Job Description:
Idaho Power - located in vibrant Boise, Idaho - is looking for two Business Systems Analysts to join our Information Technology team. It's an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we're looking hard to safely provide our customers with the reliable, affordable, clean energy they depend on. While this position is based at Idaho Power's downtown Boise location, we offer both flexible schedules and the opportunity to work up to 40% remote. In addition to the meaningful work we do, we offer work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, an employee incentive plan, and both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan, making Idaho Power one of the best employers in the state.
We are looking for experienced Business Systems Analysts to specialize in one of two areas of emphasis on our team:
The first position will include portfolio emphasis with the following duties:
The IT Business Systems Analyst works closely with the IT Service Delivery Manager and IT PMO leader as a liaison between technologists and stakeholders. They play a key role in helping refine technology ideas into actionable project requests by working with business stakeholders to document business needs, expected benefits, and anticipated costs for new projects through the Enterprise Technology request intake process. This individual will assist with the facilitation of project request prioritization to inform technology roadmaps. As part of broader stakeholder communication, IT Portfolio Analysts may develop videos, presentations, and newsletters to keep employees and leadership informed.
The second position will include project execution emphasis with the following duties:
The IT Business Systems Analyst works closely with Project Managers and Business Leads to support the execution of key Enterprise Technology portfolio projects. Through the application of requirements elicitation and management techniques, they provide comprehensive requirement tracking and traceability from project initiation through execution and delivery. They are responsible for mapping as-is and to-be business processes and facilitating organizational change management activities as needed to ensure successful adoption of new solutions. They plan and execute cross-functional testing activities and user acceptance testing.
Both IT Business System Analyst and Senior IT Business Systems Analyst roles stem from a strong foundation of core Business Systems Analysis skills. They establish and maintain relationships with business partners to support strategic objectives facilitating solution assessments, validation and elicitation, analysis, management, and communication of requirements. They will analyze and assist the business with developing business cases and/or designing business processes, policies, and information systems. They also gather estimates for labor, materials, software licensing and purchased services to analyze and document a project's total cost of implementation and cost of ownership. They will translate and align solutions to meet IT strategy and business objectives. They will work closely with Supply Chain, Legal, and Cybersecurity teams on Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and other vendor sourcing events. They understand technology and applications and have experience with a multitude of business processes and information systems.
