  • Analyze current state processes, systems, and infrastructure to identify improvement and integration opportunities.
  • Translate business needs into clear specifications, user stories, and technical requirements for developers and engineers.
  • Lead initiatives involving system integrations (APIs, middleware, data exchanges) between platforms, applications, and external vendors.
  • Work closely with infrastructure teams to ensure technology solutions align with enterprise architecture, security policies, and performance standards.
  • Facilitate solution design sessions with cross-functional teams, ensuring that infrastructure and integration impacts are considered.
  • Develop business process documentation, data flow diagrams, and systems maps that reflect current and future states.
  • Participate in vendor evaluations, RFP processes, and system implementation planning.
  • Support QA/UAT efforts by defining test cases, validating results, and ensuring end-to-end workflows function as expected.
  • Monitor post-implementation performance and collaborate on continuous improvement strategies.
  • Mentor junior analysts and contribute to business analysis standards, tools, and frameworks.

Qualifications:

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Business, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience as an IT Business Analyst, with a focus on enterprise systems and integrations.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Demonstrated experience with business process modeling and requirements elicitation.
  • Strong understanding of API integrations, system interoperability, and middleware technologies.
  • Solid understanding of IT infrastructure components such as networks, servers, cloud platforms, and security protocols.
  • Experience with business and technical requirements gathering, use case development, and solution documentation.
  • Proficiency in tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Visio, Lucidchart, and MS Office.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred:

  • Master’s degree or MBA.
  • Certifications such as CBAP, PMI-PBA, ITIL, or TOGAF.
  • Experience with enterprise platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, Workday, Salesforce, SAP).
  • Familiarity with data analysis and reporting tools like SQL, Power BI, or Tableau.
  • Experience with cloud technologies (e.g., Azure, AWS) and modern DevOps practices.
