The Business Analyst – E-Commerce Fulfillment supports one of the Fulfillment Strategy Channel Leads in developing and maintaining a strategic vision for their channel (Last Mile) aligned with the ADUSA omni-channel strategy.
They will do this through offering their expertise and knowledge of business processes and systems within the channel. They will play a key role in the Last Mile development road map by identifying solutions to business challenges, identifying opportunities to streamline our fulfillment processes and applications, and supporting the completion of those projects from ideation to implementation. They will provide qualitative and quantitative insights through process or data analysis and will present this data to the channel lead to support business decisions.
They will also work closely with IT Business Systems Development to be a counterpart on the business side for systems development, participate in testing (SIT, UAT) where necessary and act as liaison between the IT product owners, architects and/or developers and the business when practical questions need to be answered.
