Senior Business Process Analyst

Position Overview 

Autodesk is looking for a passionate individual that wants to be part of a fast-moving company transforming how it delivers value to its customers through new processes and technology.

The Senior Business Process Analyst on the Robotic Process Automation team will be responsible for driving process excellence within Autodesk’s Finance organization, partnering and collaborating with both business and technology teams in a cross-functional way. This role will intake, assess and prioritize new automation opportunities as well as develop requirements to simplify, optimize and automate business processes in our world-wide finance areas. In addition, this role will serve as an advisor to business units within finance to champion and drive process automation initiatives. This is a highly visible role on the leading edge of a dynamic transformation within Autodesk.

Responsibilities

• Work as part of a talented group of process analysts to identify business processes best suited for simplification, optimization and automation

• Perform structured assessments of business processes to determine fit for automation and forecast ROI

• Create process design documents and collaborate with the RPA development team to help transform process designs into automations that deliver business value

• In collaboration with stakeholders, define business outcomes and metrics to determine forecasted and actual ROI

• Work with business teams in the finance organization to understand their business value streams and desired outcomes

• Work with project managers and product owners to provide regular updates to business champions on work in process, work in backlog and potential automation opportunities

• Collaborate with technology teams within Autodesk, such as our partners in Enterprise IT teams, Internal Auditing and Trust and Compliance to ensure new automations and features are efficiently and safely deployed to production

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience in finance processes, business process improvement, systems analysis, and intelligent automation technologies

• Amazing critical thinking skills with the ability to take abstract concepts and ideas, distill them down, and make them real both visually and in writing. You want to understand not only the what and why of something that needs to be done, but how you can help your team get there

• A keen sense for problem-solving - sniffing out process opportunities and automation challenges as we mobilize on our finance transformation, having a clear view of cause-and-effect so that you can help both the finance teams and your team prioritize effectively

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to switch contexts between highly technical and business-focused topics quickly and easily. Excellent facilitation skills suited for in-person and virtual meetings

• We’re looking for somebody with experience (prior professional experience in process and systems analysis role), 7+ years business process improvement and process automation) that has learned, sometimes the hard way, how to be a fantastic business process analyst

• An individual who has learned how to learn. You have an undergraduate degree in engineering, finance or business operations or have a combination of other education and equivalent work

• Lots of experience working in highly iterative development processes. You understand the principles of lean and agile frameworks but aren’t married to any particular methodology or technology

• Somebody prepared to deal with the boring and the tough. Every minute of every day in a business process analyst role isn’t always working with teams to deploy new automations. A process analyst in this role must also be willing and able to take on things like sifting through process recordings, creating value stream maps, documenting processes and being data driven in both process improvement and prioritization of potential automation opportunities

Preferred Qualifications

• Be someone that has walked-the-walk and has a strong analytical background in systems analysis, process improvement and business analysis.

• Prior experience with intelligent automation tools and techniques that has delivered measurable business improvements via process automation

• A healthy background in Lean, Agile, and other empirical processes that drive continuous improvement. You know your way around a Kanban board and can speak fluently to value streams and optimizing flow while reducing waste. Jira and BPM are more to you than just words and acronyms. Six Sigma is far more to you than just the color of a belt

• Significant experience as an analyst in complex systems integration. You’ve not only drawn the lines on a visual diagram, you’ve created requirements documents, know the difference between a functional and non-functional requirement, and delivered presentations to technical and non-technical teams.

• Bring experience working in business and stakeholder management, providing expert insight into strategic and tactical opportunities for improvement in finance organizations

• Have a portfolio of successful high-risk, high-visibility projects. You’ve worked on teams that drove big initiatives over the line while meeting tight commitments to do so

• An understanding of the Lean principles of product development. One-piece flow, visual management, context switching, and simplification have become a way-of-life for you. You know that product development is a different animal than manufacturing and repetitive processes, and you think of automation development as a product that moves through a product development value stream.
