We are looking for an experienced and solution-oriented Intermediate Business Analyst to join our team in supporting cross-functional initiatives that drive operational improvements and strategic change. Working within a manufacturing organization, this role offers the opportunity to lead medium-complexity analysis efforts, manage stakeholder expectations, and define solutions that enhance business capabilities.

Create detailed process flows, swimlane diagrams, and interaction models that illustrate current operations and support future-state design decisions.

Manage requirements from identification through validation and approval, ensuring alignment with business goals and traceability through implementation and testing.

Evaluate the operational and organizational impact of proposed changes and provide clear recommendations that balance efficiency, risk, and feasibility.

Partner with system architects, developers, and product owners to ensure solutions meet the documented requirements and align with user expectations.

Contribute to planning activities, timelines, and deliverable tracking across initiatives. Help identify dependencies, issues, and escalation needs.

Define test conditions and expected outcomes. Support business users during User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and verify that solutions meet the original requirements.

Collect and analyze feedback from users post-implementation to identify system enhancement opportunities and lessons learned.

Develop end-user training materials and independently deliver training sessions to ensure users understand new processes, functionality and are prepared for successful adoption.
