Position Location: This position is hybrid. Hybrid positions combine regular in-person presence at our Washington, DC office with the option of two days of remote work each week.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Ready to contribute to Brookings success?
The Systems Analyst, Enterprise Applications supports the planning, governance, implementation, integration, and continuous improvement of Brookings' enterprise technology ecosystem. Reporting to the Director, Enterprise Applications and Architecture, this role serves as a bridge between business stakeholders and technology teams, translating business needs into scalable, secure, and practical technology-enabled solutions.
The position contributes across a broad portfolio of enterprise applications — including enterprise architecture initiatives, roadmap execution, integration and automation, data and analytics, governance processes, solution analysis, and technology modernization — spanning platforms such as Workday, Salesforce, Raiser's Edge, Adaptive Planning, Concur, integration technologies, and future systems.
The successful candidate operates as a hands-on individual contributor — doing the development work directly, not just specifying it. With a working grasp of how backend systems function, they can pick up new tools quickly to build integrations, reports, dashboards, and automations, while partnering with business stakeholders to analyze requirements and recommend scalable solutions. For example, they might write a Workday report, build a Power BI dashboard, develop an API integration, or configure an automation or AI agent.
Technical Delivery (45%)
- Design, build, configure, and maintain integrations between Brookings enterprise systems, using APIs, middleware/integration platforms, and scripting as appropriate.

- Partner with internal teams, vendors, and implementation partners on configuration, development, testing, data conversion, and deployment of integration and automation solutions.
- Build reporting, dashboards, and automation workflows that reduce manual effort and improve data reliability across systems.
- Perform system configuration, quality assurance, regression testing, and user acceptance testing for integration and automation changes.
- Research and pilot emerging integration patterns, automation tools, and AI-enabled capabilities; build small proofs-of-concept to demonstrate value before broader investment.
Enterprise Systems Analysis & Solution Design (25%)
- Partner with business and technology stakeholders to understand business challenges, requirements, pain points, and opportunities for improvement.
- Support requirements-gathering sessions, workshops, interviews, and discovery activities with cross-functional stakeholders.
- Analyze business processes and identify opportunities for system optimization, automation, integration, and modernization.
- Contribute to the evaluation of alternative technology solutions and support developing recommendations based on business requirements, technical feasibility, cost, complexity, risk, and long-term sustainability.
- Create process flows, user stories, systems documentation, data flow diagrams, and solution proposals that support decision-making and implementation — including building the actual report, dashboard, or prototype where feasible.
- Assist in technology assessments, software evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and platform-selection initiatives.
- Develop a strong understanding of Brookings’ enterprise application landscape and the relationships, dependencies, and data flows among systems.
Governance, Roadmap & Project Support (20%)
- Support governance processes for enterprise applications, including change management, intake management, prioritization, and decision documentation.
- Assist in maintaining enterprise application inventories, roadmaps, project backlogs, decision logs, architecture artifacts, and implementation plans.
- Coordinate activities related to change review boards, governance committees, roadmap planning sessions, and cross-functional technology discussions.
- Track project status, risks, dependencies, decisions, action items, and follow-up owners across enterprise application initiatives.
- Help ensure proposed system changes are evaluated for downstream impact across business processes, integrations, reporting, data, security, and user experience.
- Maintain documentation, standards, knowledge repositories, and templates that support the Enterprise Applications function.
Continuous Improvement & Professional Development (10%)
- Stay current with enterprise technology trends, SaaS platforms, ERP and CRM systems, integration technologies, automation tools, analytics, and AI solutions.
- Develop expertise across Brookings’ core enterprise systems and related business processes.
- Participate in mentorship, training, and professional development opportunities to strengthen technical and analytical skills.
- Contribute to a culture of documentation, collaboration, and continuous improvement within BTech.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as an Enterprise Systems Engineer
Map your credentials to Systems Analyst
TN visa approval depends on CBP classifying your role under a recognized USMCA category. Enterprise Systems Engineer maps most cleanly to Systems Analyst. Confirm your job offer letter uses systems analysis language, not generic engineering titles that lack a direct TN match.
Build a role-specific support letter
Your employer's support letter must explain how your daily duties involve analyzing and designing enterprise systems, not just maintaining hardware. Vague letters are the leading cause of TN delays at the port of entry for technical roles like this one.
Target employers with USMCA filing experience
Prioritize companies that have sponsored TN professionals before. Ask recruiters directly whether their legal or HR team has processed TN admissions, since first-time sponsors often cause delays by conflating TN with H-1B petition requirements.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified TN sponsors
Search Migrate Mate to identify Enterprise Systems Engineer roles at employers with recent visa filings. Filter by role and visa type so you're targeting companies experienced with work visa sponsorship, not learning the process alongside you.
Clarify third-party placement before your port entry
If your role places you at a client site rather than the sponsoring employer's office, CBP officers may question the employment relationship. Get written documentation clarifying the employer-employee relationship before your port of entry appointment or consular interview.
Prepare for renewal before your three-year mark
TN status is granted in three-year increments with no hard cap on renewals. Start your renewal documentation at least 60 days out. Canadians can re-enter at any port of entry; Mexican citizens must schedule a new consular appointment, which can take weeks.
Enterprise Systems Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Enterprise Systems Engineer role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, if your duties center on analyzing, designing, and implementing enterprise information systems. CBP maps this role to the Systems Analyst category under USMCA. Roles that tip toward hardware engineering or general IT support without a systems analysis component may face closer scrutiny, so your job offer letter needs to reflect the analytical scope of the work.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Enterprise Systems Engineer positions?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and no I-129 petition requirement for Canadian applicants, who can get TN status approved at the port of entry the same day they apply. H-1B requires surviving a lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate and waiting up to a year before starting work. For Canadian professionals in this role, TN is a materially faster path to U.S. employment.
Where can I find Enterprise Systems Engineer jobs with TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals searching for roles with TN visa sponsorship. You can filter by job title and visa type to surface employers who have already navigated the USMCA process, rather than spending time on applications at companies unfamiliar with TN requirements.
Can a Mexican citizen get TN status for an Enterprise Systems Engineer role?
Yes, Mexican citizens qualify under the same USMCA Systems Analyst category, but the process differs. Mexican applicants must apply at a U.S. consulate and receive a TN visa stamp before entering the country, unlike Canadians who can be admitted at a land border or airport. Processing times at consulates vary, so building in lead time before your intended start date is essential.
What documents does your employer need to provide for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a signed support letter on company letterhead that describes your specific duties as an enterprise systems analyst, your professional qualifications, the expected duration of employment, and your compensation arrangement. The letter needs to demonstrate that the role requires your specialized degree and that it falls within a recognized USMCA professional category. Offer letters alone are rarely sufficient for CBP review.
