With AI at its core and operating at unparalleled scale, Sabre transforms insights into innovation, empowering airlines, hoteliers, agencies and other partners to retail, distribute and fulfill travel worldwide.\nWe are seeking a Lead Business Analyst to join our global IX Platform team, where innovation knows no borders.

Navigate demanding customer interactions with composure, addressing misunderstandings and moving escalated discussions toward constructive solutions.\nAgile Execution & Analysis: Analyze complex integration scenarios, platform behavior, and customer issues to deliver clear options, risk assessments, and recommendations. Support Agile delivery activities, including backlog refinement, user story creation, UAT preparation, and post-delivery validation.\nWhat You'll Bring\nRequired Qualifications\nExperience: Strong experience as a Business Analyst, Functional Analyst, Product Analyst, or Solution Analyst in complex enterprise software environments.\nTechnical Depth: Technical fluency with APIs, system integrations, data structures, and configuration parameters-this is not a coding role, but requires the technical capability to work closely with engineering teams and discuss system dependencies, logs, defects, and platform constraints.\nIndependence & Ownership: Proven ability to independently own complex customer and product topics with minimal supervision, proactively mitigating delivery risks, gaps, and unclear requirements.\nCustomer Facing: Demonstrated ability to work directly with external enterprise customers, build trust, facilitate requirement workshops, and present solutions in high-stakes situations.\nDomain Knowledge: Solid understanding of airline industry processes, including offer and order management, reservations, ticketing, pricing, servicing, distribution, or NDC.\nAgile Expertise: Experience authoring user stories, functional specifications, process flows, and acceptance criteria within Agile frameworks.\nSoft Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to translate complex concepts between technical and business audiences, alongside strong problem-solving capabilities to navigate ambiguity.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with airline platform technologies, travel systems, GDS, PSS, NDC, or order management frameworks.\nExperience supporting customer onboarding, UAT, implementation workshops, or complex production defect analysis.\nExperience collaborating within global, distributed engineering and delivery teams.\nWork arrangements\nHybrid working mode; 3 chosen days from the office in a week\nFlexible working hours: Maintain your work-life balance by adjusting your working hours to your needs\nPaid time off\nYear-End-Break: enjoy additional fully paid days off during the last week of the year\nPaid parental leave: Take up to 12 weeks off with pay after birth or adoption of a child.
