About The Position

The Business Systems Analyst position is a newly created role designed to support the organization’s ability to validate, reconcile, and interpret data across multiple systems, including Salesforce, D365, APIs, and other data sources. This role is responsible for analyzing raw data, identifying irregularities, and ensuring the accuracy of key performance indicators (KPIs) and operational reports. The Business Systems Analyst will actively test new data drops, investigate discrepancies, and verify that backend data structures are functioning as intended. Success in this position requires someone who is naturally curious, detail-oriented, and able to approach data challenges like solving a puzzle—using logical thinking to determine when information “doesn’t look right” and digging deeper to understand why. The role involves building dashboards, validating system outputs, and cross-matching data across platforms, including CSV files, relational databases and table structures, to ensure the end-user experience is reliable and accurate. The ideal candidate brings experience in IT, financial systems, or systems implementation, along with applied knowledge of data analysis tools and processes. This individual should be comfortable communicating with non-technical end users and collaborating with leadership. Flexibility, clear communication, and humility are important traits for success. While there is no defined upward career ladder, the role offers opportunities to work closely with regional leadership and gain broader organizational exposure.
