4d•$100,000 - $130,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a Business Systems Analyst to serve as the bridge between business stakeholders, IT, and technology vendors. This individual will work with process owners and end users to understand business operations, identify opportunities for improvement, and translate those needs into clear, actionable solution requirements. The role is technology-agnostic. Solutions may involve existing enterprise applications, third-party platforms, Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365, custom development, automation, integrations, or a combination of technologies. The Business Systems Analyst will help ensure that technology decisions are driven by business requirements rather than by a predetermined platform. This position will work closely with business process owners, department managers, end users, IT leadership, technical teams, procurement stakeholders, and third-party vendors. The Business Systems Analyst will primarily own business analysis, requirements definition, process documentation, solution evaluation, vendor coordination, and stakeholder alignment, while technical architecture, development, and final technology decisions will remain with the appropriate IT leadership and technical resources.
