Full Job Description
Systems Analysts are responsible for the definition, refinement, design, testing, and implementation of highly technical requirements based on the business/functional requirements communicated by the Product Owner. System Analysts are also responsible for the preparation and publication of technical documentation (e.g., release notes) that support the continuous delivery of software. Systems Analysts are experts in identifying and analyzing defects within their products, and work with various members of a delivery team to ensure the deliverables produced align with the guidelines and standards defined by architects.

The Systems Analyst - Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is responsible for understanding user requirements and managing domain-specific systems across the enterprise contract ecosystem, specifically focusing on the Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform and its integrations with SAP Ariba and other internal applications. This role performs detailed technical system and data analysis to develop specifications representing both user interface configurations and data interface requirements. The Systems Analyst will configure and maintain Icertis Contract types, Templates, Clauses, Rules, Approval workflows, User permissions, and business rules based on evolving business requirements. Acting as a key bridge between business needs and technical execution, the position involves interfacing directly with software vendors to resolve complex technical issues, providing critical input into system designs, and assisting with cross-platform configurations. Operating within an Agile framework, the Systems Analyst ensures stable production support, seamless contract data flows, and the successful delivery of platform enhancements and migrations.

  • Monitors Icertis product releases, evaluates new features, and recommends continuous improvements to optimize contract lifecycle processes and enhance platform performance.
  • Collaborates with business stakeholders to gather requirements, document functional specifications, define process flows, and map end-to-end contract lifecycle processes.
  • Participates in all SDLC phases for ICI enhancements, integrations, and configuration changes: spanning requirements, design, development support, testing, deployment, and post-production validation.
  • Creates functional/integration regression testing scenarios during the unit testing phase, validates functional logic, and collaborates closely with technical teams during development.
  • Executes Promote-to-Production (P2P) activities, including migration of configuration changes, deployment validation, environment readiness checks, and post-deployment verification.
  • Conducts deployment readiness checks and coordinates with business teams for User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and final sign-off.
  • Partners with integration teams to define data mappings, API specifications, and interface validations for core upstream/downstream systems like SAP Ariba and internal applications.
  • Troubleshoots integration failures, validate payloads, monitor API logs, and ensure accurate, consistent data flow across the ecosystem.
  • Supports procurement-specific contract processes by validating supplier data and ensuring contract alignment with broader procurement workflows.
  • Leads data migration activities from legacy CLM systems or contract repositories into Icertis by analyzing legacy contract data structures, metadata, clause libraries, templates, and workflow logic.
  • Defines and documents comprehensive data mapping workbooks, performs data quality checks, identifies data gaps or legacy limitations, and works with business stakeholders to resolve inconsistencies.
  • Validates migrated records, templates, clauses, and metadata across environments while participating in cutover planning, mock migrations, final production migration cycles, and post-migration stabilization.
