Support strategic trade-off discussions regarding project scope, schedule, cost, and overall business value with leadership.
2. Business Process Redesign & Harmonization
Document current-state "as-is" business processes, mapping pain points, control mechanisms, decision thresholds, handoffs, and quantifiable inefficiencies.
Design future-state "to-be" processes aligned with target architectural capabilities, operational goals, and process standardization objectives.
Identify high-value opportunities for process harmonization and standardization across diverse lines of business.
Partner with solution architects and technical leads to conduct options analyses, feasibility reviews, and tool rationalization.
3. Data Modernization & Implementation Support
Provide analytical guidance on legacy data assessments, data profiling, complex data mapping, and data migration business rules.
Apply strong SQL and data analysis capabilities to assure data quality, governance, and reconciliation during data mock-loads.
Support test planning, test case development, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) validation cycles.
Collaborate with vendors and internal development teams to provide functional support during the build, testing, deployment, and hypercare phases.
Support Organizational Change Management (OCM) by helping develop training materials and driving platform adoption within frontline, unionized environments.
Qualifications

Technical Proficiencies: Highly proficient in SQL and data analysis methodologies (data modeling, mapping, profiling, and migration). Advanced knowledge of MS Office tools, including Visio, Excel, and Access.
Process Mastery: Demonstrated mastery in business process modeling notation (BPMN), requirements elicitation techniques (workshops, JAD sessions), and functional design specs.
Framework Awareness: Familiarity with KPI development, operational reporting metrics, and performance measurement frameworks.
Industry Context: Direct experience working within complex, multi-stakeholder public sector, transportation, rail, or transit environments is a significant asset.
Soft Skills: Superior facilitation, negotiation, and presentation skills; proven ability to influence stakeholders at both strategic executive levels and frontline operational levels.
Education: University degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
Assignment Deliverables
Detailed Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) and Functional Specifications.
Current-state and target future-state Process Maps and workflow blueprints.
Fully populated Maximo Configuration Workbooks and data mapping specifications.
Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTM).
Data profile findings, quality validation reports, and business-case inputs.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scenarios, test plans, and signed-off criteria logs.
