The Business Systems Analyst analyzes data-processing problems across science, engineering, business, and other fields for application to electronic data-processing systems. The role analyzes user requirements, procedures, and problems to automate or improve existing systems, and reviews computer-system capabilities, workflows, and scheduling limitations.

This position supports a recurring reporting cycle by uploading and validating data, generating and distributing reports, resolving data questions, supporting stakeholders, documenting procedures, and identifying opportunities to simplify or automate manual work. The role is a 12-month contract, based onsite in Plano, Texas.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 2–3 years of experience in reporting, data operations, business analysis, or a comparable role with recurring deliverables.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookup and reference functions, conditional logic, and working with large datasets.
• Demonstrated accuracy and attention to detail in a deadline-driven, repeating work cycle.
• Clear, professional written communication suitable for stakeholder-facing email.
• Ability to work independently on a fixed schedule with limited day-to-day supervision.

Responsibilities

• Upload source data into the reporting environment on a fixed daily schedule and confirm completeness before reports are generated.
• Reconcile uploaded data against source systems; identify missing, duplicate, or out-of-range values and correct or escalate them before publication.
• Produce daily, weekly, and monthly reports from established templates, ensuring figures, periods, and formats are consistent with prior cycles.
• Distribute completed reports by email to defined stakeholder lists on schedule, with clear subject lines and a short summary of notable changes.
• Investigate reported errors and data questions, trace them to the source system or upload step, coordinate with the data owner, and track issues through resolution.
• Respond to stakeholder questions about report contents, metric definitions, cut-off timing, and methodology; escalate matters requiring analytical judgment to the reporting manager.
• Maintain written procedures for recurring reports, including data sources, steps, recipients, and schedules, to support continuity during absences.
• Identify repetitive manual steps in the reporting cycle and propose simplification or automation opportunities to the reporting manager.
