• Post-secondary education in computer science, business, technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 3-5 years of experience as a Business Analyst or Systems Analyst, preferably in logistics, brokerage, or SaaS environments.
• Certification (or working towards) in Business Analysis is an asset (e.g. CCBA, CBAP, or equivalent); additional certification in QA/testing (e.g. ISTQB) or Agile is an advantage.
• Demonstrated experience writing formal requirements, test plans, and test cases, and leading UAT activities.
• Hands-on, intermediate working knowledge of JIRA, including requirements traceability and reporting.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools to improve quality or efficiency in analysis, documentation, or testing work, with an active interest in expanding that skill set.
• Experience working in an Agile software development environment, familiar with Agile events and working alongside Product Owners, testers, and other stakeholders.
• Strong facilitation skills with the ability to lead discovery sessions and workshops with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excellent problem solving, decision-making, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Self-motivated and solutions-oriented, with a commitment to knowledge sharing, team success, and client satisfaction.
• Must be legally eligible to work for the Company at all times.
• Valid Passport ability to occasionally travel if required to other offices locations in CAD/USA/MEX.

Requirements

• Requirements Gathering & Documentation: Independently plan and lead requirements elicitation with end users and stakeholders, producing clear, testable, and business-aligned requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Ticket Documentation & Quality Standards: Model high-quality ticket documentation in JIRA, ensuring traceability from requirements through testing and deployment, and holding work to established standards even under delivery pressure.
• Problem Understanding Facilitation: Facilitate discovery and problem-understanding meetings with clients and business stakeholders, ensuring the right problem is defined before a solution is scoped or built.
• Quality Assurance & Testing: Develop test strategies, test plans, and test cases; lead UAT sessions and defect remediation, ensuring solutions meet requirements before deployment.
• End-User Training & Adoption Support: Create training materials and support end-user training and adoption activities, helping client and internal teams confidently use new solutions post-implementation.
• Continued Learning & Institutional Knowledge: Pair deepening institutional knowledge of Buckland's systems, clients, and domain with continuous learning of modern practices, tools, and technologies.
• Cross-Functional Training & Knowledge Sharing: Cross-train with other BAs and business areas, document reusable knowledge, and mentor junior analysts so expertise benefits the whole practice, not just individual projects.
• SDLC & Process Improvement: Apply SDLC principles and fundamentals across projects, and contribute improvements to BA templates, standards, and playbooks based on lessons learned.
• Automation & Efficiency Identification: Stay curious in identifying labor-intensive, manual tasks across the business that are candidates for automation and efficiency gains.
• AI Growth & Applied Adoption: Grow working proficiency with AI tools in requirements, testing, and documentation workflows, identifying practical use cases, applying them to real deliverables, and sharing what works with peers.
