Business Systems Analyst-Yardi

Edgewood Properties•Piscataway Township, NJ

4d•$110,000 - $145,000•Onsite

About The Position

Edgewood Properties, a leading real estate development and property management company founded in 1992 with corporate headquarters in New Jersey, is experiencing rapid portfolio growth and is seeking a Business Systems Analyst – Yardi to join its growing Information Technology team. This is a full-time, onsite position at Edgewood's headquarters in Piscataway, NJ, requiring presence five days per week. The company is consolidating its property management, accounting, and construction systems onto the Yardi platform. This role is the Yardi platform owner, responsible for configuration, administration, translating business needs into system configurations, and owning the platform post-implementation. The position also involves driving business process and workflow improvements across various teams, combining Yardi expertise with business analyst skills.

Requirements

Hands-on, day-to-day Yardi Voyager experience in real estate, property management, or a related industry — depth of platform knowledge matters more here than years of experience or title.
Experience configuring or administering Yardi modules — RENTCafé, Construction Manager, or Aspire experience is a strong plus.
Business-analyst experience: requirements gathering, process mapping, documentation, and UAT.
Demonstrated experience improving or redesigning business processes or workflows, not just documenting them.
Strong SQL and reporting skills.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience on a Yardi implementation or migration project, in-house or as a consultant.
Yardi certification(s).
Background in multifamily, commercial, or construction/development real estate.
Experience building or maintaining system integrations or APIs (e.g., middleware, Yardi Data Connect, Virtuoso Connectors, or similar) — this role owns what connects Voyager to other Edgewood systems going forward, since Yardi's included conversion tooling isn't built for that purpose.
Comfortable working with AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) to speed up data analysis, documentation, or troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

Serve as Edgewood's primary Yardi Voyager subject-matter expert and system administrator across property management, accounting, and construction modules.
Configure and maintain Voyager, RENTCafé, Construction Manager, Aspire Plus, YES, ID Verify, and ScreeningWorks Pro, including reports and dashboards.
Own ongoing system health — patches, upgrades, module enablement, and integrations with other Edgewood systems (e.g., Procore, Microsoft 365/Entra ID, BI and reporting tools) built and maintained after go-live, since Yardi's standard data conversion is a one-time onboarding load rather than an ongoing interface.
Drive business process and workflow improvement across Property Management, Accounting, Construction, and Leasing — both during the Yardi implementation and as an ongoing responsibility after go-live.
Partner with business stakeholders to gather requirements, document current- and future-state processes, and identify where workflows can be simplified, standardized, or automated.
Translate business needs into system configuration and process changes, and track the resulting impact on efficiency and data accuracy.
Proactively identify process and system optimization opportunities as the portfolio grows, rather than waiting for issues to be reported.
Lead user acceptance testing, data validation, and issue triage during and after go-live.
Act as the escalation point for Yardi issues, coordinating with Yardi support and implementation partners.
Develop training materials and lead training sessions for new hires and system changes.
