  • Partner with stakeholders across technical and non-technical audiences to drive adoption
  • Operate with significant autonomy — identify gaps, propose solutions, and execute without a predefined playbook
  • Flex across programs as priorities shift, applying the same core skill set to different levels of ambiguity and structure

Qualifications

  • 5-8 years of experience in business process, governance, compliance, IT business analysis, or a related field.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred (any field); higher education experience as a student or employee is a plus.
  • Equivalent professional experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.

Required Skills

  • Comfortable building structure from ambiguity; doesn't wait to be told what to do
  • Strong process design, documentation, and analytical skills
  • Skilled communicator who adapts across technical and executive audiences
  • Self-directed, results-oriented, adaptable to shifting priorities
