Toronto, Canada Grant Thornton Full time

**Who we are**
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

**Overview**:
As Manager, Business Analysis, you will both lead a team of Business Analysts and act as an analyst on complex projects. Your team will collaborate with business stakeholders, IT professionals, and project managers, and be engaged in the development process from requirements gathering through implementation, ensuring our systems are aligned with business needs. You will be a key contributor to the PMO team, contributing to initiatives that improve and transform the way the firm operates.

**As a Manager, Business Analysis your responsibilities will include**:
**People Management**:

- Build, coach and support a team of Business Analysts
- Foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, support amongst team members
- Guide the team in the development of user requirements, user stories, and test cases
- Work closely with the Process Excellence team to understand and improve business processes
- Organize incoming work and staff assignments to meet committed deadlines

**Business Analysis**:

- As an analyst on complex programs, work with business stakeholders to elicit and document requirements, model processes, analyze data needs, assist in evaluating solutions, and ensure appropriate testing against requirements
- Facilitate workshops to gather information for the development of requirements
- Manage the prioritization of requirements for changes to our core systems

**Stakeholder Relationships**:

- Foster collaboration between stakeholders and the technical team to ensure the effective development and documentation of requirements
- Establish meaningful relationships with business stakeholders and develop an in-depth understanding of their business processes and priorities

**Be Grant Thornton**
If you’re a bit like us, you’re driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action. Just imagine being part of a team that puts “we before me”, where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back. At Grant Thornton, you’ll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that’s when the magic happens

**Think you’ve got what it takes to be a Manager, Business Analysis? Like the colour purple? Great. Here's a few more boxes we’re also hoping you can tick**:
