• Work with project managers, product managers, technical teams, and vendors across planning, testing, and implementation.
• Document and communicate risks, assumptions, dependencies, and impacts.

Practice Contribution

• Lead complex analysis workstreams and, in support of the Manager, Business Analysis, guide other business analysts without formal supervisory authority.
• Contribute to business analysis practices, templates, standards, and knowledge sharing.

What you must have:

• Minimum six years of recent, senior‑level business analysis experience in information technology and business applications.
• Business and systems analysis experience in complex environments (e.g., enterprise IT, public sector, or post‑secondary).
• Experience applying BABOK‑aligned methodologies and techniques in Waterfall and Hybrid delivery environments.
• Experience researching and evaluating best practices, standards, and solution approaches used by post‑secondary institutions, government agencies, and other relevant organizations, and making evidence‑based recommendations.
• Strong experience with data initiatives, including data integration, reporting, analytics, or data quality.
• Experience with enterprise data platforms, data warehousing, or analytics environments (e.g., data lakes, reporting platforms).
• Experience with data governance, including data quality, classification, and stewardship.
• Experience with legacy system decommissioning or system transition initiatives.
• Experience with cloud platforms, cloud migration, or digital transformation, including Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Teams, or similar.
