Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

Our special culture shines through when we have the opportunity to connect in person. That’s why we’re working in a model where teams are required to be together in the office 4 days per week.

As a Senior Business Analyst your responsibilities will include:

• As a senior business analyst on complex programs, work with business stakeholders to elicit and document requirements, collaborate on process models with an understanding of system capabilities, analyze data needs, assist in evaluating solutions, and ensure appropriate testing against requirements

• Work collaboratively within the Business Transformation team and with key colleagues across the firm including the Technology team and business subject matter experts in documenting functional, data, and technical requirements, and assist the project manager in developing project plans and business cases

• Facilitate workshops with both business and technical colleagues to gather information for the development of technical requirements

• Manage the prioritization of requirements for changes to our core systems

• Oversee data mapping for integration activity between applications

• Collaborate with project managers, developers, and other members of the cross-functional team

• Provide coaching and guidance to junior staff

At Doane Grant Thornton, you’ll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that’s when the magic happens!
