Job Description

Job Description:

Client's Business Technology Solutions (BTS) team partners closely with US Commercial Finance to support and enhance the systems and data capabilities that underpin revenue management, rebate processing, and commercial reporting. This role sits at the intersection of business and technology, working across a portfolio of commercial platforms to translate complex business needs into well-defined system solutions.

As an IT Business Analyst, you will serve as a key liaison between business stakeholders and technical delivery teams, supporting the full lifecycle of system changes, from requirements gathering and design through testing, deployment, and documentation. You bring a structured, analytical mindset and are equally comfortable leading a requirements workshop, writing a user story, or digging into a data discrepancy with SQL.

Primary Responsibilities:

Partner with business stakeholders to understand, capture, and translate complex commercial and finance requirements into clear, actionable system specifications.

Support project coordination activities including milestone tracking, status reporting, and cross team dependency management to keep delivery on track

Operate as an effective member of blended delivery teams, supporting end-to-end system changes through Client's System Lifecycle (SLC) framework, from initiation and design through testing and deployment

Analyze proposed system changes and new technical opportunities; assess and clearly communicate impacts, risks, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences

Perform hands-on data analysis using SQL to investigate issues, validate outputs, and deliver accurate, audience-appropriate insights across a range of business and technical stakeholders

Contribute to business case development for new initiatives; proactively identify and recommend opportunities for process improvement and operational efficiency

Create and maintain high-quality system documentation- including functional specifications, process flows, data dictionaries, and knowledge base articles to support a robust and shared understanding of supported applications

Elicit, author, and refine agile user stories, requirements specifications, business process documentation, and solution design artifacts

Plan, coordinate, and execute testing activities - including system integration testing (SIT) and user acceptance testing (UAT) - to ensure delivered solutions meet defined business acceptance criteria

Ensure all delivery activities adhere to Client's division and corporate compliance standards, including change management and documentation requirements in ServiceNow and Kneat SLC

Required Qualifications:

3-5 years of experience in an IT Business Analyst or equivalent role; candidates with strong relevant experience at the lower end of the range will be considered

Proficiency in SQL for data querying, investigation, and validation across relational data environments

Demonstrated SDLC experience- with working knowledge of both waterfall and agile delivery methodologies

Hands-on experience with ServiceNow for change management, incident tracking, or IT service management workflows

Exceptional documentation skills: ability to produce clear, structured, and well-organized artifacts for both technical and business audiences

Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with a track record of translating ambiguous business needs into well-defined requirements

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills- comfortable facilitating working sessions and presenting findings to varied audiences

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working in pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences commercial environments, particularly in areas such as revenue management, gross-to-net, rebates, or pricing

Familiarity with commercial and revenue management platforms (e.g. Model N Powered by N, Kernel Open Pharma, Flex or similar)

Experience with reporting and analytics tools such as QlikView, Power BI, or Cognos

Exposure to cloud-based data platforms or data lake environments (e.g., AWS, Azure)

Prior experience maintaining system documentation within Kneat SLC or equivalent quality/lifecycle management tool s
