Count on us. Our "we-care" culture is more than just a motto; it's a promise. From day one, we prioritize your growth, well-being, and success. You can count on us to support your career journey and help you achieve your professional goals. Join us.

As a Business Analyst on our Technology Services team, you'll be part of the Management Consulting (MC) Technology and Innovation fusion team. You'll help MC turn practice needs and ideas into solutions that deliver measurable value. You'll report into Technology Services and work day to day with MC Product Managers, Product Owners, Service Design, architects and developers in a product-centric operating model. 

Strong analysis and problem-solving skills are a must. You'll analyze, document and design solutions to business and technology problems, from planning and design through configuration and launch. You'll also use AI-enabled tools and practices to speed up discovery, improve quality and shorten the time to value. The role calls for knowledge of business processes, systems configuration and integration, agile and product ways of working, and responsible use of AI. 

Your role.

• Discovery and intake: Partner with Product Managers to frame business problems, evaluate new ideas, and provide business/process analysis that informs feasibility, sequencing and dependencies, partnering with the Solution Architect on technical feasibility. 

• Requirements: Elicit, analyze and document business requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria, using the Discovery Agent and other approved AI tools where available and practical. 

• Solution design: Analyze end-to-end processes, develop business requirements and solution options, and collaborate with Service Design and Solution Architecture to shape business, experience and technical solutions. Where it helps, use prototypes, including AI-generated ones, to confirm requirements with business partners early. 

• Validation and quality: Review requirements, business rules and deliverables for accuracy and completeness, whether written by hand or generated by AI. 

• Partner with the Product Manager and Product Owner to refine the backlog, provide analysis that informs prioritization and MVP scope, and keep work tied to MC OKRs and value streams. 

• Process improvement: Work with Service Design to turn journey maps and service blueprints into process improvements, business rules and technology requirements across MC workflows. 

• Testing and UAT: Design test scenarios and acceptance criteria (using AI-assisted test generation where appropriate), coordinate stakeholders through UAT, and facilitate sprint reviews and demos. 

• Cross-functional collaboration: Act as liaison among MC stakeholders, the product team, architects, developers and third-party vendors throughout the product lifecycle. 

• Outcomes and adoption: Support the Product Manager and Product Owner in defining success measures and provide analysis to track adoption and business outcomes after launch. 

• Responsible AI: Follow firm AI guardrails and acceptable-use policies, and apply sound judgment about when AI adds value and when traditional methods work better. 

• Ownership: Take personal responsibility for outcomes, follow through on commitments, and manage your work with minimal oversight in a matrixed environment. 

The qualifications.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Finance/Accounting, or a related field required. 

• 5+ years of experience across the SDLC required; consulting or professional services experience strongly preferred. 

• Strong foundation in requirements elicitation, process analysis and modeling, and testing. 

• Experience with Agile and product ways of working, including backlog refinement, user stories, acceptance criteria and partnering with Product Managers and Product Owners. 

• Familiarity with, or strong interest in, AI-assisted analysis tools, plus the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated output. 

• Data literacy (SQL, data modeling) a plus. 

• Strong facilitation, decision-making, time management and organizational skills; able to lead through influence. 

• Proven analytical and problem-solving skills. 

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain ideas and solutions in business-friendly language. 

This is an exempt position, so you may have to work hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week.
