Position Summary

The Senior Business Analyst (P4) supports high-profile M&A integrations, strategic growth initiatives and complex customer onboarding through ownership of pricing accuracy, reporting and data readiness. The role works across Business, Finance, Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, IT and Data teams to translate business requirements into accurate, repeatable and actionable data solutions.

This is a hands-on analytical role operating in fast-moving environments where requirements, priorities and available data may change throughout implementation. The Senior Business Analyst is accountable for the accuracy and stability of critical pricing data, including validating the product cross-reference, unit of measure, conversion and other underlying data elements that affect accurate pricing. The role also responds to complex ad hoc analytical needs, develops dashboards and monitoring controls, and creates tools and automation that improve accuracy, efficiency and scalability.

The role requires strong analytical judgment, ownership and resilience. The successful candidate is comfortable navigating ambiguity, working against aggressive deadlines and shifting between planned responsibilities and emerging project needs. The work supports highly visible initiatives with significant business and customer impact, providing an opportunity to directly influence successful integrations and strategic growth.

Key Responsibilities

·       Pricing Data Ownership & Accuracy: Own pricing analysis and delivery for integration and strategic growth initiatives. Validate source data, calculations and outputs; investigate discrepancies; resolve pricing questions; and establish controls that support ongoing accuracy and stability.

·       Pricing Validation & Cross-Reference Accuracy: Validate product cross-references and associated data as part of the pricing process, identifying situations where incorrect item mapping, unit of measure, conversion factors or related master data may affect pricing accuracy. Partner with the appropriate data owners to resolve required corrections and ensure accurate pricing outcomes.

·       Business Requirements & Data Delivery: Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand pricing, reporting and analytical requirements, clarify expected outcomes and translate needs into reliable deliverables. Maintain ownership from initial request through validation and final delivery.

·       Integration & Onboarding Analytics: Provide recurring and ad hoc analysis to support M&A integrations, customer onboarding, strategic deals and other transformation initiatives. Analyze customer, product, pricing, utilization and operational data to identify issues and support implementation decisions.

·       Dashboards & Monitoring: Develop and maintain dashboards, scorecards and monitoring mechanisms that provide visibility into pricing accuracy, data quality, exceptions, trends and implementation readiness.

·       Data Quality & Exception Management: Establish repeatable validation processes and controls to proactively identify missing, inconsistent or inaccurate data that could impact pricing or other analytical outputs. Investigate issues and partner with the appropriate data or business owner through resolution.

·       Process Improvement & Automation: Identify manual, repetitive or error-prone activities and develop tools, automation and standardized workflows that improve speed, accuracy, scalability and transparency.

·       Standard Operating Procedures: Create and maintain SOPs, process documentation, business rules, data definitions and supporting materials to ensure critical pricing and analytical processes are repeatable and sustainable.

·       Analytical Problem Solving: Investigate complex pricing and data issues where root causes may span items, UOMs, cross-references, contracts, customers, systems or business processes. Structure ambiguous problems, identify root causes and develop practical recommendations.

·       Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with Business, IT, Data, Finance, Sales, Supply Chain, Operations and other functional teams to resolve data questions, define requirements and ensure analytical outputs support operational and customer needs.

·       Project Execution & Prioritization: Manage multiple concurrent requests and deliverables across high-priority initiatives. Maintain commitments and deadlines while adapting quickly as business needs, project priorities and requirements evolve.

·       Continuous Improvement: Capture lessons learned and develop reusable analytical tools, templates, controls and processes that strengthen execution across future acquisitions, customer implementations and strategic initiatives.

Representative Work

·       M&A Integrations: Analyze and normalize acquired-company data; support pricing validation and readiness; identify pricing-impacting cross-reference, UOM or data discrepancies; and develop tools and reporting needed to support integration decisions and execution.

·       Strategic Customer Onboarding: Provide pricing, product, utilization and customer-data analysis required to support onboarding, including pricing validation, exception management, data reconciliation and implementation monitoring.

·       Transformation Initiatives: Build dashboards, automated tools, reconciliation processes and data-quality controls that improve visibility, reduce manual effort and stabilize new or evolving business processes.

·       Post-Implementation Stabilization: Monitor pricing and other critical data following implementation, identify unexpected results or trends, and work across functions to drive issues to resolution.

Qualifications

·       Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience in business, finance, analytics, information systems, supply chain or a related discipline.

·       5 years of progressively responsible experience in business analysis, pricing, data analytics, integration, customer onboarding, operations or related work.

·       Advanced analytical capabilities with demonstrated ability to work with large, complex and imperfect datasets.

·       Experience analyzing pricing, product/item, customer, utilization or transactional data and reconciling information across multiple sources.

·       Strong working knowledge of Excel and experience developing dashboards, reporting solutions, analytical tools or automation. Experience with tools such as Power BI, SQL, Power Query, Power Automate, Alteryx or comparable technologies is preferred.

·       Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business questions into clearly defined requirements and actionable analytical deliverables.

·       Strong attention to detail, particularly where data accuracy can affect customers, financial outcomes or operational execution.

·       Ability to investigate discrepancies, identify root causes and communicate both the issue and recommended resolution clearly.

·       Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain data and analytical findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

·       Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and meet aggressive deadlines in a dynamic environment.

·       Experience supporting M&A integration, healthcare distribution, medical-surgical supply chain, pricing or large customer implementations is preferred.

Success in This Role

·       Pricing data is accurate, stable and trusted by business stakeholders, with underlying product, cross-reference, UOM and conversion issues identified when they affect pricing outcomes.

·       Pricing and data exceptions are identified early enough to prevent downstream customer, financial or operational impact, with issues routed to the appropriate owners for resolution.

·       Business questions have clear ownership and stakeholders receive accurate, timely answers and data.

·       Dashboards and monitoring provide meaningful visibility into readiness, accuracy, exceptions and emerging issues.

·       Manual processes are progressively replaced or strengthened through automation, standardized controls and reusable tools.

·       SOPs and documentation allow critical processes to be executed consistently and transitioned successfully to ongoing business ownership.

·       Analytical deliverables support successful onboarding, integration and stabilization of high-profile strategic initiatives.

·       The team becomes faster and more scalable because knowledge, controls and analytical methods are retained and reused rather than rebuilt for each project.

Leadership Profile

The successful candidate is analytical, resilient and highly accountable. They are comfortable working in ambiguity, digging into details and taking ownership of difficult questions through resolution rather than simply identifying problems.

They combine a strong commitment to accuracy with the judgment to understand when speed is equally important. They communicate clearly, challenge assumptions constructively and build trusted relationships across business and technical teams.

This role operates in a dynamic transformation environment. Priorities can change quickly, deadlines may be aggressive, and critical implementation periods may occasionally require work outside standard business hours. The successful candidate is adaptable and willing to step outside traditional role boundaries when necessary to support the team and achieve important business outcomes.

The work can be demanding, but it is also highly visible and impactful. Success directly contributes to major strategic growth initiatives, customer outcomes and the organization's ability to integrate and scale effectively.
