About The Position
Join our team of passionate pension and benefits professionals dedicated to helping members build a secure financial future! Plannera Pensions & Benefits (Plannera), formerly known as the Public Employees’ Benefits Agency, is on the lookout for talented individuals to become part of our dynamic team of 180 employees. Headquartered in Regina, Saskatchewan, Plannera oversees $17 billion in assets across 11 pension plans and 16 benefits programs in the province.

We serve over 900 employers and more than 112,000 plan members, everyone from small-town firefighters to crown corporation executives. Plannera is seeking a Business Analyst who brings technical precision and strong analytical instincts to complex, regulated work. You will be working at the centre of a product-led delivery model, translating strategic product intent into precise functional and non-functional specifications that drive real outcomes for pension plan members and employers across Saskatchewan.

The work is complex, the stakes are real, and the opportunity to shape how we deliver is genuine.
