Title: IT Business Analyst
Department/Location: Information Technology, St Louis
Position Type: Full-Time, 12-month
Summary
The IT Business Analyst advances Principia by serving as a liaison between Principia departments, IT, vendors, and service partners. Translating institutional needs into clear requirements, practical process improvements, and sustainable technology solutions for the School, College, and shared administrative services. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, this role supports project-based assignments, operational improvements, vendor coordination, documentation, testing, stakeholder facilitation, and adoption efforts. The IT Business Analyst collaborates with institutional leaders, department stakeholders, system owners, project managers, vendors, and IT service teams across the School, College, and shared services to support academic and administrative functions across multiple departments and campuses.
Success in this role draws on Principia’s stakeholders feeling heard, understood, and included before technology decisions are finalized; current-state and future-state processes are documented well enough to guide decisions, implementation, testing, adoption, and support; delivered solutions align with documented business needs and are validated before implementation is considered complete; process improvements reduce confusion, rework, manual effort, delays, avoidable escalation, and support ambiguity; operational support teams receive clear handoff documentation, and documentation remains useful after implementation; and strengthening trust between IT and the departments it serves.
