Hybrid 4 onsite in Maryland Heights, MO

Our client seeks a Business Systems Analyst to serve as the liaison between business stakeholders and technology teams.

The analyst will apply strong SDLC knowledge, facilitate elicitation across diverse stakeholders, produce high-quality user stories and functional documentation, and support initiatives across integrated applications. The role is not a people manager but will demonstrate leadership by owning initiatives, influencing stakeholders, and guiding less experienced analysts.

We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
