Business Systems Analyst
About The Position
Raising The Village (RTV) is seeking a Business Systems Analyst to join their team and serve as the connective tissue between technical teams and program stakeholders. This role is crucial for ensuring RTV’s internal platforms, workflows, and data systems are technically coherent, scalable, and aligned with program logic as the Venn platform scales across multiple countries and partner organizations. The Business Systems Analyst will translate business requirements into system-ready specifications, collaborating closely with Business Analysts, the Platform Architect, Data Engineering, MEL, and Applied Learning teams. The Venn platform operates in challenging low-connectivity, resource-constrained environments, requiring specifications that account for offline-first workflows, constrained infrastructure, and program variations across different countries and partner organizations. Within the partnership between the Business Analyst and Business Systems Analyst, the Business Analyst focuses on business requirements definition, while the Business Systems Analyst is responsible for technical specification, system logic, and data design.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 7+ years of experience in systems analysis, technical requirements gathering, or enterprise workflow design.
- Demonstrated ability to translate business and program requirements into structured, buildable technical specifications.
- Strong understanding of data modeling, system logic, and integration patterns.
- Working knowledge of data engineering concepts and cloud platforms.
- Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, and process maps using recognized documentation standards.
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent requirements streams and maintain coherence across them.
- Strong facilitation skills; comfortable leading sessions with diverse stakeholder groups including senior leaders and technical specialists.
