• Solution & Vendor Engagement: Support the evaluation of SaaS-based HCM options, translate business requirements into functional specifications, and participate in vendor solution validation.
• Data & Integration: Define data structures, support the development of a data migration strategy, and identify key integration points between the HCM platform and Aurion payroll.
• Testing & Readiness: Define test scenarios and acceptance criteria, coordinate UAT activities with business SMEs, and support change management and onboarding workflow readiness.

• Demonstrated experience as a Business Analyst on HRIS, HCM, or large-scale workforce transformation initiatives.
• Strong technical capability in requirements elicitation, process modelling (BPMN), and user story/backlog development within Agile or hybrid environments.
• Proven experience working with enterprise systems, data structures, system integrations, and data migration.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to act as a key liaison between business units and ICT.
