Business System Analyst

Overview

Our Edmonton-based client is looking for a senior Business Systems Analyst with a strong technical background to support process improvement, automation, and systems integration initiatives. The successful consultant will be expected to assess business processes, identify automation opportunities, estimate effort, design solutions, and execute technical deliverables when required.

Current projects include automating timesheet data flows between project management and HR systems, eliminating spreadsheet-driven manual processes, documenting business workflows, identifying operational inefficiencies, and recommending automation or system solutions.

The ideal candidate comes from a software development, systems integration, or technical consulting background and is comfortable leveraging AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor (or similar) to build integrations, automation workflows, and lightweight solutions. Experience with REWST is considered a nice-to-have but is not required.

This is an initial 3-month contract working 40 hours per week. The role is currently fully remote while the client finalizes a new office location, however consultant must be located in Edmonton for future onsite requirements.
