The Business Analyst will gather requirements both from stakeholders and from own analysis of existing reports to meet new needs and introduce improvements. They will identify data sources and criteria needed, document specs for developers, test the output, and ensure user acceptance. Extensive use of SQL is expected throughout this process. The Business Analyst will prioritize tasks and coordinate the work of the development team.

• Collect and prioritize requests for reports, integrations, and other data needs
• Work closely with stakeholders to understand the business process and turn vague one-liner requests into

detailed, testable requirements that meet business needs

• Use SQL to explore, extract, and analyze data to support and test requirements
• Write report and data feed specifications for BI and ETL Developers
• Organize tasks for the development team and coordinate development, testing, and deploy

• Test reports and data feeds hands-on, as well as lead stakeholders through UAT
• Design reports/dashboard layouts to present data in a clean, consumable, and insightful format
• Audit existing reports and propose improvements for findability of data
• Assist customers with ad-hoc reporting needs

The ideal candidate has proven working experience taking a vaguely stated business question and unpacking it into specific requirements, data sources, and criteria. The skillset is a cross between a business analyst working with the customer on requirements discovery and a "data detective" identifying and interpreting data using strong SQL and analysis skills. Analytical /conceptual/ curio problem-solving mindset is an absolute must. Experience writing SQL against complex tables containing historical/future data is a must. Working knowledge of HR data and processes is strongly preferred.

Interview Expectations: During the interview, the candidate will be expected to walk GTRI through his/her data gathering, analysis, and SQL experience in detail. The interviews will be very thorough and the candidate will be expected articulate answers for scenario based questions. .1st Interview: Phone, Second Interview: Virtual, Final Step: Extend Offer
