Senior Business Analyst

Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship; MXA Solutions cannot sponsor or transfer visas for this role. Direct applicants only: no agencies, third-party recruiters, or intermediary corp-to-corp submissions.

About the role

MXA Solutions is seeking a senior Business Analyst for our client to lead discovery in its Demand Management process.

You’ll work a prioritized queue of ideas, partnering with a Business Relationship Manager (BRM) on each. Through recurring sessions with process owners, you’ll build out the current state, scope, user stories, and stakeholder picture. You’ll then secure sign-off from process owners and the executive sponsor before handing off to Enterprise Architecture, and stay available to clarify requirements during solution definition. This is an upstream, solution-neutral role. You won’t configure systems, select platforms, or manage delivery.

What you’ll deliver for each initiative

• A validated problem statement tied to business value
• Refined scope, including boundaries, assumptions, and impacts
• Current-state process maps, where a process exists
• High-level business user stories
• An up-to-date stakeholder registry, maintained with the BRM
• Traceability from problem to value to scope to requirements

What you bring

• 5+ years as a Business Analyst, with real experience in front-end discovery or intake, not only delivery-phase requirements
• A track record of leading and facilitating interviews and workshops with stakeholders from front-line staff to senior leaders
• Skill at separating underlying needs from proposed solutions, and at redirecting “we need system X” back to the problem
• Hands-on experience with current-state process mapping (Visio, Lucidchart, or similar) and business user stories
• The ability to bring stakeholders to agreement and sign-off without direct authority
• Clear, concise writing that others can act on without you in the room

Nice to have

• Experience with enterprise demand management, intake, or portfolio governance
• Experience working with BRMs and Enterprise Architects
• Familiarity with structured process-modeling standards (BPMN or ISO-aligned)
• CBAP, CCBA, or PMI-PBA certification
