I mean, a business analyst should do just that: analyzes the business. It's usually their job to translate strategic areas of improvement in the business unit into specific outcomes. They ask questions to identify areas of improvement; translate those into functional (and sometimes technical) requirements for other areas (not just IT) to fulfill; and then coordinate the efforts to implement those requirements, potentially as PMs, product owners, Scrum masters, UAT leads, or just a SME. The best BAs (paraphrasing the data science JD) know more tech than the business and more business than the tech.
