Acting as a bridge between business users and IT teams, the Senior Enterprise Solutions Analyst evaluates escalated issues, determines whether custom development or integration is required, and ensures solutions align with both operational needs and technical feasibility.

• Developing solution prototypes and process models to validate requirements and gather stakeholder feedback;
• Providing technical expertise to business leaders and ITS members regarding system implementation and usage;
• Remaining current with technology and industry trends and best practices; researching, analyzing, and evaluating applicability and feasibility of new technologies, changes or enhancements to current technologies, and effects of new methodologies;
• Translating business requirements into technical specifications and collaborating with developers to implement solutions; and
• Developing and executing change management strategies for system integration initiatives.

Skills

• A strong understanding of both business processes and technical systems;
• Proven experience with business analysis methodologies, frameworks, and tools;
• Strong knowledge and experience in requirements gathering, business process modeling, solution design, process improvement, and advanced data analysis;
• The ability to foster a collaborative and supportive environment that encourages innovation, teamwork and the sharing of knowledge;
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including relationship management and active listening;
• Strong negotiation and influencing skills with the ability to set and manage customer expectations;
• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills with a proactive approach;
• Strong analytical skills for system analysis and design with keen attention to detail;
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders;
• The ability to balance competing priorities and manage complex initiatives;
• The ability to work effectively within a team environment;
• Strong understanding of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Infosilem Academic, Infosilem Campus, Slate, and other enterprise software solutions supporting student administration and academic operations; and
• Proficiency in data analysis tools such as SQL, Excel and/or Power BI.
