• Translate business concepts, policies, and processes into technical items that development teams can understand and implement
• Work collaboratively with architects, developers, and vendors to ensure business intent is accurately reflected in technical designs
• Facilitate workshops, interviews, and working sessions to elicit requirements and validate solutions
• Challenge assumptions and help stakeholders clarify what problem they are truly trying to solve
• Provide clear, concise recommendations to senior leaders, supported by analysis and business rationale
• Manage stakeholder expectations by balancing business needs, timelines, risks, and delivery capacity
• Ensure requirements are traceable to business outcomes and strategic objectives
• Support business case development, cost-benefit analysis, and impact assessments
• Validate delivered solutions against business requirements and expected outcomes
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, simplification, and efficiency

Qualifications and Experience

• 7+ years of progressive experience in business analysis, solution design, or business consulting roles
• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Economics, Public Administration, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• IIBA CBAP certification an asset
• Proven experience translating complex business problems into structured, actionable requirements
• Strong understanding of business operations, process design, and organizational change
• Exceptional ability to understand and articulate business needs, risks, and opportunities
• Ability to design solutions that balance business value, practicality, and sustainability
• Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
• Ability to influence without authority and build strong relationships across business and technology teams
• Skilled facilitator of discussions involving diverse perspectives and competing priorities
