Job Title: Senior Business Analyst

Status: Excluded Full-Time

Reporting To: Director, Technology & Data Strategy

Salary Range: $110,000 to $125,000 annually

Position Overview

The Senior Business Analyst is responsible for helping bridge organizational strategy, business operations, and technology investment decisions through business process analysis, future-state design, and operational transformation initiatives. This role will play a key part in the organization’s ongoing technology modernization efforts, with a primary focus on case management, membership processes, CRM modernization, and organizational capability development.

The Senior Business Analyst will partner closely with operational leaders, executive leadership, technical staff, and vendors to identify opportunities to improve organizational effectiveness, service delivery, and business outcomes through improved processes, technology alignment, and data-informed decision-making.

The Senior Business Analyst will lead current-state assessments, facilitate workshops, gather and analyze business requirements, design future-state workflows, develop business cases and value realization models, and help guide strategic decisions related to organizational processes and technology investments.

This role is well suited to a self-directed professional who enjoys solving complex operational challenges, facilitating meaningful organizational conversations, challenging existing assumptions, and helping organizations evolve their business capabilities in practical and sustainable ways.
