What We Do

CRAFT (Corporate Rates and Forms) is expanding its capabilities to serve First American's internal business functions more broadly - including AI and automation, analytical frameworks, and process improvement. This Senior BSA contributes to that work by gathering requirements, mapping business processes, and developing proof-of-concept solutions that the CRAFT team uses to validate and shape the right approach for each engagement.

• Write and maintain documentation, including process maps, requirements, and POC summaries
• Identify inefficiencies and gaps in existing workflows and surface them with supporting analysis
• Work across engagement types as needed - AI and automation, data and analytics, and process improvement
• Other duties as assigned

What You'll Bring:

• BS degree or equivalent work experience
• Typically 4-7 years of directly related experience
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills - you ask questions before drawing conclusions
• Comfortable conducting interviews and working sessions with managers and their teams to gather requirements and map processes
• Active user of AI tools in professional work - beyond basic prompting; you use AI to get real work done
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; able to document complex processes and summarize findings for a non-technical audience
• Ability to manage your own work and deliver reliably across multiple concurrent assignments
• Experience with Cursor or other AI-powered productivity tools preferred
• Familiarity with process mapping, requirements documentation, or business analysis frameworks a plus
• Familiarity with data visualization or BI tools recommended
