The Role

We are seeking a highly analytical, independent, and driven Senior Business Analyst to act as a strategic partner across a diverse portfolio of Order-to-Cash (OTC) initiatives over a 1-year contract.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently lead current-state and future-state discovery for various OTC special projects, adapting quickly to new initiatives such as system migrations, acquisitions, or compliance audits.

• Elicit, document, and submit comprehensive business and technical requirements for system enhancements, and process changes and automation.

• Utilize advanced process mapping techniques to document workflows and data flows across OTC areas.

• Develop, standardize, and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), technical training materials, and M&A integration intake forms/playbooks.

• Identify structural bottlenecks, manual redundancies, and operational inefficiencies, proposing scalable solutions to remove red tape.

• Develop and present optimization proposals to leadership, supported by root-cause analysis, resourcing impacts, and clear ROI data.

• Actively drive the rollout of approved initiatives, collaborating closely with IT, Customer Service, AR Managers, and project management offices.

• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for process or system changes, identifying testing gaps and tracking defect resolutions.

• Perform other strategic duties as assigned to support evolving departmental priorities.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Senior Business Analyst, Process Improvement Specialist, or similar strategic role with a proven track record of driving cross-functional projects.

• Exceptional analytical skills; proven ability to independently identify root-cause issues, gather technical requirements, and build compelling business cases.

• Highly self-directed with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities, drive project methodologies forward autonomously, and confidently navigate ambiguity.

• Expert ability to write comprehensive SOPs, create robust training materials, and present complex ideas clearly to leadership and operational teams.

• Advanced expertise with Excel or Google Sheets, PowerPoint prGoogle Slides, and process mapping tools (e.g., Lucidchart, Visio).

• University degree in Business, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field.

• Bonus Points: Deep domain expertise in Order-to-Cash (OTC), Accounts Receivable, Cash Applications, or Treasury processes. Hands-on experience with major ERP system conversions, M&A integrations, AI implementations, or organizational compliance initiatives.

• Working Conditions: Primarily in an office environment.

• Employment Details: This is a salaried, corporate contract position (1-year term).
