About the role
Job Description
Our client, a large and well-respected public sector organization in British Columbia, is embarking on a significant multi-year technology transformation program. This initiative involves replacing a mission-critical, custom-built enterprise application with a modern solution expected to include multiple workstreams integrating both off-the-shelf and custom-developed components.
The program has recently received governance approval to progress to the next stage, and a Senior Business Analyst is needed to help shape the roadmap and solution approach for this high-visibility initiative.
The Role
As Senior Business Analyst, you will play a central role in defining the future-state solution for a complex, organization-wide program. Working closely with the Program Manager, Solution Architect(s), and other Senior BAs, you will engage deeply with both technical teams and a large, diverse user community to drive requirements gathering and inform strategic decision-making.
This is a program-level BA role — not a project-level one. You will be expected to operate with a high degree of independence, bring structure to ambiguity, and build strong relationships across a broad stakeholder landscape.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and own requirements gathering across technical and business stakeholder groups Partner with Solution Architects to develop the future-state solution approach Support the design of a multi-year program roadmap in collaboration with the Program Manager and broader delivery team Build trust and sustained engagement with a large and diverse end-user community Bridge communication between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders Contribute to governance documentation and program-stage deliverables
Required
What You Bring
7+ years of Business Analyst experience with demonstrated program-level scope (not solely project delivery) Proven ability to engage and influence technical teams and solution architects Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable navigating complex, multi-stakeholder environments Experience working on large-scale system replacement or transformation programs Excellent written and verbal communication skills Ability to work independently and bring structure to early-stage, ambiguous programs
Nice to Have
Experience with grant management systems or public sector financial platforms
Background in higher education, research, or similarly complex institutional environments Familiarity with enterprise architecture concepts and solution design processes
Why This Role
High-visibility, strategically important program with long-term runway
Opportunity to shape the direction of a multi-year initiative from the ground up Collaborative team environment with experienced Program Managers, Architects, and BAs Strong potential for contract extension if the program advances to its next phase Work for one of BC's most respected public sector organizations
Logistics
Hybrid work — 2–3 days per week on-site at a Vancouver campus location
Remote work must be performed from within British Columbia 1-year initial term | Extension possible based on program progression
