Business analyst resume example
Miguel Alvarez's resume here is the live export of our Business Analyst · Smart template: the boxed contact block and side-rule headings are plain borders, so nothing interrupts the text a parser reads and the page scores 98/100 against our 30 published ATS rules. These are the four lines that make a hiring manager slow down.
Measured by exporting this exact resume and running it through the 30 rules we publish. Certified: we only badge templates at 90 or above, a stricter bar than the 85 our checker calls interview-ready, so the design leaves headroom for your own content.
Opens in the editor with this content in place — replace it line by line. No signup, no watermark on the PDF. The sample PDF is the exact export the score was measured on.

Why these bullets work
Every line below is taken verbatim from the resume above.
“Own requirements for a claims-adjudication platform serving 1.2M members; translated 40+ business rules into user stories and acceptance criteria last quarter”
Scale first (1.2M members), then the actual craft of the job — rules into stories into acceptance criteria. BA screening looks for exactly those words attached to something real, and here they are, attached and counted.
“Cut the monthly reporting cycle from 9 days to 3 by rebuilding 14 finance and utilization reports in Power BI”
Time reclaimed is the analyst outcome everyone understands. Nine days to three with the tool named makes it repeatable, and 14 reports says it was a rebuild program, not one lucky dashboard.
“Documented current-state order and inventory workflows for 60 stores, then led UAT on a $2.4M point-of-sale replacement”
A full BA engagement in one sentence — current state mapped, then the replacement tested — with a dollar figure that sets the stakes. 'Led UAT' is a responsibility claim interviewers reliably probe, so it invites the right questions.
“Built SQL dashboards tracking inventory shrink across 4 regions; flagged variances worth $310k in recovered stock in one year”
Money recovered, not 'insights delivered'. A found-money number survives any follow-up, and it proves the SQL on the skills row gets used on real ledgers, not just listed.
Making it yours
- Swap the claims-adjudication platform for your own system and its user count — the pattern to keep is 'own requirements for X serving Y people'.
- Keep one cycle-time win with both numbers, like 9 days to 3; if yours is a cleared backlog or a defect-rate drop, state the before and the after.
- The Domain skills row (healthcare claims, retail operations here) is doing quiet keyword work — replace it with the two or three industries your experience actually covers.
- If you hold CBAP or PSM I, keep them spelled out with the acronym as this example does; if you don't, drop the section rather than padding it with course completions.
Common questions
What skills should a business analyst resume highlight in 2026?
Requirements elicitation, process mapping, SQL, and one BI tool are the screening set. This example groups them into Analysis, Data, Delivery, and Domain rows so a parser and a person both find them fast.
