IT Business Analyst

Are you a strategic problem solver who excels at turning complex business challenges into innovative technology solutions? We're seeking an experienced IT Business Analyst to lead high-impact initiatives, improve business processes, and bridge the gap between organizational needs and technical solutions. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of complex projects, influencing decisions, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver meaningful results.

This full-time, hybrid position (3 days onsite) is located in Topeka, KS, with a Monday–Friday schedule from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. You'll work closely with business leaders, IT professionals, and project teams to drive requirements analysis, process improvements, testing strategies, and successful technology implementations. If you're a strong communicator who thrives on solving problems, bringing stakeholders together, and translating business needs into actionable solutions, this is an excellent opportunity to advance your career and make a lasting impact.

Key Responsibilities

• 
  Lead requirements gathering, analysis, and documentation for complex IT initiatives, translating business needs into functional requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and actionable project deliverables.
• 
  Analyze business processes, workflows, data, and system functionality to identify inefficiencies, recommend improvements, and develop solutions that enhance operational performance.
• 
  Develop and coordinate testing strategies, user acceptance testing (UAT), defect resolution, and solution validation while supporting implementation, training, and change management activities.
• 
  Collaborate with business stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, and leadership to facilitate discussions, resolve competing priorities, communicate recommendations, and improve business analysis standards and practices.

Qualifications

• 
  Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Information Systems, or a related field, or at least two years of progressively responsible IT business analysis experience demonstrating independent ownership of increasingly complex initiatives.
• 
  Strong experience gathering and documenting requirements, developing process flows, analyzing business systems, and facilitating stakeholder discussions across technical and nontechnical teams.
• 
  Experience supporting software testing, UAT, solution validation, and implementation activities, with proficiency in Microsoft Office and collaboration tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, or SharePoint.
• 
  Excellent analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, influence stakeholders, and deliver clear recommendations to leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, or hybrid project methodologies; business analysis certifications such as CBAP, CCBA, or PMI-PBA; and familiarity with SQL, Power BI, or enterprise reporting are highly valued. Knowledge of Jira administration, Zephyr Scale, API testing, integration techniques, and test automation frameworks is also beneficial.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a traditional requirements-gathering position. You'll have the opportunity to lead meaningful business analysis initiatives, influence technology decisions, improve organizational processes, and contribute to enterprise-level solutions. You'll collaborate with diverse teams, take ownership of complex challenges, and help establish best practices that improve how projects are delivered.

If you're ready to use your business analysis expertise to drive innovation, improve processes, and deliver solutions that make a difference, apply today and take the next step in your IT Business Analyst career!
