Experience: 5–8+ years as a business analyst, with progressive responsibility in requirements gathering, process mapping, and stakeholder management
Requirements Analysis: Proven ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear, actionable, and testable requirements
Problem Solving: Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills; able to break down complex problems into structured, achievable steps
Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, particularly in explaining technical or process concepts to non-technical audiences
Stakeholder Management: Skilled in facilitating discussions, balancing competing priorities, and building consensus across business and technical teams
Documentation: Experienced in creating effective requirements documentation, process flows, and other artifacts with attention to detail and clarity

What the job involves

SoundCloud is looking for a sharp, technically savvy Senior Business Analyst to generate and document technical requirements for consent, privacy and regulatory engineering needs
You'll be the knowledge owner of goals and implementation details, working with program/project managers and engineering teams to shake out actionable specifications
Requirements Gathering: You'll work with Business and Legal Affairs program management to understand privacy, consent, and regulatory priorities. From there, you’ll jump into various domains to generate and document detailed technical requirements for implementation. You are NOT required to be a privacy / consent / regulatory subject matter expert coming in - but need to be stellar at translating expertise from others into actionable work. Able to understand the essential components
Roadmapping: You’ll work with program management to create and maintain our engineering and delivery roadmaps. Though you won’t own coordinating the work - that’s on the program managers - we’ll need your knowledge along the way to ensure we’re hitting the mark on value
Risk Assessment: You’ll need to work with program / project management to identify risks associated with various initiatives
Instinct vs process: Though processes are invariably part of this framework, we first and foremost want you to be a critical thinker - always focused on North Star success criteria and adjusting where it makes sense
Relationship building: At core, this is about building trust between human beings, so we want you to engage in building and nurturing relationships across the org. Many of our problems are best solved simply by knowing who to contact

Our take

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud recognized the need for an artist-first platform. The company set out with a clear mission: to empower independent artists by providing them with the necessary tools and resources to grow and build their careers.

Today, SoundCloud boasts over 40M artists on its platform, far outpacing Spotify, which has 11M. As a result, SoundCloud is the largest audio discovery platform in a rapidly growing market. According to MIDiA Research, the independent artist market is poised for continued revenue growth in the coming years, further solidifying SoundCloud's place in the industry.

The company plans to scale its audience and expand its services through new offerings, such as the SoundCloud "roster". This tier system is designed to provide artists with significant creative and financial resources, along with market support, rivalling major record labels. While artists retain ownership of their copyrights, they will be represented by SoundCloud, further enhancing the platform's appeal to independent creators.
