  • Works closely with business systems analysts to develop IT solutions
  • Create system design proposals
  • Coordinate and perform in-depth tests, including end-user reviews, for modified and new systems
  • Provide orientation and training to end users for all modified and new systems

  • Experience programming in some higher-level symbolic language - in an object-oriented programming language, such as C ++ or Java
  • Experience in working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment
  • Ability to effectively prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment
  • Experience at negotiation and compromise when working with groups, this results in an increased focus on an analyst role, so that enhancements or modifications to Colleague are “designed” rather than programmed
  • A Microsoft certification (e.g MCSE) and or professional certification in project management (CAPM/PMP) would be considered an asset
  • Ability to conduct research into systems issues and products as required
  • Strong documentation skills
  • Proven analytical and creative problem-solving abilities
  • A strong commitment to excellent customer service is a fundamental requirement for this position
