Remote Data Analyst R Programming Jobs in Ottawa, ON

Cayenta, a division of Harris; is seeking a Support Analyst who will help solve problems that matter.

At Cayenta, Support is about solving problems, building knowledge, and continuously improving how we serve our customers. As a Support Analyst, you'll investigate complex application issues, collaborate with teammates across the organization, and use modern tools-including AI-to help deliver accurate, efficient, and thoughtful solutions.

Customer issues can span application functionality, data, integrations, environments, databases, and communications. Every issue is an opportunity to learn something new. We don't expect you to know every answer on day one-we're looking for someone who is curious, analytical, and motivated to figure things out.

When you encounter something unfamiliar, we expect you to investigate. Search our knowledge base. Review documentation. Collaborate with teammates. Use AI to research, analyze, and challenge your thinking. Test assumptions and keep digging until you understand the problem.

Most importantly, when you learn something new, document it and share it. Every solved problem makes our entire team stronger.

This is your opportunity to deepen your expertise in the solutions used by our CIS customers while developing strong technical, analytical, and customer service skills.
Utility industry experience is required for this role.

• Enjoys solving complex problems and understanding how systems work.
• Takes ownership of issues and works toward solutions independently.
• Is resourceful and willing to use every available tool-including documentation, teammates, testing environments, and AI-to investigate unfamiliar problems.
