Junior Business Analyst

Job Title: Jr. Business Analyst

Contract Length: 6+ months-Full Time Conversion

Location: 100% Remote

Client Overview:

Our client is seeking to build an onshore techno-functional support team to help transition work currently supported by offshore resources into a more scalable, high-touch domestic model. This team will sit close to business and technology stakeholders, supporting digital, application, and operational workstreams where strong communication, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly are more important than deep years of experience.

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career Business Analyst, technically curious college graduate, or junior techno-functional resource looking to grow into a long-term role. The client is specifically looking for bright, eager, coachable individuals who can be trained, converted, and grown into a durable internal team over time.

This role does not require a senior-level analyst background. The ideal candidate is early in career, highly curious, organized, and comfortable learning new systems quickly. Candidates may come from a junior BA background, STEM program, healthcare/IT internship, application support role, or an academic background involving data analysis, research, statistics, R, SPSS, SQL, or similar tools.

The position is intended to convert after approximately 6 months for strong performers.

8. Analytical mindset with the ability to identify patterns, ask good questions, and troubleshoot problems
9. Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, especially Excel; familiarity with SharePoint, Teams, Jira, Rally, Azure DevOps, or similar tools is helpful
10. Ability to support UAT, test case documentation, defect tracking, and business validation activities
