Senior Business Analyst

Specific Responsibilities

• Backlog Analysis & Demand Cataloging – Analyzes and reconciles the 600+ open ServiceNow enhancement and incident items to identify patterns, inform requirements, and catalog the variety of demand EDI needs to address — including a growing volume of AI requests requiring Snowflake data.
• Intake Formalization & AI/Snowflake Enablement – Formalizes the intake process for new AI requests, with specific focus on requests requiring Snowflake data; defines criteria and routing, and designs clean workflow handoffs between EDI and partner teams across both agile and waterfall delivery methods.
• Operating Model Support – Supports development and rollout of standardized operating templates and process guidelines across EDI's data and analytics platforms (Snowflake, Power BI, EDW, Cognos, Data Catalog); coordinates discovery sessions with platform owners and documents current- and future-state processes.
• Business Partnership – Partners with EDI's Business Engagement Partners and Data Process/Quality Experts to translate incoming business requests into structured work with clear scope, owners, and timelines enabling effective prioritization before work is queued.
• Facilitation & Reporting – Facilitates cross-functional working sessions and triage meetings, driving agendas, capturing decisions and action items, and following through to closure; maintains the status and reporting artifacts EDI leadership relies on for prioritization decisions.
• Problem Solving – Identifies process gaps or bottlenecks across EDI’s methodology workflows and recommends fixes, producing tangible deliverables (templates, playbooks, trackers) usable across EDI's agile-like and waterfall data projects.
• Project & Process Management – Applies project management best practices to plan and manage process-improvement initiatives end to end — defining scope, milestones, and success criteria; organizing and leading status and working meetings; tracking risks, issues, decisions, and action items; and instilling accountability across contributors and stakeholders.

• Proficiency in Excel and Smartsheet or similar tools.
