What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Analyst position at Zipliens?
Zipliens is a leading lien resolution company that specializes in streamlining the lien process for personal injury law firms. We are looking for proactive, results-driven individuals to join our dynamic team.
Zipliens is looking for a Business Analyst to join our team, building the next generation of applications for the legal industry. After several years of high growth, Zipliens has become a leader in lien resolution, a process required in most personal injury settlements. The software we build supports the lien resolution work we perform on behalf of law firms, helping them operate more efficiently while ultimately enabling the injured parties they service to access settlement funds more quickly and completely—giving our work a clear, real-world impact beyond the technical challenges.
We're hiring a Business Analyst to help shape and define the next generation of tools powering our lien resolution work — including products focused on rapid case evaluation, streamlined staff workflows, comprehensive case tracking, and negotiation. You'll partner closely with our Product Owner, customers, and internal users to surface detailed requirements, identify gaps before they reach development, and document them clearly enough to drive confident decisions. As part of a small product team, you'll also help refine our discovery and requirements practices and bring a strong analytical mindset across the product lifecycle.
