Role:  Lead Business Analyst – IAM

Location: Bangalore, India

Team: Digital Infrastructure & Platforms (IAM)

Description

Are you a tech-savvy analytical thinker who can bridge the gap between complex enterprise security and seamless user experience? Airbus is looking for a Techno-Functional Lead Business Analyst to join our Identity & Access Management (IAM) team in Bangalore.

In our shift toward a product-led model, IAM Self-Service is a core platform used across all of Airbus. This role requires deep analytical skills, strong leadership capabilities, and a unique blend of business acumen and technical literacy. You will work directly with our Product Managers, Product Owners, Product Architects, and Technical Leads to turn identity challenges into structured, automated digital solutions.

Challenges & Impact

• The Bridge: Translating complex aviation business processes, compliance rules (like Export Control), and security mandates into technical logic that developers can code immediately.

• Simplification: Looking at highly technical systems (Active Directory, database schemas, APIs) and designing simplified, user-centric self-service workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Requirement Engineering: Lead workshops with diverse Airbus stakeholders (engineering, security, HR, auditors) to elicit, analyze, document, and prioritize functional and non-functional requirements.

• Techno-Functional Blueprinting: Convert business needs into highly detailed User Stories, Functional Specification Documents (FSDs), use cases, and technical process maps (BPMN).

• Architecture Alignment: Work closely with the Product Architect and Technical Lead to translate business rules into technical data models, .NET API specifications, and PowerShell automation requirements.

• Traceability & Testing: Ensure requirements are traceable and testable. Coordinate closely with the Tech Lead to design User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scenarios and validate that the developed .NET/Angular tools meet actual business objectives.

• Change & Governance: Support the integration of solutions across enterprise systems, manage requirement changes throughout the lifecycle, and help build governance frameworks.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience: Minimum 8+ years of experience as a Business Analyst in complex, large-scale enterprise IT environments.

• IAM Domain Expertise: Solid understanding of core Identity & Access Management (IAM) concepts—specifically identity lifecycles, role-based access control (RBAC), Directory Services (Active Directory), and Single Sign-On (SSO).

• Technical Literacy: Ability to read/understand API structures, SQL queries, and basic automation logic (like PowerShell workflows) to confidently debate implementation details with developers.

• Tools: Proficiency in process modeling tools (e.g., Visio, Signavio) and Agile requirements management tools (Jira, Confluence).

• Communication: Exceptional stakeholder management, negotiation, and communication skills to present complex technical logic to non-technical business units, and vice versa.

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field.

• Preferred Certifications: IIBA-CBAP, CCBA, or PMI-PBA. Agile certifications (Product Owner/Scrum Master) are a strong plus.

How Techno-Functional BA Fits the Team

To avoid overlapping with the Product Owner (PO) and Technical Lead, here is how the BA collaborates:

• With the PO: The PO owns the priority of the backlog ("What features provide the highest value"). The BA owns the depth of the backlog ("How exactly does this feature work under the hood").

• With the Tech Lead: The Tech Lead decides how to build the system. The BA provides the Tech Lead with the exact business rules, edge cases, and validation data needed to write clean code without guesswork. 

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
