Job Description Summary

Job Description

Raymond James is seeking an entry-level IT Business Analyst to join the Office of the Chief Architect within Enterprise Technology. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to learn how a large financial services technology organization operates - from architecture governance and program structure to the enterprise technology portfolio that supports clients, advisors, and associates across the firm.

Working alongside the Chief Architect and senior architecture leaders, the IT Business Analyst helps structure and run the architecture program: organizing information, preparing analysis, coordinating across teams, and keeping governance and portfolio processes moving. The analyst gathers and synthesizes data from across Enterprise Technology, supports cross-functional working sessions, and produces the artifacts - reports, dashboards, briefings, and documentation - that leadership relies on to make sound decisions. This is a high-visibility role for an early-career professional who is curious, organized, and eager to grow toward business analysis, program management, or architecture disciplines.

Key Responsibilities:

Program Structure & Governance Support:

• Support the operating rhythm of the Office of the Chief Architect - helping plan, schedule, and document architecture review boards, governance forums, and leadership meetings.

• Maintain program artifacts such as roadmaps, decision logs, action-item trackers, and standards documentation, ensuring information is current, organized, and easy to find.

• Help define and improve repeatable processes - intake, prioritization, review, and reporting - that give structure to the architecture program.

• Track follow-ups and commitments from governance sessions and ensure owners, dates, and outcomes are captured and communicated.

Cross-Functional Analysis:

• Gather and organize information from teams across Enterprise Technology - product, engineering, infrastructure, security, and risk - to support architecture reviews and leadership decisions.

• Perform analysis of processes, systems, and data, identifying overlaps, gaps, dependencies, and opportunities for simplification across business and technology functions.

• Document business and technical requirements, current-state and future-state workflows, and impact assessments in clear, structured formats.

• Prepare summaries, comparisons, and recommendations that translate detailed findings into concise, decision-ready material for senior stakeholders.

Enterprise Technology Portfolio Support:

• Support portfolio reporting - collecting status, metrics, and health indicators across initiatives in the enterprise technology portfolio and assembling them into dashboards and scorecards.

• Help maintain inventories of applications, platforms, and capabilities, supporting efforts to rationalize the portfolio and align it with architecture standards.

• Assist with intake and demand analysis, helping evaluate how new requests and initiatives fit within existing strategy, standards, and investment priorities.

• Monitor progress against plans and flag risks, blockers, and schedule concerns to program leadership early.

Communication & Documentation:

• Produce clear, polished deliverables - presentations, briefing documents, meeting summaries, and process documentation - for audiences ranging from working teams to senior executives.

• Coordinate communication across stakeholders, ensuring the right people have the right information at the right time.

• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by suggesting better ways to capture, analyze, and share information.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Finance, or a related field; equivalent practical experience will be considered.

• 0-2 years of professional experience; internships, co-ops, or academic projects in technology, analysis, or project coordination are valued.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills - able to break down ambiguous questions, work with data, and draw out clear findings.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to summarize complex information for different audiences.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and comfort learning new tools quickly.

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and reliable follow-through on commitments.

• A collaborative, professional presence and the maturity to work with senior leaders and cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to financial services, wealth management, or another regulated industry through coursework, internships, or work experience.

• Familiarity with collaboration and work-management tools such as Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, or Microsoft Teams.

• Experience with data analysis or visualization tools (Excel modeling, Power BI, Tableau, or SQL basics).

• Understanding of agile delivery, the software development lifecycle, or IT project management concepts.

• Interest in enterprise architecture, technology strategy, or portfolio management as a career path.

Core Competencies:

• Analytical Thinking: Approaches problems methodically and supports conclusions with evidence.

• Communication: Writes and presents clearly; listens well and asks good questions.

• Organization & Ownership: Keeps work structured, meets deadlines, and follows through without prompting.

• Collaboration: Builds productive relationships across teams and levels of the organization.

• Curiosity & Growth: Eager to learn the business, the technology landscape, and new skills.
