Job description

We are seeking a Level 3 Business System Analyst to support Director General Human Capital Management Modernization – Military (DGHCMM-M). This role will help map a designated Military Personnel Management System (MPMS) capability — including its end‑to‑end workflows, data, and system integration dependencies — to build a clear, enterprise‑wide view of that personnel management operation.

This work supports the CAF's broader MPMS modernization initiative, which aims to integrate currently fragmented personnel functions (career and posting management, qualifications, leave, medical, and readiness attributes) into a coherent, data‑driven enterprise capability, in alignment with the 2022 CAF Digital Campaign Plan and the 2024 CDS/MND Directive on Reconstitution.

You will work collaboratively with a Level 3 Business Analyst and DGHCMM-M stakeholders to document current ('As-Is') and future ('To-Be') processes, define data and system integration requirements, and produce artifacts that inform modernization planning.

Key Responsibilities

• Map a designated MPMS business capability, including end‑to‑end workflows, decision flows, and operational dependencies.
• Document As-Is processes and evaluate existing procedures, legacy systems, and application subsystems.
• Define and document MPMS data entities, data structures, interfaces, and integration dependencies across manual, automated, legacy, and future systems.
• Develop and maintain data dictionaries and conceptual data models supporting interoperability and data quality.
• Support requirements elicitation and ensure requirements are traceable to mapped capabilities and processes.
• Assess solution options, trade‑offs, and required modifications to automated processes.
• Support governance, validation, and methodology alignment activities to ensure consistent, auditable deliverables.

Deliverables You'll Contribute To

• Kick‑off meeting within 2 weeks of contract award.
• Signed Non‑Disclosure Agreement prior to commencement of work.
• Enterprise Capability Definition Report.
• As‑Is/To‑Be Process Mapping Report.
• Data Inventory and Data Dictionary.
• Conceptual Data Model.
• Interface and Integration Overview Report.
• Business and System Requirement Specification Report.
• Process Optimization and Improvement Assessment.

Work Arrangement & Conditions

• Hybrid role: services are delivered primarily from a private Canadian residence using a DND‑provided networked laptop and Defence Wide Area Network contractor account (for processing up to PROTECTED Binformation).
• Resource must attend a Canadian Forces Base in person to complete Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Card registration.
• A Visit Clearance Request (VCR) must be initiated prior to any visit to NDHQ Carling Campus, and applicable site policies must be followed.
• Resource is not an employee or servant of Canada.
• All deliverables, reports, data, and materials produced remain the property of Canada and must be safeguarded; no DND/Government of Canada logos or insignia may be used on personal business materials.
• Meetings may be recorded for transcription purposes, in accordance with the Defence 365 Teams Meetings Recordings Acceptable Use Policy.
• Access to classified material is restricted until the required security clearance level is obtained and CSP registration is maintained.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience as a Level 3 Business System Analyst (per TBIPS Stream 4: B.6 standards).
• Experience with business process modelling (e.g., BPMN).
• Experience with data modelling and system integration (e.g., SQL, Java, C/C++).
• Experience with data analytics tools is an asset (e.g., Python, R, Microsoft tools).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms is an asset (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud).
• Familiarity with ERP systems is an asset (e.g., SAP, Oracle).
• Eligible to obtain or currently hold an Enhanced Reliability security clearance.
