Freelance Data Analyst Ai Jobs in Riverside, CA (NOW HIRING)

KORE1, a nationwide provider of staffing and recruiting solutions, has an immediate opening for a Business Systems Analyst - AI Solutions & Automation in Brea, Ca. (Hybrid)
Position Overview
We are looking for a business-minded problem solver who understands how work gets done and enjoys using modern AI tools to improve it. This is not a traditional software engineering role. We're looking for someone who naturally starts with the business problem-not the technology. Someone who can sit with stakeholders, understand inefficient processes, identify opportunities for automation, and rapidly build practical AI-enabled solutions that employees actually use.
The ideal candidate has a background as a Business Systems Analyst, Business Analyst, Solutions Analyst, Technical Program Manager, or similar business-facing role and has independently built AI-powered automations or internal productivity solutions using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate, Python, SQL, APIs, or other modern AI platforms. We're intentionally seeking candidates who have embraced today's AI-assisted development ("vibe coding") rather than traditional enterprise software engineering approaches.
What Success Looks Like
Business users come to you with problems-not technical requirements. You ask questions, understand the workflow, identify inefficiencies, determine where AI or automation can help, then quickly prototype and deploy solutions that save time and improve productivity. Sometimes the answer is Power Automate. Sometimes it's Python. Sometimes it's Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT. Sometimes it's connecting multiple tools together. The technology matters less than your ability to solve real business problems with practical AI-enabled solutions.
