cloud. We’re well underway on this journey and we’ve made huge strides, but we
need your help to maintain the momentum we’ve already achieved.
If working in empowered product teams, delivering high quality solutions to
interesting problems, surrounded by like-minded people within an amazing
workplace culture is what you’re seeking then look no further. As a company we
value our core principles of reliability, simplicity, agility and empathy above
all else, and unlike some, we genuinely live and breath these values.
Everything we do, we do with these at the forefront of our minds, and we truly
believe that these help set us apart from other employers and help inspire us
to make amazing products for our customers.
Who are we looking for?
You! No seriously, if you think you have some or all of the below skills or
experience we’d really love to hear from you:
- Naturally,
you’re an experienced Business Analyst who is as comfortable in the
boardroom as dissecting bugs with end-users, or going under the hood with
the dev team. - You’re
a fast learner, passionate about technology and would thrive in a
stimulating role working with a complex, constantly evolving product - You
have experience working with a digital development team. - Agile/SCRUM
expertise. You’ve worked with SCRUM/Agile methodologies managing enterprise-level
development projects. - Exceptional
written skills. You know how to document technical software requirements
and write concise, easy-to-understand user-stories. - Exceptional
verbal communication skills. You can comfortably work with both business and
IT people all the way up to the executive level. - You

key responsibility will be to work with our stakeholders and analyse
functional and non-functional requirements, translating them into agile
user stories for our software engineers and UX designers. - You
will regularly work with project stakeholders to translate their
requirements into something that developers can understand, as well as to
translate the resulting questions that the developers have into something
the stakeholders can understand. - You’ll
lead workshops with key stakeholders to document user stories and develop
acceptance tests. You’ll collect data, perform process mapping and
modelling, and assemble detailed documentation for our business and scrum
teams - While

main focus is on collaboration, knowledge transfer, and skills transfer - You’ll
apply your knowledge of Agile best practise to manage and prioritise the
product backlog and improve our organisational productivity. - You
will be part of a team of highly collaborative colleagues with a furious
focus on delivering value, negotiating value delivery in short cycles, and
helping your business partners understand what they really need-not only
up front but also as the product unfolds in small, usable chunks.
In
a typical day, you’ll:

that things meet our team Definition of Done
What’s in it for you?
You’ll get the chance to work in an environment that has an enormous appetite
for change; a place that truly values and fosters the innovation you can bring
to the teams you work with. We try to be as lean as we can, avoiding red-tape,
bureaucracy and waterfall wherever possible. We do our best to maintain the
‘startup’ look and feel, but without the constraints and overheads normally
associated with less well established organisations. We’re small enough that
your voice will be heard loud and clear and your (awesome) ideas and
innovations will be championed and rapidly adopted. And we’re large enough that
we can execute on these ideas at scale and your work will be used by hundreds
of thousands of (happy) customers.
But wait, there’s more. As well as being an awesome place to innovate, drive
change and make a difference, amaysim also tries to be a place that keeps you
excited to come in on a Monday morning through all kinds of fun extras,
including:
- an
amaysim phone plan (what else??) and a generous subsidy towards a new
phone/tablet to use it on - an
extra day of annual leave on your birthday - covering
the costs of your attendance to any and all meetup groups (taxis and
time-in-lieu) - ‘amaysim
ideas’ sessions several times a month with many external speakers
(Facebook, Dropbox and many more) - swish
offices, with even swisher
ones beginning construction soon and rolling out in August - join
the entire company on ‘Culture days’ at least twice a year (normally at a
harbour-side location – Taronga Zoo most recently), to discuss and shape
how the company is run (and to see the Penguins ??) - a
thriving social life, with events happening most months - subsidised
gym membership & free F45 training at lunchtimes
and
many, many others…
many, many others…
