Position Overview:

As a Senior Business Analyst, you will support the modernization of secure, scalable, and integrated SaaS-based applications and platforms. You will work closely with business and technical teams to translate user needs and operational requirements into clear documentation and deliverables. This includes preparing governance materials (e.g., ARB submissions), facilitating requirement gathering sessions, supporting solution design, and ensuring that implementations align with public sector standards and organizational priorities. This role requires strong analytical, communication, and coordination skills to drive clarity and alignment across stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead business analysis activities for enterprise modernization initiatives, including the transition from legacy systems to cloud-based platforms (e.g., supply chain, procurement).
• Develop detailed business requirements, user stories, and process maps to support application modernization, workflow digitization, and data integration projects.
• Act as a key liaison between business units, architects, developers, and governance bodies to ensure alignment between business needs and technical designs.
• Conduct current-state assessments and gap analyses, identifying improvement opportunities across business processes, service delivery models, and digital user journeys.
• Support the governance and approvals process through the Architecture Review Board (ARB), including the development of business cases, checkpoint artifacts, and impact assessments.
• Collaborate with ARB to ensure initiatives align with enterprise IT strategy, principles, and roadmaps.
• Prepare and maintain documentation required for project approvals, including stakeholder briefings, options analysis, benefit realization tracking, and risk registers.
• Lead or support stakeholder engagement sessions, workshops, and user interviews to gather business needs and translate them into actionable documentation.
• Develop and maintain process documentation such as BPMN diagrams, SOPs, and use case models to enable change management, training, and continuous improvement.
• Support organizational readiness and change adoption activities, working closely with program managers and business leads.
• Ensure traceability between business requirements, system functionality, and testing activities throughout the solution delivery lifecycle.
• Participate in procurement activities including RFx development, vendor demos, evaluation criteria design, and responses analysis.

Skills & Qualifications:

• 8+ years of progressive experience in business analysis, including work on complex, multi-stakeholder digital transformation initiatives.
• Proven experience supporting enterprise modernization programs across one or more domains: procurement, financials, content/document management, or IT service delivery.
• Strong understanding of public sector governance, particularly around architectural compliance, digital standards, and risk management processes.
• Experience preparing governance documentation and leading initiatives through checkpoint gates such as ARB.
• Ability to synthesize business needs into clear requirements, user stories, and decision support artifacts for technical and executive audiences.
• Experience with workflow/process improvement, lean analysis, and business process modeling (e.g., BPMN).
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies, sprint-based planning, and hybrid delivery approaches in the public sector context.
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate cross-functional teams, and deliver quality work within tight timelines.
• Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to drive consensus and articulate value.
