What Does a Business Analyst Actually Do?
A Business Analyst analyses business needs, maps existing processes, and translates those needs into clear functional specifications for IT or project teams.
They facilitate communication between stakeholders (operations, management, IT, external partners) to ensure that the delivered solution meets the business objectives.
Typical responsibilities include:
- Gathering and formalising requirements (workshops, interviews, user stories, functional specifications).
- Analysing data and identifying improvement opportunities (efficiency, quality, cost, user experience).
- Modelling processes (as‑is / to‑be) and designing functional solutions.
- Supporting functional testing, change management and documentation activities.
Types of Business Analyst Jobs at Sparagus
Not all business analyst jobs are the same: at Sparagus we cover several types of roles in different business and technical contexts.
Business Analyst – Documentation & PLM (Industry / Defence & Aerospace)
On some projects, the Business Analyst focuses on document management (DMS, SharePoint, etc.) and PLM, working closely with industrial and IT teams.
They analyse and map document systems, optimise workflows (creation, validation, publication, archiving) and ensure data quality, traceability, and confidentiality for product information.
This type of business analyst job typically involves:
- Analysing business needs, defining data models and migration plans (source/target systems, volumes, metadata).
- Coordinating functional testing, providing level 2 functional support, training users and supporting change management.
Business Analyst – Logistics Flows & Supply Chain
Other missions focus on logistics flows and purchasing processes, for example when quickly implementing a new software solution across multiple production sites.
In these contexts, the Business Analyst plays a key role in supporting logistics, purchasing and production teams as they adopt the new tool and optimise flows.
Typical responsibilities include:
- Coordinating internal teams and the implementation partner, monitoring quality and deadlines for the rollout.
- Producing clear, structured documentation for end users, supporting change management and promoting best practices.
Digital Business Analyst – Retail, E‑commerce & Digital Platforms
We also offer Digital Business Analyst jobs in highly digital environments (retail, e‑commerce, mobile platforms, digital marketing, etc.).
These profiles work across both front‑end applications (e‑commerce sites, mobile apps, loyalty, CIAM, marketing websites, customer portals) and back‑end components (promotion engines, databases, APIs, search engines, etc.).
Their role usually includes:
- Gathering and analysing requirements for digital applications, writing user stories, performing gap analyses, and contributing to Agile sprints.
- Ensuring application stability, coordinating with technical teams (architecture, security, infrastructure) and contributing to 2nd/3rd level support.
Right now, we have several business analyst jobs open in these different categories, in Belgium and sometimes beyond, as long-term assignments, freelance missions or permanent roles.
