Job Description
- Our client, a large and well respected public sector organization in British Columbia, is embarking on a significant multi year technology transformation program.
- This initiative involves replacing a mission critical, custom built enterprise application with a modern solution expected to include multiple workstreams integrating both off the shelf and custom developed components.
- The program has recently received governance approval to progress to the next stage, and a Senior Business Analyst is needed to help shape the roadmap and solution approach for this high visibility initiative.
The Role
- As Senior Business Analyst, you will play a central role in defining the future state solution for a complex, organization wide program.
- Working closely with the Program Manager, Solution Architect(s), and other Senior BAs, you will engage deeply with both technical teams and a large, diverse user community to drive requirements gathering and inform strategic decision making.
- This is a program level BA role — not a project level one.
