Job Description
Business Analyst
- Lab Informatics Location India (Pune) | Work from Office About Excelra Excelra is a science-led, data-driven outcomes company with more than 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and life-sciences sector. Our Lab Informatics practice combines deep scientific expertise — including a team of PhD-level researchers — with hands-on delivery experience across ELN, LIMS, SDMS, and data migration programmes for 16 of the top 20 global pharma companies. We act as a trusted client advocate, representing our clients' best interests in all vendor and technology interactions. This role sits within our Lab Informatics delivery team, embedded in a global Revvity Signals implementation and migration programme. Role Summary We are looking for an experienced Business Analyst with a strong background in pharmaceutical R&D; and laboratory informatics to join our delivery team on an exciting and high-priority engagement. The programme covers the migration from Biovia ELN to Revvity Signals (ELN, LIMS, DLX, VitroVivo) across six global R&D; sites, along with data migration from legacy systems and full GXP validation (E3 / CSA framework). The BA will act as the primary liaison between the client's R&D; scientists and the Revvity implementation team, ensuring that the system is configured to serve the scientists' real-world needs — not simply what the vendor delivers by default.

Key Responsibilities
Requirements Gathering & Process Mapping
• Engage directly with R&D; scientists across chemistry, biology, and formulation disciplines to elicit and document current workflows and pain points.
• Translate scientific processes into structured IT and configuration requirements for Revvity Signals (Notebook, LIMS, DLX, VitroVivo modules).




• Map existing Biovia ELN and Cispro workflows to the target Revvity data model, identifying gaps and proposing solutions.
• Produce and maintain detailed requirements documentation, use cases, and process flow diagrams. Vendor & Programme Coordination
• Serve as the client's advocate in all interactions with the Revvity implementation team, challenging vendor-led decisions where they do not serve the client's operational needs.
• Coordinate closely with the Data Migration Specialist (using the Intly AI migration tool) and the CSV/Validation Specialist to ensure requirements, migration, and validation streams are aligned.
• Participate in programme governance and status reviews, flagging risks and dependencies proactively. Change Management & Training
• Develop change management plans for each site rollout, ensuring end-user buy-in and readiness prior to go-live.
• Design and deliver end-user training (scientists and lab managers) for the Revvity Signals platform across all six global sites.
• Create training materials, user guides, and quick-reference documentation in collaboration with the client's IT team. User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
• Plan and facilitate UAT cycles at each site, ensuring test scenarios accurately reflect scientific workflows.
• Log, track, and drive resolution of defects and configuration issues identified during UAT.
• Obtain formal sign-off from site representatives ahead of each go-live. GXP Compliance Awareness




• Work within a fully GXP-validated environment (100% of sites are GXP; E3/CSA approach adopted).
• Ensure all requirement changes and configuration decisions are appropriately documented to support IQ/OQ/PQ activities led by the validation specialist.
• Maintain traceability between user requirements, system configurations, and test evidence. Qualifications & Experience Essential
• Master's degree or above in a life-sciences field (Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, or equivalent).
• 8+ years' experience as a Business Analyst in a pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO environment, with direct exposure to R&D; or laboratory functions.
• Hands-on experience with ELN or LIMS systems (Biovia, Revvity Signals, IDBS, LabVantage, or similar).
• Demonstrable experience conducting requirements workshops with scientific stakeholders and producing formal requirement documents.
• Familiarity with GXP-regulated environments and an understanding of validation concepts (IQ, OQ, PQ, UAT in a validated context).
• Robust communication skills — able to translate between scientific language and IT/vendor terminology with equal fluency. Preferred
• Direct experience with Revvity Signals (Notebook, LIMS, or DLX modules).
• Exposure to data migration projects, particularly migrating from Biovia ELN or similar legacy ELN platforms.
• Certification in Business Analysis (ECBA, CCBA, or CBAP).
• Experience working in a vendor-agnostic advisory or consulting capacity on behalf of a pharma client.
• Familiarity with the E3 (Enterprise, Existing, Experienced) computer software assurance framework.
• Working knowledge of instrument integration concepts (LIMS/DLX connectivity, chromatography data systems).
