About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Business Process Analyst to play a critical role in integrating newly acquired service-focused businesses onto Proof’s proprietary platform. This is a highly visible, consulting-style role focused on discovering how a business operates, documenting its workflows, and designing the playbook for integration into Proof’s scalable technology ecosystem. You will regularly meet with business owners 60 days post-close, conduct onsite discovery, interview stakeholders, observe real-world workflows, map processes, identify gaps, and collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to translate operations into system requirements. You'll also present findings and recommendations to senior leadership. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguous environments, communicates with executive presence, and is energized by building structure from scratch. Experience in legal services, SaaS, marketplaces, or any workflow-heavy environment is highly valuable. This is a hybrid position based in the Detroit Metro area, combining local in-office work with approximately 25–50% travel.
