This position is located at 101 E. 15th St, Austin, TX.

TWC is not considering applications from individuals who require sponsorship for an employment visa, including those with H1B visas or those currently on student or postgraduate visas. You must be a Texas resident to work for the Texas Workforce Commission or willing to relocate to Texas.

WHO YOU ARE:

We are seeking a highly experienced, proactive, and collaborative Dynamics CRM 365 System Analyst (Systems Analyst V) to serve as a senior technical leader within our growing team. Reporting directly to the Dynamics CRM 365 Product Owner, you will be the primary custodian and senior architect of our Microsoft Dynamics CRM 365 environment and the Power Platform.

In this role, you will be responsible for the strategic health, configuration, enterprise security, and administrative governance of the platform. You will serve as the expert technical engine that translates complex business needs into scalable low-code/no-code solutions—leveraging Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse—ensuring we maintain a stable, highly optimized ecosystem across all TWC divisions.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

The Dynamics 365 System Analyst (Systems Analyst V) will perform advanced (senior-level) computer systems analysis work. This position may supervise the work of others. Works under minimal supervision, with considerable latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment.

At TWC, our mission is to deliver exceptional value, seamless services and innovative technology solutions to our customers, partners and internal business units. The Dynamics 365 System Analyst V will be physically and organizationally embedded within the Customer Care team. Because Dynamics 365 serves as a core enterprise engine for TWC, this senior role possesses a broad, cross-divisional mandate requiring high-level strategic oversight.

2. Advanced Platform Customization & Low-Code/No-Code Configuration (35%)

• Partner strategically with the Product Owner, Manager, and business unit leadership to translate high-level user stories and complex functional requirements into solid, scalable system configurations.
• Architect, create, and modify system components including custom tables (entities), columns (fields), forms, views, charts, and dashboards.
• Design, build, and optimize advanced automated workflows, modern business rules, and complex cloud flows using Power Automate.
• Design, build, and maintain sophisticated Model-driven and Canvas-based Power Apps to extend standard Dynamics 365 capabilities.
• Champion "Out-of-the-Box" (OOTB) functionality first, actively steering stakeholders and junior analysts away from redundant or high-maintenance custom code.

3. Cross-Divisional Leadership & Tier-3 Support (20%)

• Serve as the senior technical authority and primary point of escalation for complex technical queries and system bugs escalated from division-level super-users.
• Partner extensively with TWC’s internal IT Teams, data analytics teams, and external vendors to design and facilitate robust system integrations, providing Dataverse/Dynamics endpoint support for API connections and enterprise data pipelines.
• Keep pace with Microsoft’s semi-annual Release Waves; evaluate new features, assess enterprise impact on current configurations, and advise leadership on strategic opportunities for optimization.

• Extensive direct experience working within an Agile/Scrum team, interacting with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and Scrum Masters to drive technical delivery.
• A patient and customer-first service mentality; while this is a senior technical role, it sits in Customer Care and serves all of TWC.
• Exceptional analytical mindset with the ability to look at a complex business problem from any TWC division and architect a standard, elegant system solution.
• Ability to explain highly technical concepts, risks, and administrative limits to non-technical executive business partners in a respectful, clear manner.
