The Business Analyst II is responsible for identifying, shaping, and delivering artificial intelligence and automation opportunities across the business. This role leads process discovery, defines solution requirements, and builds the business case and ROI model that justify and measure each investment, translating business problems into agentic AI, generative AI, and workflow automation solutions.

• Partners with business stakeholders to identify, qualify, and prioritize AI and automation opportunities, and manages the intake and discovery process from idea to funded work.
• Maps current-state processes and designs future-state workflows, quantifying transaction volumes, manual effort, cycle time, handoffs, and error rates to size the opportunity.
• Builds the business case and ROI model for each opportunity - cost to deliver, expected benefit, payback period, and risks - then tracks realized benefits after deployment and reports results to leadership.
• Translates business problems into clear solution requirements for agentic AI, generative AI, and automation solutions, including user stories, acceptance criteria, decision logic, and exception handling.
• Designs, tests, and iterates prompts and agent instructions; evaluates model output for accuracy, relevance, tone, bias, and hallucination, and defines the human-in-the-loop checkpoints each use case requires.
• Defines and executes evaluation plans for AI solutions, including accuracy benchmarks, golden data sets, edge cases, and regression testing before and after release.
• Assesses data readiness for each use case and documents source systems, data quality gaps, and lineage in partnership with data engineering and governance teams.
