About the Opportunity:


Our client, a leader in Biotech/Pharma, is looking for a skilled Business Systems Analyst (G&A) / Junior PM to join their G&A Systems team for a 3-6 month engagement. This project involves delivering SaaS implementations and automation efforts specifically within Finance and Accounting workstreams. The role requires a versatile professional to pivot between deep functional analysis (approx. 70%) and tactical project management (approx. 30%). This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.



Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:


This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

• Defining business requirements, creating comprehensive test plans/scripts, and maintaining requirement traceability throughout the project lifecycle.
• Leading test planning efforts, including data staging, script execution, and tracking issue resolution.
• Managing small-to-mid-sized projects from initiation through stabilization using SDLC, Agile, or hybrid methodologies.
• Owning the management of risks, issues, scope, and communications, and facilitating steering committee meetings.
• Ensuring all deliverables align with SOX and/or GxP rigor, and validating adherence to IT principles regarding integration patterns, vendor security assessments, and SSO.

Required Skills & Experience:


We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

• 2-5 years of experience as a BSA or Functional Analyst.
• Deep expertise in defining business requirements and leading test planning efforts. This isn't a learning role-you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals, and comfortable "owning" a project.
• Proven familiarity with SOX environments.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
