We operate across the United States, Australia, and the Philippines.\nRole Purpose\nThe Business Process Analyst is responsible for helping VargasAndrews understand, document, improve, standardize, and govern how work is performed across the organization.\nThe role will independently work with process owners and subject-matter experts across different functions to discover how work is currently performed, identify gaps and inefficiencies, develop clear process documentation, and recommend practical improvements.\nA key objective is to establish reliable business processes that are clearly documented, assigned to appropriate owners, maintained through proper governance, and assessed for future automation or AI opportunities where these provide a practical solution to a business problem.\nThis is not primarily an AI development role. The successful contractor should understand automation and AI capabilities well enough to identify opportunities, define business requirements, and work effectively with AI, automation, and other technical specialists.\nKey Responsibilities\nProcess Discovery & Documentation\nConduct discovery sessions with process owners and subject-matter experts to understand how work is actually performed. \nIndependently identify undocumented, unclear, or inconsistently performed business processes. \nDocument current-state processes, including activities, decision points, roles, systems, inputs, outputs, dependencies, controls, and handoffs. \nDevelop and maintain SOPs, checklists, manuals, process maps, workflow documentation, and related operating documents. \nTranslate complex or informal working practices into clear, practical documentation that can be understood and followed by others. \nEstablish or recommend an appropriate business process register, documentation structure, and process repository. \nOrganize existing process documentation and identify missing, duplicate, outdated, or conflicting materials.\nProcess Analysis & Improvement\nAnalyze existing workflows to identify unnecessary steps, duplication, bottlenecks, unclear ownership, control gaps, and inefficient handoffs. \nLook beyond how a process has historically been performed and determine whether there is a more effective way to achieve the intended business outcome. \nFacilitate AS-IS and TO-BE process discussions with relevant stakeholders. \nConduct root-cause analysis to distinguish underlying process problems from symptoms. \nRecommend practical process improvements based on business needs, risks, available resources, and expected outcomes. \nHelp determine whether activities are assigned to the appropriate function and process owner. \nSupport implementation and adoption of approved process improvements. \nEstablish appropriate measures or indicators to determine whether process improvements are producing the intended results.\nProcess Governance\nEstablish clear ownership and accountability for documented processes. \nDevelop and maintain appropriate documentation standards, version control, approval records, review dates, and change histories. \nCoordinate scheduled process and documentation reviews with process owners. \nFollow up with relevant stakeholders to ensure documentation remains accurate and current. \nIdentify outdated, duplicate, incomplete, or conflicting process documentation. \nRecommend and help establish an appropriate process governance framework for the organization. \nMaintain visibility over the status, ownership, maturity, and improvement opportunities of key business processes. \nAI & Automation Enablement\nAssess business processes for appropriate automation and AI opportunities. \nDistinguish between problems that require process improvement and those where technology, automation, or AI may provide additional value. \nIdentify processes that should be standardized or improved before automation is considered. \nDocument business requirements, decision rules, exceptions, dependencies, data requirements, and human decision points relevant to potential automation. \nDevelop future-state workflows with guidance and input from relevant process owners. \nWork with AI, automation, IT, and other technical specialists to translate business processes into clear implementation requirements. \nSupport testing, validation, documentation, and adoption of approved automation initiatives. \nUse AI tools appropriately to support process discovery, analysis, documentation, research, and productivity.\nAdvanced AI development, software engineering, or building complex AI agents is not a core requirement of this role.\nCross-Functional Coordination, Reporting & Special Projects\nCoordinate cross-functional process and operational improvement initiatives. \nWork with stakeholders across different functions and levels of seniority to obtain information, resolve process gaps, and move agreed actions forward. \nMaintain project plans, action registers, process trackers, documentation, reports, and follow-up activities as required. \nPrepare management reports, process summaries, recommendations, and presentations. \nSupport special projects requiring structured analysis, documentation, coordination, reporting, and follow-through. \nPerform administrative activities connected to process governance, documentation, reporting, and project delivery. \nRequired Experience & Capabilities\n5+ years of relevant professional experience, with demonstrated experience in Business Process Analysis, Process Improvement, Process Excellence, Continuous Improvement, Business Transformation, Operations Excellence, or a closely related discipline. \nExperience working in BPO, outsourcing, shared services, consulting, professional services, or another cross-functional service environment is strongly preferred. \nDemonstrated ability to independently conduct process discovery and stakeholder interviews. \nStrong experience developing SOPs, process maps, workflows, checklists, manuals, or similar process documentation. \nExperience documenting and analyzing AS-IS and TO-BE processes. \nDemonstrated ability to identify root causes, inefficiencies, bottlenecks, duplication, unclear ownership, and process-control gaps. \nStrong analytical and structured problem-solving capability. \nAbility to challenge existing practices constructively rather than simply documenting how work has historically been performed. \nStrong stakeholder management and facilitation skills, including the ability to influence without direct authority. \nExcellent written and verbal English communication skills. \nStrong organizational skills and attention to detail. \nAbility to independently manage multiple processes, stakeholders, and documentation requirements. \nComfortable working in a remote, international, and cross-functional environment. \nStrong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and common business productivity tools. \nEducation\nA bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Management Engineering, Business Administration, Operations Management, Information Systems, or another relevant discipline is preferred.\nIndustrial Engineering and Management Engineering backgrounds are particularly relevant when combined with professional experience in business process analysis, process improvement, process excellence, shared services, BPO, outsourcing, consulting, or other service-based environments.\nPreferred Qualifications\nLean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Green Belt, or similar process-improvement training or certification. \nExperience with Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, Signavio, or similar process-mapping tools. \nFamiliarity with BPMN, SIPOC, Value Stream Mapping, Lean, Six Sigma, root-cause analysis, or related process-improvement methodologies. \nExperience establishing or maintaining process libraries, SOP repositories, document-control systems, or process registers. \nExperience with Power BI or other reporting and visualization tools. \nBasic practical exposure to Power Automate, Make, Zapier, or similar low-code/no-code automation platforms. \nExperience using ChatGPT, Claude, or similar AI tools to support business analysis, documentation, process improvement, or automation. \nExperience supporting U.S. or other international stakeholders.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nSuccess in this role means VargasAndrews develops a reliable and sustainable way of managing its business processes.\nImportant recurring processes should progressively become:\nDocumented -> Standardized -> Assigned to Clear Owners -> Version-Controlled -> Regularly Reviewed -> Measured -> Continuously Improved -> Assessed for Appropriate Automation or AI Opportunities\nThe successful contractor will not simply produce documentation. They will be expected to understand why a process exists, what business problem it is intended to solve, whether the current approach remains appropriate, who should own it, and how it can be improved.\nWhere automation or AI can provide value, the contractor will help prepare the process and business requirements so that appropriate technical specialists can design and implement the solution.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9236,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T02:59:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":21600,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vargas-andrews-business-process-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vargas-andrews-business-process-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T21:21:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"search","counted_by":"address","units_charged":0,"used_today":0,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":null,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4422357},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4422357"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvargas-andrews-business-process-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvargas-andrews-business-process-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvargas-andrews-business-process-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vargas-andrews-business-process-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvargas-andrews-business-process-analyst"}]}
