Remote Business Systems Analyst jobs

7 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Business systems analysts work between business departments and the IT or engineering teams that build and configure their software. They find out what a department needs from a system, such as an ERP, CRM or internal application, write it down as precise requirements, and see the change through design, testing and rollout.

About the Business Systems Analyst role

What the work looks like

  • Interview users and managers to document current processes and what a system change must achieve.
  • Write requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria that developers or system administrators can build from.
  • Map data fields and process flows between systems in preparation for integrations and migrations.
  • Plan and run user acceptance testing and track defects to resolution in a tool such as Jira.
  • Configure or support enterprise applications and train users on new functionality after release.

What employers ask for

  • Requirements gathering and documentation
  • SQL for data analysis and validation
  • Process modeling in Visio or Lucidchart
  • Jira and Agile delivery practices
  • Experience with an ERP or CRM platform
  • User acceptance test planning

Doing this job remotely

Requirements workshops, documentation and testing are all practical over video and shared tools, and the role is commonly remote or hybrid. Eliciting requirements from busy business users is harder without informal access, so analysts rely on scheduled sessions and recorded walkthroughs. System go-lives may require evening or weekend support.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Business systems analysts often start as power users in finance, operations or support, or in junior IT and QA roles. They advance to senior analyst, product owner, solution architect for a specific platform, or IT project and program management.
