Job Description

The People Plugin is proud to be partnering with PixelForce, an award-winning app development agency behind SWEAT (the world's #1 fitness app) and other multi-million dollar success stories based in Adelaide, to find an exceptional Lead Business Analyst.

This role sits at the intersection of business analysis and quality assurance — perfect for someone who thrives on translating complex business goals into crystal-clear documentation and then ensuring flawless delivery through robust testing practices.

You’ll work directly with PixelForce’s CEO and Engineering Manager, bridging strategy and execution across world-class mobile and web app projects. If you're detail-obsessed, love building systems that scale, and want to be part of a high-performance agency pushing global standards — we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

Requirements Documentation & Analysis

  • Own the creation of BRDs, PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria
  • Translate business needs into clear, technical documentation for cross-functional teams
  • Lead requirements gathering sessions with internal stakeholders and clients
  • Ensure requirements traceability and minimise scope creep across all projects
  • Ensure requirements align with commercial objectives and user experience goals

Quality Assurance & Testing

  • Develop and execute detailed test plans and test cases
  • Execute manual testing across mobile devices and web platforms to ensure market-ready quality
  • Set up and maintain automated testing frameworks (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, Jest)
  • Coordinate and document UAT processes and ensure defect resolution tracking

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Act as the bridge between Product Strategy, Engineering, and Insights teams
  • Facilitate handovers, resolve requirement gaps, and ensure aligned delivery
  • Continuously improve requirements and QA processes to support efficient project delivery

About You:
You’re the rare professional who sees the big picture whilst obsessing over the details. You understand that great apps aren't just well-coded - they're well-conceived businesses that work flawlessly for real users.
You're a sharp, process-driven professional who thrives on clarity, quality, and collaboration. Whether you're capturing complex business needs or leading thorough testing processes, you bring a thoughtful, structured approach that ensures nothing is missed and everything runs smoothly.
You’re equally comfortable in client conversations and technical deep dives — translating requirements, asking the right questions, and making sure each feature works as intended across every device. You think in systems, take ownership of your work, and have a knack for bridging gaps between design, engineering, and product teams. With a passion for continuous improvement, you’re always looking for ways to tighten processes, reduce ambiguity, and deliver better results — faster.

Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years' experience in business analysis and quality assurance roles
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear, comprehensive technical documentation
  • Expertise in manual testing methodologies and defect management
  • Track record of reducing post-launch defects and improving development velocity through quality processes
  • Proven experience with automated testing frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Jest, or similar)
  • Experience with testing tools and project management platforms (e.g., JIRA, TestRail, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle and modern development practices
  • Experience testing web and mobile applications across multiple platforms and devices
  • Comfortable working in agile environments and cross-functional teams
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • A process improvement mindset with a passion for quality and clarity
  • Experience in a digital agency or high-growth tech environment preferred
