💼 How can you contribute to the team?
The client is undertaking an Agentic AI Platform Proof of Concept to compare two implementation approaches: an enterprise out-of-the-box platform solution and a custom-built Agentic AI solution. The initiative will assess both options using common enterprise service scenarios, evaluation criteria, governance controls, Responsible AI considerations, implementation effort, cost implications, scalability, and long-term operability to support an evidence based strategic recommendation for the client.
The Senior Business Analyst will provide strategic business analysis, stakeholder engagement, documentation, and decision-support services for the Agentic AI Platform POC. The role requires excellent communication, facilitation, analytical, and executive-level presentation skills, with demonstrated experience supporting strategic initiatives and working closely with leadership teams, business sponsors, product owners, solution architects, technical SMEs, and governance stakeholders. The incumbent will help define and validate business scenarios, facilitate stakeholder alignment, document common evaluation criteria, consolidate evidence from both POCs, support comparison analysis, and prepare executive-ready recommendation materials to enable informed decision-making on the preferred Agentic AI implementation approach.
