We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Business Analyst to join our client's dynamic team and lead our ERP migration project. In this role, you will be instrumental in driving the successful transition from our current ERP system to a new, state-of-the-art solution.

  • Change Management: Manage change control processes to handle any changes in project scope or requirements. Develop and implement change management strategies to support user adoption and minimize resistance.
  • Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation of business processes, requirements, and project progress. Ensure that all project documentation is accurate, up-to-date, and accessible to relevant stakeholders.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Regularly update stakeholders on project status, risks, and issues. Facilitate meetings and workshops to ensure alignment and buy-in throughout the migration process.

  • Minimum of 7 years of experience as a Business Analyst, with at least 3 years focused on ERP migration projects.
  • In-depth knowledge of ERP systems, such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar platforms.
