Writes and refines stories so engineers can start. Workload peaks and dips, so a few fixed hours a week fit better than a full-time seat. It is an insurer, so accuracy and an audit trail come before speed. The work is fully remote. Any location in Canada works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 3 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT). ## What you deliver - Refine 12 backlog stories each week with acceptance criteria and open questions listed. - A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends - A written update every Thursday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked - Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day ## What a week looks like - Tuesday: pick up the queue and confirm priorities - Midweek: two short working sessions of one to two hours - Thursday: update sent before the company's end of day **Duration:** 6 months, then month by month. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included. ## Tools Jira Confluence ## Who fits - 7-12 years of hands-on work as a Business Analyst, or the equivalent mix of roles - Comfortable working in Jira and Confluence - Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate ### Nice to have - Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader - Experience in a similar industry ## Not included - Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately - Managing other contractors or employees - Travel or work at a fixed location ## How you get paid - The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice. - Deftridge pays you in CAD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement. - You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs. - You never chase the company.
