  • Change Enablement and Adoption: Partner with change management to design adoption plans, readiness metrics, and stakeholder communications

  • Analytical and Critical Thinking: Utilize your analytical and critical thinking skills to ask pertinent questions, understand business drivers and needs, and bring clarity and precision through detailed business requirements.

  • Relationship Building and Influence: Build and sustain strong partnerships with key stakeholders and teammates, earning trust, fostering collaboration, and inspiring action through a positive, outcome-oriented mindset.

  • Communication and Collaboration: Use your strong communication skills to collaborate with working groups and accurately document business needs.

  • Continuous Learning: Strengthen your toolkit across transformation methods (e.g., Agile, Design Thinking, Lean practices), project/program management, and insurance domain expertise.

Required Qualifications:

  • 2 or more years of relevant work experience in business analysis.  Experience in Financial Services, especially Insurance would be an asset.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office products is required. Excel, Power Point, Confluence, and JIRA experience would be an asset.

  • Ability to Apply Lean methodology to define problems, measure current performance, analyze root causes, transform processes, and establish controls to sustain gains

  • Ability to Lead cross-functional workshops to define future-state operating models; quantify expected benefits and risks.

  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills while working in a face-paced environment with changing priorities.

  • Ability to develop positive relationships and effectively lead various sized groups to attain collaborative and innovative solutions.

  • Adaptable and great aptitude for change; reprioritize conflicting workloads and deliverables.

  • Excellent verbal & written communication skills, with ability to adjust for different audiences.

  • Experience with process mapping and/or process design

When you join our team:

  • We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
