About the team

You’ll work with executive leaders, process owners, and product and technology teams to improve complex business processes and support practical, measurable change. The team combines process analysis, journey design, data-informed decision-making, and emerging artificial intelligence capabilities to create more connected experiences for customers and employees.

About the role

As a Business Process Analyst, you will map complex processes, understand how signals, decisions, and handoffs affect outcomes, and identify opportunities for improvement. You will help design connected, artificial intelligence-enabled processes in which coordinated agents combine internal and external signals with business context to prioritize next-best actions while balancing autonomy with human oversight.

You will own scoped analysis and design work, from journey maps and future-state concepts through recommendations and partnership with delivery teams. You will help define requirements, validate solutions, measure results, and translate enterprise priorities into practical change and measurable business outcomes.

Key responsibilities

• Partner with executive leaders and business teams to define process challenges, target outcomes, and hypotheses for where artificial intelligence can create value.

• Conduct interviews and analyze process data and experience insights to identify breakdowns, root causes, and opportunities for improvement.

• Map current-state and future-state journeys, including roles, decisions, systems, data, handoffs, controls, and exception paths.

• Help design coordinated artificial intelligence agents that combine internal and external signals with business context to prioritize next-best actions.

• Define when agents can act autonomously and when human review, approval, or intervention is required.

• Establish safeguards, handoffs, governance considerations, and exception paths for artificial intelligence-enabled processes.

• Shape future-state concepts into solution ideas and minimum viable product (MVP) scope.

• Partner with product and delivery teams to define use cases, user stories, acceptance criteria, and requirements.

• Define process baselines, business outcome measures, and guardrails for artificial intelligence-enabled workflows.

• Monitor process and agent performance, user feedback, exceptions, and human interventions to identify improvement opportunities.

• Support prototypes, user feedback sessions, user acceptance testing (UAT), and iterative process refinement.

• Facilitate working sessions with business and delivery leaders to align on future-state models, ownership, decisions, tradeoffs, dependencies, and risks.

• Support adoption and communicate progress to keep teams aligned to measurable outcomes.
