Functional Analyst / Product Owner
First seen by Alion on Nov 9, 2026.
On behalf of our Client from Belgium, Mobilunity is looking for a Functional Analyst / Product Owner (part time).
Our Client connects the worlds of show jumping, dressage and eventing through reliable, verified and intelligent data. We combine pedigree information, sports results and predictive analytics in one powerful ecosystem.
About the role:
You combine functional analysis with day-to-day coordination of development work. You work closely with management and our IT team. You turn requests into clear, testable tickets and keep the development flow steady.
Most of your time goes to details: requirements, specifications, testing and follow-up. Management leads the big strategic decisions. You join strategic discussions in the weekly team meeting, and when IT finds ways to improve current functionality or operations.
What will you be doing:
**Functional analysis**
Meet with stakeholders about new features and changes
Clarify requests and check for dependencies
Check in detail how current functionality works and whether it matches expectations
Write detailed functional specifications in tickets for developers
Split bigger projects into smaller functional parts for easier development and testing
Think through scenarios and edge cases upfront and confirm the expected behaviour
Test functional tickets once they are ready for review (for purely technical tickets, confirm closure with the developers)
**Planning and coordination**
Set priorities for tickets, from small continuous improvements to bigger projects
Agree on priorities and timings with stakeholders
Keep the developers’ timeline clear
Spot gaps early and line up the next tickets, or unblock existing ones
Follow up on blocked tickets and open questions
Push for clear priorities and deadlines upfront to limit last-minute changes
Align stakeholder expectations with what is possible and planned
Inform stakeholders when new functionality is planned, ready for testing or live
Question the purpose and value of new requests, and steer focus to the topics that add the most value
**Requirements:**
You have experience as a functional analyst, business analyst or product owner
You understand how databases, APIs and software architecture work
You write clear, detailed specifications and test carefully
You explain technical topics in plain language
You think in a structured, process-oriented way
You keep track of details and follow up without reminders
You ask critical questions and can push back on low-value requests
You take time to understand how things work before you propose changes
You feel at home in a small team with short lines and little formal structure
Confident level of English (at least upper-intermediate to handle all communications)
You have an affinity with the equestrian world (a big plus)
**In return we offer:**
The friendliest community of like-minded IT-people
Open knowledge-sharing environment – exclusive access to a rich pool of colleagues willing to share their endless insights into the broadest variety of modern technologies
Perfect office location in the city-center (900m from Lukyanivska metro station with a green and spacious neighborhood) or remote mode engagement: you can choose a convenient one for you, with a possibility to fit together both
No open-spaces setup – separate rooms for every team’s comfort and multiple lounge and gaming zones
English classes in 1-to-1 & group modes with elements of gamification
Neverending fun: sports events, tournaments, music band, multiple affinity groups
**Come on board, and let’s grow together!**
