We’d love to have you join us at our HQ in beautiful Victoria, BC (once it’s safe to do so!) and would be delighted to provide relocation assistance. However, we are completely remote friendly - you can work from anywhere in Canada that suits you best. We only ask that you work in the Pacific time zone (PST.)
Level:
Strong Junior/Intermediate/Senior - we're open to hiring a variety of levels for this role.
In 2020, we were ranked as Canada’s 15th fastest growing company and we are looking for a talented Business Analyst to join our growing team. If you are looking to work toward a rewarding career as a Technical Consultant, Service Designer, or Technical Project Manager, we have a role that could be just the perfect fit. The role of an “Analyst” varies across each industry and even between companies. In fact, even the CIA has Analysts; this job won’t be nearly as dangerous as the CIA, but it will be more fun and equally as challenging.*
