Meet Mara
At Mara Consulting, we help our clients – changemakers in their respective organizations – succeed, by delivering the best service and solutions in privacy and cybersecurity, business and technology strategy, and people-centred transformation. We help clients think through their most complex, pressing challenges to gain an understanding of the potential opportunities and then we chart the way forward, together. We lead with a creative mindset and a collaborative approach. Always.
To support our growth, we are searching for an exceptional Senior Business Analyst to join us. As part of a growing and well respected team, you’ll work with clients in the public, healthcare, and private sectors. You’ll collaborate with a seasoned team of professionals with backgrounds in project management, change management, service design, risk management and technology, and ‘lived’ experience, who have your back and value your contributions.
What We’re Looking For
As a Senior Business Analyst, you’ll bring a broad set of skills, knowledge and experience in business analysis. You’ll work with other Mara team members to lead and support our clients and partners in a wide range of challenging and exciting digital health, government transformation and business transformation initiatives as they introduce new technologies and business solutions.
You’ll have exceptional writing skills and the ability to communicate and apply appropriate business analysis techniques clearly, in a way that adds value to our clients. As a self-starter who is detail-oriented and flexible, you will take on various types of projects based on the priorities of the firm and our clients. In all the work that you do, you will be encouraged to think creatively and resourcefully. As a complement to our existing team members, we are looking for that special person who is energetic and fun-loving, but serious about the work.

What We Offer
- A competitive salary and benefits package, company profit sharing and variable incentive program, ample paid vacation, paid professional development, work from home allowance, company events, and other perks.

We encourage continuous learning and professional development, ensuring that our employees remain at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.
