Business Analyst – Power Platform & SharePoint
About The Position
We are seeking a hands-on Business Analyst to translate business needs into well-defined, user-friendly solutions across Microsoft Power Platform and SharePoint. The role works directly with business stakeholders, product owners, and technical teams to understand processes, identify business needs, document requirements, and support delivery from discovery through user acceptance testing and rollout. This is not a purely administrative Business Analyst role. The successful candidate will work closely with Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint to shape feasible requirements, map workflows, validate solutions, and communicate with end users and developers. The position supports solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Lists, and related Microsoft 365 tools, and helps stakeholders adopt new tools and processes through training and change-management support. The role requires working on-site in Washington, DC two days per week. The candidate must be based in or able to reliably commute within the DC metro area.
Requirements
- At least 3 years of experience as a Business Analyst, Technical Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, or in a similar role.
- Strength in requirements elicitation, including stakeholder interviews, workshops, process analysis, user stories, acceptance criteria, and requirements traceability.
- Hands-on working experience with Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint Online in a business-process, workflow, collaboration, or document-management environment.
- Experience translating business processes into Power Platform or SharePoint solution requirements, rather than only gathering notes for a technical team.
- Solid understanding of SharePoint lists, libraries, permissions, content organization, and workflow use cases.
- Experience documenting current-state and future-state processes using Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, or a similar tool.
- Experience supporting Agile delivery, including backlog management, story refinement, sprint planning, demos, and UAT.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical choices in business language.
- Ability to work on-site in Washington, DC two days per week and be based in or reliably commute within the DC metro area.
Nice To Haves
- Experience supporting federal, public-sector, regulated, or large enterprise environments.
- Experience with Power BI, Dataverse, Teams, Microsoft 365 governance, and/or ServiceNow.
- Familiarity with Power Platform environment management, permissions, connectors, solution lifecycle management, and governance considerations.
- Experience with SharePoint modernization or migration from legacy workflows, SharePoint Designer, or older SharePoint environments.
- Power Platform certification such as PL-900, PL-100, PL-200, or PL-400; CBAP, CCBA, PMI-PBA, CSM, or PMP is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Lead stakeholder interviews, discovery sessions, and working meetings to understand business processes, pain points, and desired outcomes.
- Elicit, analyze, prioritize, and document business, functional, and non-functional requirements.
- Translate business needs into process maps, user stories, acceptance criteria, use cases, and workflow documentation.
- Partner with Power Platform developers and SharePoint administrators to define practical solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Lists, and related Microsoft 365 tools.
- Review and improve current-state workflows, identifying opportunities to reduce manual work, improve approvals, and strengthen visibility into work and data.
- Work hands-on in Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint to prototype simple solutions, validate configuration, test workflows, and support troubleshooting.
- Facilitate backlog refinement, requirements reviews, demos, and stakeholder sign-off in an Agile delivery environment.
- Define and coordinate user acceptance testing (UAT), document test scenarios, track defects, validate fixes, and confirm delivered solutions meet business requirements.
- Create end-user and project documentation, including process diagrams, requirements documents, user guides, training materials, and release communications.
- Support adoption of new tools and processes through training, office hours, and practical change-management support.
- Coordinate with project leadership, business users, and technical teams; provide timely status updates and raise risks or dependencies early.
