Agile BA Career Growth Role - ClearlyAgile Tampa in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This Business Analyst role at ClearlyAgile sits squarely in the mid-level BA / Agile consultant space, requiring 3+ years of BA experience and at least 2 years in Agile environments. It's a solid fit for someone who wants to deepen their Agile craft rather than pivot into pure management.
Compensation note: No salary is listed, which is a mild yellow flag. Mid-level Agile BAs in the Tampa Bay market typically earn $70,000–$95,000/year, while those with Scrum certifications (CSM/CSPO) and 3–5 years of experience can command $90,000–$110,000 at consultancies. The description promises "very competitive compensation," so candidates should benchmark and negotiate confidently.
Skills this role develops:
- Advanced Agile methodology (Scrum, backlog refinement, story decomposition)
- Stakeholder management and facilitation — increasingly valued in product-led companies
- Jira and related tooling, foundational for most tech roles
- Cross-functional communication between business and engineering teams
Green flags: Employee ownership (ESOP signals long-term investment in staff), paid certification training, unlimited PTO, and a culture that explicitly values learning. These are strong retention and development signals.
Watch for: The consultancy model means you'll likely work across multiple client environments, which is excellent for breadth but can make deep product ownership difficult. Confirm whether you're staffed to one client or rotate frequently — it significantly shapes your day-to-day experience and career trajectory.
Join a team of professionals who are passionate about their work, love cross-training and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies. We care about our employees and foster an environment in which they can thrive by providing them the tools and training necessary to get the job done. Our team is a place where we encourage self-starters, and everyone's ideas are heard and valued! We are looking for experienced Business Analysts with an Agile Mindset to join the ClearlyAgile team. Some are true BAs on the team and others may work closely with Product Owners.
What you'll be doing is using agile methods to analyze, define, and document business requirements in order to deliver valuable software applications that meet stakeholder needs.
- Requirements gathering: identify and clarify business and functional requirements for clients and internal teams, using interviews and workshops with external/internal stakeholders
- Collaborate with stakeholders and product teams to decompose large epic stories into features and user stories that can be understood and approved by members of the development team
- Work with the agile team throughout the product development, testing, and implementation phases to ensure requirements are clearly understood
- Provide support to the Product Owner with backlog prioritization, feature sequencing and organization, user acceptance testing, etc.
- Build trust and respect, establish relationships, and develop rapport with technical and non-technical team members
What we're looking for is someone who is willing to learn and open to new ideas. This position focuses on designing and developing solutions for our new and existing projects. This position requires a candidate with an enthusiastic and energetic personality who will be organized, inspirational, and collaborative.
- 3+ years of Business Analysis experience, including gathering requirements for software development, creating user stories, and product backlog grooming
- 2+ years working as a Business Analyst in an agile environment, strong agile mindset, familiarity with Scrum process and role of Product Owner
- Experience with Jira or similar tools
- Scrum certification like CSM or CSPO preferred
- Bachelor's degree preferred
Location and Other Requirements
- Must be located within commuting distance of Tampa, FL — the role is remote but an occasional visit to the office may be required
- Candidates must be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship (no subcontracts or visa sponsorship)
