication.

Competitive Contract Terms: 6-month initial engagement with a high probability of extension based on project momentum.

Responsibilities
Agile Coaching & Facilitation: Lead daily stand-ups, iteration planning, reviews, and retrospectives; eliminate operational roadblocks and mentor developers on Agile principles to optimize delivery flow.

Business Analysis & Requirements Gathering: Engage with cross-functional stakeholders to capture core business needs, refine user stories, and support the Product Owner in prioritizing and maintaining a clear product backlog.

Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the primary liaison between technical engineering groups and business operational teams, ensuring clear alignment on goals and deliverables.

Delivery Enablement: Promote continuous improvement practices within the team to enhance overall velocity, quality, and morale.

Qualifications
Proven track record in a dual-capacity role combining Scrum Master/Agile Facilitator duties with functional Business Analysis within software engineering environments.

Deep mastery of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) with hands-on experience driving continuous delivery teams.

Strong technical acumen and a solid grasp of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and modern system architectures.

Exceptional soft skills: collaborative leadership, active listening, structured organization, and natural influence.

Fluent in French (spoken and written) for daily team interactions and collaboration.

Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties. Based on an assessment conducted by our client, it has been determined that this position requires candidates to be fluent in English (both spoken and written). In particular, this position will require the employee to interact with centralized internal departments (e.g., Operations / HR / Finance / Legal / Contracts / Sales) that support the organization in Canada and that do not speak French.
