About the role

The Senior Business Analyst helps bridge business needs and technology solutions within Elections BC (EBC). This role supports the delivery of strategic initiatives by translating operational requirements into clear, actionable guidance that aligns with EBC’s standards and long-term technology direction.

A core aspect of the Senior Business Analyst role involves leading EBC’s application lifecycle management approach and evaluating existing systems to help determine their ongoing suitability, including whether they should be maintained, enhanced, replaced, or retired. The Senior Business Analyst documents and assesses current-state applications, including legacy systems that support critical electoral operations, to ensure technology solutions continue to meet evolving organizational needs.

As a Senior Business Analyst, you will develop formal business and decision proposals, including application roadmap recommendations, to support executive review, funding decisions, and the continued evolution of EBC’s digital environment. Our ideal applicant is a collaborative and strategic thinker who can build strong working relationships, analyze complex business and technology needs, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. If you are seeking a role that values collaboration, offers meaningful work, and emphasizes teamwork, integrity, creativity and respect, we look forward to your application.
