• Document business, functional, and technical requirements using the appropriate methodology (user stories, acceptance criteria, business requirements documents, functional requirements documents, traceability matrices, etc.).
• Analyze current-state processes, workflows, and data structures; develop future-state designs that improve efficiency, clarity, and standardization.
• Support software selection efforts including RFP/RFI development, vendor evaluations, scoring, and fit-gap analysis.
• Support backlog refinement, sprint planning, design reviews, and solution delivery.
• Participate in agile ceremonies (standups, reviews, retrospectives) and waterfall stage-gate activities (requirements signoff, design walkthroughs, test planning).
• Develop and maintain process maps, data flows, decision models, and documentation that align with enterprise standards.
• Support testing activities including UAT planning, test case development, defect triage, and validation of requirements.
• Assist with change management deliverables including training content, communications, SOPs, and go-live readiness activities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment, manage risks, and provide clear, concise communication throughout the project lifecycle.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of business analysis experience in both agile and waterfall environments, with 2+ years working on enterprise-level or cross-functional initiatives.
• Experience with software selection processes and enterprise software implementations (ERP, CRM, HCM, workflow platforms, or similar).
• Strong understanding of business process mapping, optimization, requirements gathering, and data analysis techniques.
• Experience in backlog refinement, user story creation and acceptance criteria, iterative requirements development, and agile ceremonies.
• Proficiency with BA tools (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart, Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, MS Office/365, Smartsheet).

Preferred:

• Experience in a PMO, enterprise technology environment, or large-scale transformation program.
• Experience in Professional Services delivery, Consulting, or Assurance, Tax, Audit, and Advisory environment.

• Professional certifications (e.g., CBAP, CCBA, PBA, AAC, CSPO, ICP, ACP, SAFE POPM) are a plus.
• Experience supporting change management and organizational readiness activities.
• Experience operating in highly regulated and secure environments, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.
