The BCGEU requires a Business Analyst to work with the union's Development team in the Development & Records department for a one year term, with possible extension. This is a hands‑on role requiring someone who can take ownership of business analysis activities immediately after onboarding and learning about BCGEU's organization.

In addition to the software component, this role involves analysis and management of business process improvements.

The BCGEU has several modernization and transformation initiatives in the works, so the ability to independently organize and prioritize the development team's work is of critical importance to this role.

This position reports to the Director, Development & Records, and is ultimately accountable to the Executive Director, Technology Services.

• Partner closely with QA to define clear, testable acceptance criteria and support verification that delivered software meets agreed-upon specifications
• Document software features and business processes
• Support evaluation and integration of third‑party systems
