We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Lead Solutions Analyst to join the Global Digital & CyberSecurity team. YOUR TEAM. This is a senior-level individual contributor role responsible for bridging business needs and technology solutions. You will work closely with Product Owners, business stakeholders, developers, and project teams to analyze requirements, define solution approaches, and support the successful delivery of business applications and technology initiatives. Business requirements may be provided through BRDs, stakeholder discussions, existing processes, or strategic initiatives; however, those inputs are often incomplete, ambiguous, or lack the level of detail required for implementation. Success in this role requires the ability to identify gaps, ask thoughtful questions, gather additional information, and transform business needs into well-defined functional and technical requirements. The ideal candidate possesses strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to facilitate discussions, clarify requirements, document solution approaches, communicate risks and dependencies, and provide recommendations to support informed decision-making. This role requires a strong technical foundation and solution analysis mindset. The successful candidate will analyze business workflows, data flows, integrations, APIs, application functionality, and system interactions across multiple platforms. While technical depth is required, this is not a hands-on software development role. Instead, you will collaborate with developers, QA teams, and business stakeholders to create solution documentation and support successful project delivery.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• 7-10+ years of experience in technical analysis, business systems analysis, solution analysis, technology consulting, or related roles.
• Experience collaborating with Product Owners, business stakeholders, project teams, and technology resources.
• Demonstrated ability to identify incomplete requirements, ask clarifying questions, and work collaboratively to define solutions.
• Strong understanding of business process analysis, workflow design, data flows, integrations, and enterprise applications.
• Experience creating Technical Design Documents (TDDs), API specifications, process maps, workflow diagrams, data flow documentation, and functional specifications.
• Experience contributing to solutions involving Power Platform, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, SharePoint, Azure services, React applications, SQL Server, and enterprise integrations.
• Understanding of APIs, authentication methods, system integrations, relational databases, and enterprise application concepts.
• Ability to review, understand, and communicate technical designs without requiring hands-on software development responsibilities.
• Working knowledge of SDLC methodologies, Agile delivery practices, Azure DevOps, and solution governance processes.
• Experience facilitating workshops, discovery sessions, requirements reviews, and solution discussions.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, facilitation, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to tailor messaging for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and support multiple initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
