• Facilitate workshops with government stakeholders, resolve conflicting requirements, and obtain formal sign-offs.
• Map as-is / to-be processes; identify dependencies, edge cases, and non-functional requirements (security, privacy, audit, performance).
• Apply AI tools (LLMs, prompt engineering, AI-assisted documentation) to speed up analysis and drafting, with sound judgment on validation and sensitive government data.
• Support UAT, bridge business and technical teams, and ensure delivered solutions meet business objectives.
• Mentor junior Business Analysts and uphold the team’s BA methodology and standards.

• Excellent stakeholder management, facilitation, and bilingual communication (Arabic & English).
• Hands-on AI proficiency: prompt engineering and AI-assisted analysis / documentation, with disciplined validation and data-sensitivity judgment.
