The manager made it clear this is not a traditional technical IT Business Analyst role. It is primarily a portfolio/business case/financial analysis + stakeholder leadership role supporting utility technology.
The manager specifically said:
- 50/50 analytics and finance is ideal.
- The key qualities are leadership and communication, and the manager can teach the technical skills.
- Utility experience is preferred but not required.
- Minimum is approximately 5–6 years, bachelor's is acceptable.
- Requirements gathering is only high-level during project origination; detailed requirements are handled later by the PM/technical team. Systems analysis is not required.
- Power BI knowledge is needed for viewing/slicing reports, not developing them. Smartsheet is used for project oversight.
