After several years of high growth, Zipliens has become a leader in lien resolution, a process required in most personal injury settlements.

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.
