About Paalam
Paalam is a fast-growing Swiss startup building a premium relationship platform for the global Tamil community. We combine technology, psychology and data to help people build meaningful relationships.
As we launch our new mobile app and expand into new international markets, we're looking for an experienced, hands-on Business Analyst who can contribute from day one.
This is not a traditional BA role. You will work directly with the founder across product, data, QA, project management, strategy and international expansion.
The role initially starts as a freelance position of approximately 20 hours per week. For the right candidate, we're happy to transition to a full-time role immediately or, at the latest, from November.
What you'll do
- Analyse product, business and marketing data and turn insights into clear recommendations
- Define and monitor KPIs across conversion, engagement, retention and growth
- Translate product ideas into requirements, user stories, workflows and acceptance criteria
- Perform hands-on QA/UAT and coordinate closely with our development team
- Coordinate product initiatives from requirements through release
- Research and evaluate new countries for expansion
- Prepare market-entry strategies covering competition, pricing, users, product and growth
- Actively support and coordinate new country launches from planning to execution
- Challenge assumptions and support founder decisions with data and structured reasoning
- Identify opportunities to use AI and automation across the business
Who we're looking for
We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems through data, structured thinking and curiosity.
You naturally ask questions like:
- What do the numbers really tell us?
- Why do users behave the way they do?
- Which improvements create the biggest impact?
- How can we build a better product and a better business?
Who we're looking for
- 3+ years of relevant experience in Business Analysis, Product or a comparable technology role
- Strong experience working with software development teams
- Practical experience with requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria
- Experience with QA/UAT and software releases
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets and practical SQL skills
- Excellent English and Tamil
- Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills
- Hands-on, proactive and comfortable taking ownership
- Comfortable challenging ideas instead of simply executing tasks
- Experience with BI tools, marketing, startups or international expansion is a plus
We value builders and problem-solvers more than academics.
Why Paalam?
- Work directly with the founder
- High ownership from day one
- Shape product, strategy and international expansion
- Help launch Paalam in new countries
- Flexible remote work
- Opportunity to grow into broader Product or Strategy responsibilities
- Become an early member of our long-term core team
