Customer Engagement Specialist Jobs in California

Who We Are

Are you energized by the opportunity to turn emerging AI capabilities into meaningful business outcomes? Do you enjoy asking "why" before jumping to "how"? If so, this role offers the opportunity to help shape how AI and automation enhance the experiences of our employees, customers, and candidates.

As a Business Systems Analyst, you'll work at the intersection of business and technology, partnering with stakeholders to understand business needs, evaluate opportunities, and deliver practical solutions that leverage AI, automation, and emerging technologies to create real business value.

• Perform design and configuration efforts related to enterprise applications.
• Lead preparation and execution of testing efforts.
• Support deployment and migration efforts.
• Perform ongoing system administration and support for assigned enterprise systems.
• Represent the business as an expert source in communications with IT, training, reporting, leadership, vendors, etc.
