System Analyst III - Digital Solutions

The System Analyst III is a senior-level, non-technical IT professional responsible for analyzing, documenting, and translating business requirements into actionable development work. This role is critical in bridging the gap between business objectives and digital product development, ensuring that development teams have clear, well-defined user stories and features that align with product goals.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience working with digital products and agile development teams in a Scaled Agile (SAFe) environment. They must become a functional expert in the applications they support, gaining a deep understanding of business rules, user journeys, and system behaviors. While this is not a technical role, familiarity with data structures, data flows, system integrations, and application workflows is highly valuable.

This role requires the ability to support multiple applications, contribute to multiple development workstreams, and drive process improvements. The System Analyst III must proactively identify dependencies, engage the right teams, and communicate upcoming changes to leadership. Their ability to distill complex requirements into clear, concise development tasks ensures the success of our digital products.

Process Improvement & Change Management

• Identify opportunities for process improvements in how requirements are captured, refined, and delivered.
• Drive workflow optimizations, ensuring that user stories are well-structured, traceable, and aligned with Agile best practices.
