Job Description
Business Analyst specializing in Fashion Retail / Digital Asset Management
iSoftStone, Inc. is seeking a Business Analyst specializing in Fashion Retail / Digital Asset Management to join our Team!
We are hiring a Business Analyst to join the engagement team through discovery and translate workshop findings into the detailed requirements, workflows, and acceptance criteria that will drive a major Cloudinary-based DAM and media delivery modernization. This is a highly visible, requirements-ownership role on a marquee multi-brand retail account, working directly with e-commerce, marketing, and technology stakeholders to turn a fragmented current-state process into a governed target-state design.
Responsibilities:
- Elicit and document detailed functional requirements through stakeholder workshops and interviews across e-commerce/studio, marketing/brand, and technology teams, translating high-level priorities into requirements and acceptance criteria the delivery team can build against.
- Map current-state and target-state asset workflows for studio production (shoot through post-production, approval, and publish) and marketing/brand (content strategy through creative production, review, and distribution), identifying the manual hand-offs and duplicate-copy patterns the program is meant to eliminate.
- Define migration scope and criteria — working with the technology team to translate audit findings (asset counts, sizes, master locations) into concrete migration rules (e.g., SKU activity, inventory/orders) that bound what gets migrated rather than moving everything by default.
- Document integration requirements — specifying how the DAM must exchange status, rights, and product/SKU metadata with adjacent production/rights and product-data systems, including the asset-level (not just project-level) publishing behavior stakeholders need.
- Own the requirements backlog and traceability — maintaining requirements, decisions, and open questions across all delivery phases so scope stays traceable from discovery through governance and hypercare as it's refined.
- Support UAT and acceptance testing — translating requirements into test scenarios and validating delivered functionality (taxonomy, permissions, integrations, derivative rules) against them before phase gates and cutover.
- Document metadata and taxonomy requirements — capturing brand-specific taxonomy needs (e.g., divergent naming and folder conventions across portfolio brands) alongside where shared process is workable across smaller markets.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of business analysis experience on enterprise software or platform implementation programs, ideally including a DAM, CMS, PIM, or content-operations system.
- Demonstrated experience running requirements-elicitation workshops with cross-functional business stakeholders (e-commerce, marketing/creative, and technology) and turning findings into clear, testable requirements.
- Experience mapping current-state and future-state business processes, including asset or content lifecycle workflows.
- Working knowledge of digital asset management concepts: metadata schema, taxonomy, rights/usage management, and master-plus-derivative asset strategy.
- Comfort working with integration requirements between a DAM/CMS and adjacent systems (production/rights, product/SKU/PIM platforms) even without being the engineer who builds them.
- Strong documentation skills — requirements specs, process maps, traceability matrices, and UAT test scripts.
- Excellent stakeholder communication, able to translate between business, creative, and technical audiences.
Nice to have:
- Experience specifically with Cloudinary, Adobe AEM Assets/Experience Manager, or Scene7/Dynamic Media.
- Background in fashion, apparel, or accessories retail, particularly multi-brand organizations with brand-specific taxonomy needs.
- Familiarity with agile/hybrid delivery methodologies and backlog tools.
