Business Analyst - Persona Based Applications

Your Job

As a Persona Business Analyst for the MIQ team, you will bridge operational needs and digital delivery by helping define, document, and validate persona-based capabilities that improve how frontline operators, maintenance technicians, planners, and leaders access the information they need to execute work safely, reliably, and efficiently.

You'll work directly with manufacturing stakeholders, product owners, developers, architects, and site teams to translate real plant problems into clear requirements, user stories, workflows, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications.

This role is for someone who can connect how factories run with how digital products are delivered-ensuring capabilities are practical, scalable, and grounded in the day-to-day realities of frontline work.

Location: Atlanta, GA onsite three days per week.

We work closely with operations leaders and cross-functional technology partners to ensure solutions integrate with core manufacturing systems and align with GP's broader smart factory roadmap-moving beyond pilots to sustainable, repeatable capabilities deployed across our global network.
