Business Analyst (IT / SDLC) – Contract | Hybrid (3/2) W2 ONLY and LOCAL Atlanta candidates. Our client is seeking a Business Analyst to support a high-profile development initiative within a fast-paced IT environment. This is a 6-month contract opportunity in a hybrid setting (3 days onsite / 2 remote). The environment operates within Agile delivery practices and is built on a Microsoft technology stack (.NET, SQL Server) , with a strong focus on improving requirements quality and SDLC execution. This role addresses a critical gap in requirements definition and translation between business and technical teams , directly impacting delivery efficiency and outcomes. Why This Opportunity Stands Out This is a high-impact role where the right person will immediately influence how work gets delivered. The team is currently experiencing friction due to unclear or incomplete requirements and needs a true Business Analyst who can bring structure, clarity, and consistency. The consultant will be working on a time-sensitive, high-visibility initiative , partnering closely with PMO leadership, and helping formalize the requirements process. This is an opportunity to own the BA function , reduce miscommunication, and drive more effective execution across teams.
