CRM/ERP Business Analyst

Summary

Business Analyst at GURUS Solutions bridges client operations and cloud technology, improving CRM/ERP workflows and configuring NetSuite systems while training users in a bilingual Montreal office.

Role Overview & Mindset

As a Business Analyst, you are the strategic bridge between our clients' operational realities and cloud technology. Possessing a strong client-facing mindset, you love engaging with people, driving conversations, and guiding teams through business process improvements and system changes with empathy, clarity, and simplified communication.

We seek a self-starter who is naturally curious—someone who constantly strives to understand the "why" behind a business workflow to uncover optimization opportunities, rather than just executing on the "what." You are highly coachable, welcome constructive feedback as a tool for personal growth, and thrive as an active team player in a collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Business Analysis & Workshops: Lead and facilitate discovery workshops to gather comprehensive client requirements and map current business processes.
  • Process Improvement & Optimization: Analyze client operational workflows, identify systemic inefficiencies, and design optimized processes aligned with industry best practices.
  • Software Configuration: Translate improved and validated workflows into functional system designs and configurations within the NetSuite platform.
  • Testing & User Acceptance (UAT): Prepare and guide clients through User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scripts to ensure the optimized operational logic flows perfectly.
  • Go-Live Involvement: Play an active role during high-stakes deployment phases (Go-Live) to ensure a smooth operational transition.
  • Client Training & Enablement: Conduct engaging training sessions for client Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and end-users, creating clear documentation to solidify the new workflows.
  • Post-Go-Live Support: Provide proactive functional support and hypercare to clients during the operational stabilization phase immediately following deployment.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • SaaS Experience (Core Requirement): 2 to 5 years of experience in business analysis or software implementations within the SaaS ecosystem (ERP, CRM, HRIS, or related solutions).
  • Client-Facing & Process Mindset (Core Requirement): Proven client-facing background with a natural ability to analyze, document, and improve business processes.
  • Bilingualism (Core Requirement): Flawless verbal and written communication skills in both French and English (essential for handling our bilingual North American client base).
  • Education: University degree in Business Administration (Operations Management, MIS), Information Technology, or a related field.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Foundational knowledge of corporate accounting: General understanding of standard financial workflows (General Ledger / GL, Accounts Payable / AP, Accounts Receivable / AR).
  • Direct exposure to NetSuite or other mainstream cloud systems (Salesforce, Odoo, Sage, Dynamics).
  • Experience drafting process workflows using mapping tools (Lucidchart, Visio).

Logistics

  • Permanent, full-time position (40 hours/week).
  • Hybrid Model: 3 days/week in-office at our Montreal office (near Sauvé metro station).

* This position requires proficiency in a language other than French due to the fact that 75% of our clients operate in English
