Job Title: Senior Application Analyst

Project Overview

As part of CSS's current support methodology exists a myriad of paper and electronic document repositories. In addition, there is a limited presence of content management workflows to effectively track the processing of benefit applications, manage program and staff performance, and collect data for reporting and informed decision-making. This has reduced the effectiveness and efficiency of the program and service areas' staff when managing Albertan's information and ultimately hindering the ability to be agile in supporting innovation and flexibility in service delivery. As a result the current service delivery landscape has been misaligned (standards and compliance) with the overall GoA strategy plan when it relates to being citizen-centered.

Role is to provide Information Technology guidance & development around integrating with the M365 platform, possible scanning solutions, and bulk content transfer of records from legacy systems.

ADDITIONAL DELIVERABLE DETAILS:

• Controlling and securing business application source code, executable load modules and business application data;
• Updating software releases as required, including the testing and implementation of new releases of operating systems;
• Maintaining migration documentation that incorporates operating procedures, standards and guidelines;
• Supporting the acceptance testing and production environments;
• Assisting in problem resolution and providing general support;
• Developing and modifying automated tools/scripts that are used for deployment;
• Providing on-call support on an as-needed basis
• Be able to work in a fast paced environment with minimal supervision;
• Status reporting to the Manager as required;
• Adhering to quality assurance guidelines and maintain quality assurance on all deliverables;
• Managing timelines;

The above deliverables may change depending on the needs of the project and based on approved IMT plans and processes.
