Collinwood is assisting our client, a well-known consumer brand, in its effort to hire an experienced IT Business Analyst. What you will do: In this role, you will ensure that business processes and supporting technology systems continue to meet the business project stakeholders' needs. This position is a key liaison between the technical IT staff that implements business process management technology (BPMT)-based solutions, and the line-of-business staff that performs the process work (manually or in conjunction with automated systems). The BA must be able to straddle the IT and business domains and communicate (or broker communications) between each side. This person is a hands-on worker who will capture business requirements, evaluate alternatives, recommend solutions, translate them into project plans, and manage the projects to completion. The BA should also be able to drive the creation of current and future state process models as needed to help facilitate consensus on process improvements involving technology implementations. This position deals with the tactical, day-to-day aspects of issue resolution, discovery, validation, documentation, and communication of business-related knowledge into technical process solutions that add stakeholder value, and then managing those technical solutions into business deliverables.
