McGuireWoods has an opportunity for an IT Business Analyst (BA) to serve a critical role on both project and non-project initiatives. The BA translates internal client wants/needs into actionable project/product requirements, helps negotiate trade-offs when client expectations and system capabilities diverge, and serves as communications lead for deployments. Using a variety of methods and tools, the business analyst researches technical solutions (mostly COTs and SaaS) to meet business needs. The business analyst may function in a leadership capacity to coordinate product demos, facilitate stakeholders input from remote locations and drive decisions. By building strong relationships with key stakeholders in the other business units as well as within the IT department, our business analysts gain a deep understanding of the challenges the different departments face and help to identify opportunities for information technology to help drive the firm’s mission forward.
