Senior business analyst focused on data governance and privacy compliance (Bill 25) within a Quebec financial institution. Work in Agile to define, document, validate requirements, align solutions to business objectives, manage stakeholder buy-in, assess impacts and dependencies, and support data platform compliance.
- The client
is seeking a specialized business analyst, positioned at the intersection of
data governance and privacy, rather than a generalist business analyst.
- The role
involves working on medium-complexity projects requiring collaboration across
multiple business areas, within a data governance team committed to bringing
its data platform into compliance. The candidate will work in an Agile
environment alongside a product manager, a project manager, and agile teams.
This requires the ability to define needs, document requirements, and gain
stakeholder buy-in, rather than simply producing technical deliverables.
- The
presence of privacy protection within a Quebec financial institution
necessitates familiarity with Bill 25 and its associated compliance frameworks.
- Technical
profiles such as data engineers or BI analysts, as well as business analysts
without exposure to data governance or privacy, do not meet this requirement.
Main
Responsibilities:
- Analyze
situations to understand organizational problems and seize opportunities
- Identify,
analyze, document, and validate the organization's business needs and
requirements
- Support
stakeholders and ensure their buy-in to project requirements
- Support the
data governance team
- Support the
evolution of processes leading to data platform compliance
- Align the
solution with business objectives
- Identify
internal and external prerequisites and dependencies
- Analyze the
impacts on stakeholders
- Communicate
and present the solution
- Evaluate
and validate the effectiveness of a solution in relation to needs and
requirements
- Ensure a
comprehensive view of the solution
