Sr. Technical BA

We are seeking a highly experienced Technical Business Analyst / Project Manager to lead this pivotal initiative. The successful candidate will identify and implement a digital solution—either a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product or an in-house development—that integrates seamlessly with WorkBC’s existing Integrated Case Management (ICM) system. This role provides an opportunity to spearhead a transformative project for a key government client, requiring extensive expertise and the ability to deliver results in a complex environment.

Project Context:

WorkBC seeks to modernize its engagement with job seekers by introducing a self-serve digital platform. This platform will enable the management of straightforward cases online, reducing the demand on physical locations and allowing in-person support to be prioritized for individuals facing greater employment barriers. The selected solution—whether COTS or developed in-house—must integrate seamlessly with the ICM system, which underpins case management operations.
