Working closely with senior analysts and delivery teams, you'll help gather requirements, document processes, and validate solutions while building the craft of business analysis. This is a hands-on learning role in a small consultancy: you'll be exposed to the full engagement lifecycle early, contribute real work from day one, and grow your skills with direct mentorship and increasing ownership over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Support requirements discovery by helping prepare for and participate in client interviews, workshops, and process-mapping sessions, and capturing clear notes and follow-ups.
- Help document business needs as requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria under the guidance of senior analysts.
- Assist in analyzing existing data, systems, and workflows to surface gaps, questions, and opportunities.
- Coordinate information and follow-ups between client stakeholders and Naryant's design, engineering, and data teams to keep everyone aligned.
- Draft and maintain functional specifications, process documentation, and requirement traceability.
- Support solution validation and UAT, including preparing test cases, tracking issues, and helping confirm client acceptance.
- Help maintain and improve BA templates, standards, and documentation as the firm grows.
- Build positive, trusted working relationships with clients and internal teams throughout the engagement.
Required Qualifications
- 0–2 years of experience in business analysis or a related role (including co-op, internship, or adjacent analytical/coordination experience).
- Solid foundational skills in requirements gathering, documentation, and stakeholder communication, with a willingness to learn.
- Exposure to data-centric or software delivery projects (analytics, BI, custom applications, or integrations) through school, work, or personal projects.
- Interest in and some exposure to process modelling tools and agile delivery.
- Ability to read and interpret data; familiarity with SQL or BI tools is an asset.
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Post-secondary degree in business, IT, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- ECBA (Entry Certificate in Business Analysis) or progress toward a business analysis certification.
- Co-op, internship, or project experience in fleet/telematics, healthcare, transportation, or public sector.
- Familiarity with data platforms and dashboards (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) or telematics data.
- Awareness of Agile or Scrum practices.
Core Competencies
Curiosity, attention to detail, clear communication, collaboration, client orientation, and eagerness to learn.
What We Offer
- Direct mentorship from senior analysts and close collaboration with leadership.
- Varied, high-calibre project work across multiple industries and technologies, early in your career.
