RQ11735 - Business Analyst - Senior

Description:

Partners with multiple ministry stakeholders, program areas, subject-matter experts, operational teams, and project leads to assess current training practices and support the transition to a new training and operating model. The role combines senior business analysis, facilitation, training development, communications, and change-management expertise to turn diverse and sometimes ambiguous stakeholder input into a practical path forward. The Senior Business Analyst documents current-state processes and pain points, assesses impacts and readiness, develops transition and adoption approaches, and prepares clear recommendations for leadership. The role creates and delivers high-quality training and operational documentation, supports knowledge transfer and post-implementation adoption, and monitors feedback and outcomes to improve the model over time. Success is measured not only by completion of project deliverables, but by stakeholder understanding, sustained adoption, and the ability of ministry teams to operate effectively under the new model.
