Perficient currently has a career opportunity for a Sr. Business Analyst in our Cincinnati, Ohio office.
The role of the Senior Business Analyst is for individuals passionate about identifying and delivering the right business solution for each client. Our Business Consultants have a keen business orientation with an understanding of how technology can be effectively applied to meet a variety of business needs.
Our Business Consultants fill a number of different roles on our project teams working with a variety of technologies for a wide range of clients. The specific responsibilities vary for each client and each project. Key to the success of our Business Consultants is the willingness and desire to quickly learn the client’s industry and the unique requirements of each engagement and to fill whatever role may be required to best support our client’s needs.
A Business Consultant thrives in challenging environments and accomplishes difficult assignments without significant supervision and instruction. Our Consultants are accountable for delivery, complete goals on time, practice strong attention to detail and persevere through tough obstacles.
The Senior Business Consultant will be involved in the strategic planning of an engagement or helping the client make decisions about their future IT direction. Once a project has begun, the Senior Business Consultant will facilitate key requirements with stakeholders and customers. The Senior Business Consultant may be responsible for functional designs, detailed designs and system mapping, wireframes, requirement specifications, prototypes and other documentation. The Senior Business Consultant will also be responsible for coordinating and facilitating meetings and working sessions with clients, and helping to connect multiple stakeholders together around a common technology or program.
The Senior Business Consultant works with Project Managers and Delivery Directors to assist with daily operations exercising time management, communication and collaboration in a fast-paced environment to ensure the successful delivery of projects. The Senior Business Consultant will interface with Perficient technical and business delivery personnel, as well as vendors and customers on a regular basis. May mentor junior Consultants.
