Description:
Remote
Our client is seeking a highly proactive and versatile Business Systems Analyst (BSA) to support senior leadership and cross-functional teams with strategic planning, portfolio operations, communications, and organizational execution. This is not a traditional technical BSA or Project Manager role. The ideal candidate operates as a strategic generalist, helping create structure around priorities, connect initiatives across a portfolio, and transform ideas into actionable plans, executive communications, dashboards, and operational deliverables. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable supporting strategic initiatives and driving day-to-day execution. They will proactively identify gaps, follow through on open items, and help ensure organizational priorities remain aligned and moving forward.
Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
