Writes and refines stories so engineers can start. The team is stretched and wants steady, predictable help instead of another full-time hire. It moves goods for customers, so the data is operational and updated daily. The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (ET). ## What you deliver - Refine 20 backlog stories each week with acceptance criteria and open questions listed. - Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call - 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 ## What a week looks like - Monday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items - Tuesday: main working block (2 hours) - Thursday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open **Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included. ## Tools Jira Confluence ## Who fits - 5-10 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 - A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late - Used to short written handovers ## Not included - On-call availability outside the agreed window - Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so - Managing other contractors or employees ## 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 USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable.
