The Opportunity

Groom & Associates is currently recruiting a Senior Business Analyst – Business Intelligence & Corporate Performance on behalf of a well-established organization in Montreal.

This is a multifaceted role combining business intelligence, data analysis, contract management, enterprise risk management and corporate projects. This is not an IT-focused Business Analyst position. Rather, we are looking for a strong business professional who can understand complex organizational issues, work with data, collaborate with multiple stakeholders and provide meaningful analysis and recommendations to management.

The successful candidate will have a high degree of autonomy and will be comfortable moving between high-level business analysis and detailed data analysis. Power BI is a key component of the role, both for developing reporting tools and for helping the organization make better use of its data.

• Support the ongoing management and administrative follow-up of important organizational contracts and commercial agreements.
• Monitor contract performance by coordinating information from relevant stakeholders.
• Analyze information related to contractual obligations, timelines, costs and expected outcomes.

• Assess project feasibility, potential impacts and conditions for success.
• Identify and evaluate risks associated with projects, initiatives and organizational changes.
• Monitor implementation and recommend adjustments as required.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the organization.

These areas reflect the core scope of the original position, including contract management, ERM, corporate projects and Power BI/business intelligence.

Qualifications & Experience
