• Investigate and reverse-engineer existing Jira workflows across boards and projects, including statuses, transitions, conditions, validators, and post-functions
• Create clear, accurate current-state (as-is) process maps and workflow documentation in Lucidchart
• Analyze the full inventory of production workflows to identify commonalities, redundancies, and patterns that can be consolidated
• Design a proposed future-state model that reduces production workflows to four standard workflow types, with clear rationale and mapping from old to new
• Provide practical, prioritized recommendations for consolidation, standardization, and cleanup, including risks and considerations for migration
• Share findings and visuals with BSA Practice and IT Operations stakeholders

What you bring:

• Currently enrolled in a post-secondary program (e.g., Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Business Technology Management, or related discipline)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex systems and spot patterns
• Proven ability to work independently, manage your own time, and drive a project forward with minimal supervision
• Comfortable building process flows and diagrams in Lucidchart or strong ability to learn quickly
• Clear written and visual communication for documenting processes and recommendations
• Exposure to Jira and Confluence as a user or administrator, including familiarity with workflow concepts (statuses, transitions, workflow schemes) - asset
• Understanding of business analysis or process improvement concepts (e.g., BPMN, workflow standardization, Lean thinking) - asset

Compensation: Typical hiring range $23.00-$30.00 CAD per hour; broadband up to $37.00/hour.
