- Mentor, lead, and manage (if necessary) more junior team members, including other business analysts and contractors.
- Help shape and implement strategic roadmaps for one or more business systems.
- Partner with project stakeholders by analyzing all requirements to formulate business specifications and translate those into application functionality, deciding when to advocate and when to compromise to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution.
- Create high-level (functional) designs that are accurately documented and mapped to business or architectural requirements, and communicate those designs to the technical development teams.
- Document and execute system, performance, and user-acceptance test plans to ensure that the system changes are error-free and meet the approved requirements and designs.
- Analyze and work with stakeholders to prioritize application defects/enhancement and participate in the change management process.
- Develop and improve mixed-media training materials and deliver training and guidance to end-users of the business systems.
- Manage projects involving business system implementations, upgrades, and process improvements including setting of project timeframes and priorities.
- Develop and assist project team members with project estimates and detailed work plans.
- Interact with other staff as needed to ensure smooth and efficient operation of business information systems using a diplomatic, professional and service oriented approach, including written correspondence, technical consultations, and meetings.
