The Program
The Application Portfolio Modernization (APM) works to maintain the Region’s portfolio of software applications to the desired condition level. This involves assessing, on a regular basis, the condition level of software applications (the technical and functional state of good repair), and taking upgrade, remediation, replacement, or retirement actions to ensure that all applications stay above the desired condition level.
The Role
Working in partnership with the APM Program Manager, IT Project Managers, Business Partners, clients, and others the Senior Business Analyst will apply their deep understanding of business analysis to help stakeholders close the gap between complex, long-term business outcomes and their translation into the detailed functions and features that project solutions need to satisfy.
In this role you will act as an integrator, facilitator and technical specialist providing analytical capabilities to IT projects and initiatives of all sizes. You will support both IT project and Application portfolio modernization work.
