• Translate stakeholder input into clear, testable business and solution requirements, including functional, integration, reporting, security, and access requirements.
• Categorize use cases to identify opportunities for platform consolidation, standardization, and specialized solutions where appropriate.
• Research and evaluate alternative platforms against documented requirements, identifying capability gaps, risks, trade-offs, and high‑level implementation effort.
• Collaborate with Security, Cloud Engineering, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Enterprise Architecture teams to validate alignment with enterprise standards, including single sign‑on (SSO), role‑based access control (RBAC), logging, and data protection.
• Develop comparative analyses and present findings and recommendations to business stakeholders and leadership in clear, non‑technical language.
• Document assessment findings, requirements, and recommendations to support platform selection and future implementation planning.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Systems Analyst, Business Systems Analyst, or Business Analyst in an enterprise environment.

• Hands‑on familiarity with enterprise work management, collaboration, or workflow platforms, such as Smartsheet, Microsoft Planner, Microsoft Project, Power Platform, ServiceNow, or similar tools.
• Experience evaluating software tools or platforms, conducting gap analyses, and comparing potential solutions against business and technical requirements.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, written communication, and verbal communication skills.
• Experience facilitating stakeholder interviews, workshops, and cross‑functional discussions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience administering, automating, or migrating Smartsheet solutions.
• Familiarity with the Microsoft 365 and Power Platform ecosystems.
• Understanding of enterprise security, compliance, access management, and change management practices.
• Experience supporting platform consolidation, tool rationalization, application assessments, or enterprise software selection initiatives.
