IT Business Analyst – HCM Portfolio

As an IT Business Analyst within the HCM Portfolio, you will support the delivery of enterprise technology solutions by translating operational needs into clear, actionable functional requirements. You will be embedded within technical delivery teams throughout the solution lifecycle, partnering closely with business and technology stakeholders to ensure solutions are well-defined, aligned to business objectives, and delivered effectively.

In this role, you will work across a range of initiatives at varying levels of maturity, whether that’s helping shape requirements from initial concepts or refining and operationalizing existing inputs into delivery-ready requirements. You will serve as a key bridge between operational stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring clarity, feasibility, and alignment as solutions evolve. You will also support the HCM Portfolio Lead by helping maintain visibility into work in flight, dependencies, and roadmap considerations across the portfolio.

• Elicit, analyze, and validate business and functional requirements for enterprise technology solutions.
• Partner closely with technical leads and developers to ensure requirements are feasible, prioritized, and clearly understood.
• Lead backlog refinement and requirements readiness activities, partnering closely with IT and Project Leadership (as applicable) to ensure alignment with delivery priorities, scope, and delivery standards.
• Support solutions with evolving or partially defined scope, translating direction into actionable requirements as decisions mature.
• Conduct current state process assessments to understand operational needs and constraints.
• Document current and future state workflows, business rules, and functional requirements.
• Assist with defining success metrics, KPIs, and operational measures for delivered solutions.
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT), including validation of delivered functionality.
• Track and report on adoption, outcomes, and operational impact as needed.
• Facilitate and support stakeholder workshops and working sessions—preparing materials, guiding discussions where appropriate, and driving clarity, alignment, and follow through.
• Ensure documentation and solution delivery align with enterprise governance, compliance, and risk standards.
