Role Overview 

The Business Analyst for the CCX Customer Success AI Acceleration workstream partners closely with Engineering, Product Management, and Program teams to translate customer success strategy and AIdriven use cases into clear, actionable requirements that enable scalable delivery. This role sits on the engineering side of the house, acting as a connective layer between business intent, technical execution, and AIenabled platform outcomes. 

The Business Analyst ensures that AI acceleration initiatives across the Customer Success Platform are well‑defined, appropriately prioritized, and traceable from business objectives through system design and delivery. This includes refining problem statements, documenting requirements, supporting backlog readiness, and helping teams move quickly without losing alignment or clarity. 

Requirements 

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst supporting engineering teams, preferably in enterprise, platform, or SaaS environments. 

• Strong ability to translate business needs, customer success objectives, and AI use cases into clear functional and non‑functional requirements. 

• Experience working on AI‑enabled or data‑driven products, including concepts such as automation, recommendations, agentic workflows, or insights powered by analytics. 

• Ability to partner effectively with Engineers, Product Managers, Technical Program Managers, and UX to support backlog refinement and delivery planning. 

• Experience creating and maintaining artifacts such as user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, data mappings, and dependency documentation. 

• Comfort operating in fast‑paced, iterative delivery environments, supporting AI acceleration efforts where requirements evolve quickly. 

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify gaps, risks, dependencies, and edge cases early in the development lifecycle. 

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align technical and non‑technical stakeholders. 

• Familiarity with ServiceNow‑style enterprise platforms, customer success workflows, or complex system integrations is a strong plus. 

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience. 

Product Manager – AI/GenAI

Our AI platform that lets people ask questions of their enterprise data in natural language and get trustworthy answers. The hard part isn't the model — it's the fit between what the product can genuinely do and what customers actually need, over data that is never as clean as anyone hopes. We're hiring a Product Manager to own that fit: to do the detailed thinking on customer pain, competitive landscape, and where the technology is going, and to turn it into a sharp, defensible product proposition and roadmap. You'll work closely with the CTO (who currently carries this thinking) and become the person who owns the depth beneath it.

What you'll own

• Proposition & positioning. Take fuzzy capability and turn it into a clear, honest, defensible articulation of what Jiva is, who it's for, and why it wins. Kill the gap between what's sold and what's deliverable.

• Customer intelligence (within the current structure). Sales and Delivery own the customer relationship today; you build the customer picture through them —mining PoC post-mortems, win/loss, readiness audits, sales-call notes, and Delivery's ground truth. Extract real jobs-to-be-done, separate stated wants from underlying pain, and bring a synthesized customer voice into the room. Over time, earn a path to direct customer contact — but you'll start by getting more 

out of the signal the field teams already carry than anyone does today.

• Competitive & technology intelligence. Track the space — RAG, text-to-SQL, tabular/relational foundation models, agentic systems, the commercial players — and synthesize it into product direction. Know what's real and what's marketing.

• Requirements & roadmap. Translate the above into crisp requirements and a prioritized roadmap, in partnership with Engineering. Make the trade-offs explicit.

• Sales & Delivery enablement. Own the "what we can honestly promise" story so field teams stop overselling and start qualifying. You are the source of truth on capability boundaries.

Must-haves

• 5+ years in B2B / enterprise product management, ideally on data, analytics, AI/ML, or platform products.

• Demonstrated ability to frame a proposition — you can show us a product or feature where you turned raw capability into a positioning that won customers. Portfolio evidence, not a claim.

• Technical fluency in AI/data. You understand RAG, LLMs, text-to-SQL, and data quality well enough to judge feasibility vs. hype and to earn engineers' respect. You don't need to code; you need to reason.

• Customer discovery skill — and the resourcefulness to apply it 

indirectly. You've run structured discovery and can distinguish what customers say from what they need. Just as important here: you can extract sharp customer insight secondhand — through sales and delivery teams, deal histories, 

and product usage — because you won't have direct customer access on day one.

• Evidence-driven and structured. You validate before you evangelize. Strong written thinker — you can put a proposition on one page and defend it.

Nice-to-have

• Exposure to NL→SQL, semantic layers, knowledge graphs, or enterprise data governance.

• 0-to-1 or turnaround experience — comfort building the function, not just running it.

• Experience selling into or building for regulated / data-sensitive enterprises
