About The Position
Sound Physicians is seeking experienced Senior IT Business Analysts to support strategic enterprise transformation initiatives that improve how we operate, scale, and serve our healthcare partners.

Success in this role means helping deliver enterprise solutions that are thoughtfully designed, thoroughly tested, data-informed, and aligned with organizational goals. You'll bring clarity to complex initiatives, foster collaboration across diverse stakeholder groups, and help ensure solutions are implemented with quality, sustainability, and long-term business value.
