Funko Overview
Welcome to the Funko-verse, a world built on pure imagination, a land governed by the philosophy that stories matter, a universe comprised of characters from countless fandoms, a galaxy of once upon a times and happily ever afters.
But what does Funko do?
Funko is a purveyor of pop culture, making and selling license-focused collectibles. We’re based in Everett, WA where we have a store that delights kids of all ages (kids at heart included). We currently hold hundreds of licenses for franchises ranging from Marvel to Harry Potter, giving us the rights to create tens of thousands of characters—one of the largest portfolios in the pop culture and collectibles industry. We take your favorite characters and turn them into adorable, or sometimes scary, collectible figures. Our most famous line, Pop! Vinyl, has millions of fans around the world.
As a Business Analyst, you’ll be responsible for performing detailed requirements analysis, documenting requirements, specifications, and processes, and performing some User Acceptance Testing for the Funko ERP Application. The Business Analyst will interact with business users, development team, QA, project leads, external vendors and consultants. The ideal candidate’s background should include experience in software solution requirements gathering, technical writing, production software support, & data analytics, and have a natural analytical way of thinking with the ability to explain difficult concepts to non-technical users.
More importantly, you’d be part of a highly passionate, collaborative, and talented team developing and maintaining our ERP application platform. If you know what is Epic and what is just another Story we want to hear from you!
