Role Overview:
We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst (Presales) to work closely with sales, clients, and internal teams to understand business needs and create effective solution proposals. This role focuses on gathering requirements, preparing client-facing documents and presentations, supporting presales activities, and helping clients identify the right digital solutions for their business challenges.
Key Responsibilities:
Engage with sales leads and account managers to gather, analyze, and document client business and technical requirements for incoming opportunities.
Conduct independent research on the client's industry, business model, and technology landscape to add contextual depth to proposals.
Own the end-to-end preparation of Proposals, RFP/RFI responses, Statements of Work (SoW), Capability Decks, and Effort Estimation documents in collaboration with the Pre-Sales Manager and technical leads
Write and structure proposal content that clearly maps client needs to Simform's service offerings — across Cloud, Product Engineering, App Development, Custom Software Development, and Digital Engineering capabilities.
Ensure all submitted documents are accurate, well-structured, free of generic content, and reflect measurable value propositions.
Coordinate review cycles internally, manage document versions, and maintain submission timelines without compromising quality.
Maintain and continuously improve a library of reusable proposal content, case studies, and capability statements mapped to Simform's verticals and service lines.
Participate in discovery calls and requirement workshops with prospects, asking the right questions to surface unstated needs and project risks.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
3–5 years of experience in Business Analysis, with strong and demonstrable exposure to pre-sales activities — specifically Proposal Writing, RFP/RFI responses, and SoW preparation.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field.
Experience in IT services, digital engineering, or product engineering company is strongly preferred.
Solid understanding of Cloud, Product Engineering, App Development, Custom Software Development, and Digital Engineering— sufficient to write accurately about these without needing to be hand-held by architects.
Proven ability to gather and convert ambiguous business and technical requirements into structured, solution-oriented proposal narratives.
Excellent written communication skills — proposals must demonstrate precision, coherence, and clarity, not just volume.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to coordinate across sales, technical, and leadership teams under tight deadlines.
Preferred Qualifications:
Microsoft Azure certifications (Fundamentals or above) or cloud/BA certifications
Exposure to key verticals — Fintech, Healthcare, Retail & E-Commerce, or Supply Chain.
Familiarity with agile delivery models and co-engineering engagement structures.
Experience using proposal tools, content libraries, or CRM-integrated pre-sales workflows.
