Duration: 6 Months - Long Term

Hybrid Onsite: 4 days per week from Day 1, with a full transition to 100% onsite anticipated soon.

Background and Context
The BA in this role will support programs involving one or more of the following:

  • Evaluation, governance, and continuous improvement of system performance


Scope of Work

Requirements Elicitation and Analysis
  • Conduct data discovery and profiling on legacy source databases (Oracle, Dynamics/Dataverse).
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to define criteria for categorizing "active" data (to be migrated) versus "historical" data (to be archived) per client retention policies.
  • Document business rules governing procurement domains (Contracts, Suppliers, Risks).
Solution Design Support
  • Author detailed Source-to-Target Mapping (STTM) documents to translate legacy schemas to AWS/Azure target schemas.
  • Define cleansing logic to handle missing fields, standardize formats, and resolve duplicate records prior to extraction.
  • Translate business logic into technical specs for the engineering team.
Stakeholder Engagement and Change Management
  • Coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) cycles and test scenarios for migration sign-off.
  • Communicate status, scope, and technical constraints to non-technical business users.
Governance, Ethics, and Risk
  • Risk Mitigation: Document rollback protocols and on-demand data refresh workflows to mitigate operational downtime.
  • Data Privacy: Proactively identify Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to ensure appropriate encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Auditability: Ensure end-to-end data lineage is documented for compliance.
Documentation and Reporting
  • Maintain the Data Quality Rulebook, STTM documents, and UAT test scripts.
  • Document business requirements for the cutover phase and ongoing reporting.

  • 5+ years of BA experience with a proven track record leading large-scale legacy-to-cloud data migration workstreams.

  • Conceptual familiarity with core cloud data services across AWS (S3, RDS) and Azure (ADLS, Databricks).
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery environments
  • Demonstrated ability to elicit and document complex, ambiguous requirements in rapidly evolving domains
Technical Knowledge
