About this role
Business Analyst
Finesse Direct is seeking a skilled Business Analyst to join their team in Dubai for a contractual role. This position is ideal for candidates with a strong background in software product analysis and a keen understanding of modern technological landscapes.
In this role, you will be instrumental in bridging the gap between business needs and technical implementation. You will lead requirement sessions, meticulously document specifications, and collaborate closely with development teams to ensure successful product delivery.
The ideal candidate will possess hands-on experience with AI assistants and LLM features, demonstrating an ability to translate complex requirements into actionable instructions for developers. Your contributions will directly impact the efficiency and success of software product development.

- REST APIs

- AI Assistants
- Claude
- LLM Features
- RAG

Key Responsibilities
- Run requirement sessions with stakeholders: ask the right questions, find the real need, and resolve gaps and conflicts before anything is written.
- Write detailed markdown requirement documents covering context and goal, scope and out-of scope, user flows, business rules, data and API expectations, edge cases, and testable acceptance criteria.
- Structure each document so a Claude instance with repository access can implement it without follow-up questions: explicit, unambiguous, with constraints and examples.
- Break large requests into small requirements that can be built and verified independently.
- Work with the technical lead and developers to confirm feasibility and point each requirement at the right services, endpoints and data models.
- Check what was built against the requirement, and tighten the specification when the result misses.
- Keep requirement documents versioned and current as scope changes, and improve the team’s templates and standards for them.
Qualifications
- 2–4 years as a business analyst, product analyst or in a similar requirements role on software products.
- Clear, structured technical writing and fluency in markdown.
- A working technical grasp of web applications: frontend and backend, REST APIs, JSON, databases. You can read an API document or data model and discuss it with developers. You are not expected to write production code.
- Hands-on experience with AI assistants or AI coding tools such as Claude or Claude Code. You know how context, specificity, examples and constraints change what the model produces, and what a requirement file needs to contain as a result.
- Enough understanding of LLM features, RAG and agents to write requirements for them.
- Confidence with stakeholders: you can facilitate a session, probe a vague request and push back on scope.
- An eye for edge cases and for what has been left unsaid.
