Business Analyst

Ready to Make an EMpact?
Emergent Method’s business analysts work hand-in-hand with organizations to navigate consequential moments, implement innovative solutions for complex challenges, and ensure programs are equipped to support the programs and initiatives that depend on them.

We’re looking for a self-motivated, flexible problem solver who is excited to work on large-scale projects, committed to delivering transformative results, and ready to take ownership of a dynamic range of work – whether it’s supporting data migration and conversion, conducting data analysis, or enhancing business processes.

The Work You Can Do:
As a business analyst, you’ll work alongside team members to contribute directly to state government-led IT programs that call for clear thinking and excellent execution to support active system development.

You Work May Include:

• Serving as a support resource for data migration and conversion activities, documenting business processes and requirements around data conversion approaches, and working with technical teams to ensure business requirements align with data conversion strategies
• Translating business requirements into functional and technical designs, including implementing stories and process flows
• Conducting data analysis and profiling to ensure accuracy and consistency in data migration efforts
• Creating and executing complex SQL queries to assist with technical design, data cleansing, and resolution of bugs/defects
• Recommending the elimination, retention, or enhancement of business processes and documenting the results
• Collaborating with source systems, data analysts, and modelers to build scalable data solutions
• Analyzing source data and performing gap analyses, source-to-target mappings, and data integration designs
• Providing support for user acceptance testing (UAT) and IT application testing related to data migration

The Teammate We’re Looking For:

• Seeks out challenges and opportunities to address them
• Holds work to high standards while challenging themselves to continue learning and improving
• Takes initiative, follows through, and pays attention to the details
• Is self-motivated and adept in handling a wide range of business analysis and data-related tasks
• Asks thoughtful questions, welcomes feedback, and enjoys working with a team
• Is willing to roll up their sleeves on any task — ranging from developing the big picture to getting the details right
• Wants to build trust with clients by being prepared, responsive, and dependable
• Is based in Baton Rouge, La. and able to work onsite; however, remote candidates will be considered and are encouraged to apply

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• A bachelor’s degree in business, computer science, information systems, or a related field
• At least four (4) years of experience in data migration, cleansing, and conversion projects
• At least three (3) years of experience in data analysis using SQL queries
• Experience translating business requirements into functional and technical designs
• Ability to create complex SQL queries
• Experience working with system-testing tools such as Jira
• Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
