Who We Are

Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

Academic Management Systems, part of IT Services at SFU, partners with Faculties and Faculty Relations to deliver systems that support academic operations. We are agile, cross-functional teams of analysts, developers, and QA specialists who thrive on collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. Our focus is building user-centered IT solutions that simplify processes, improve efficiency, and enhance the SFU experience for faculty and staff.

SFU is embarking on a three-year digital transformation through the Integrated Faculty Management System (IFMS) program. This initiative will modernize and unify workflows across faculty and administrative domains, supporting long-term improvements in academic administration and advancing the university’s mission.

About the Role

The Business Systems Analyst supports the ongoing configuration and implementation of SFU’s faculty systems, as part of the Integrated Faculty Management System (IFMS) program. This role provides detailed business analysis, system configuration, testing, and change readiness to ensure implementation meets institutional needs. Collaborating closely with Faculty Relations, academic units, and a cross-functional development team, the BSA translates complex business processes into effective digital solutions. The position also supports stakeholder engagement, and ensures the successful delivery of scalable, user-focused functionality within a collaborative Agile environment.

The ideal candidate has experience designing and delivering new enterprise systems, with strong skills in business analysis, database design, workflow development and stakeholder engagement. They understand academic processes and can translate complex requirements into deliverable solutions, particularly within non-vendor environments. This role requires end-to-end systems thinking—from discovery and requirements gathering to design, testing and implementation. Success depends on the ability to develop clear specifications, and ensure solutions meet both user needs and institutional priorities. A strong foundation in software development processes and integrated system design is essential.
