Position Overview

Primary Purpose of Position

The Business Systems Analyst functions as the core technical and operational bridge between financial business processes, enterprise application administration, and business intelligence reporting. Serving as the primary operational administrator within the Finance Systems & Development Operations unit, the role oversees daily user access provisioning, role-based security governance, and account lifecycle management across core enterprise applications.

Within Business and Finance, this shared model provides centralized budget and financial management to the university’s schools and divisions through finance professionals who are embedded in the units they serve and accountable to the Vice Chancellor. This model delivers consistent financial practices, stronger internal controls, reliable continuity of service, and decision-useful analysis to Unit and Division leadership.
