BUSINESS ANALYST – EDI & TRANSACTION PROCESSING 

6-Month Contract (June – December 2026) 

Department: Business Solutions 

Reports To: Senior Manager, Business Solutions 

Engagement Type: Contract (6 Months) – Recruitment Firm Placement 

Location: Hybrid – Ontario 

Position Overview 

We are seeking a Senior Business Analyst for a focused six-month engagement to document, validate, and rationalize the business rules that govern our electronic transaction processing environment. 

This role is centered on one core question: 

When an electronic transaction enters our system, what should happen next—and is it actually happening? 

Our operations depend on a complex set of business rules that drive enrollment decisions, account status changes, exception handling, rejection processing, validation logic, and downstream workflow activities. While some of these rules are documented, many exist only as operational knowledge held by subject matter experts. 

The successful candidate will work closely with Operations, Development, Quality Assurance, Market Operations, Customer Care, and business stakeholders to uncover, document, validate, and improve the logic that governs transaction processing throughout the transaction lifecycle. 

The primary outcome of this engagement is a complete, maintainable, and validated repository of business rules, workflows, exception handling processes, and supporting requirements documentation that can be used by Operations, Development, and future project teams. 

Ideal Candidate Profile 

The ideal candidate is a senior Business Analyst who enjoys uncovering undocumented business logic, translating operational knowledge into structured rules, and validating that system behaviour aligns with business intent. 

They are comfortable facilitating workshops with operational stakeholders, challenging assumptions, documenting complex decision paths, performing root cause analysis, and working closely with development teams to create testable requirements and acceptance criteria. 

This individual is highly analytical, naturally curious, and capable of transforming complex operational processes into clear, structured, and maintainable documentation. 

Scope of Work 

1. Business Rules Discovery & Documentation 

  • Facilitate structured discovery sessions with operational teams and SMEs to uncover undocumented or informally managed business rules 
  • Document how the system is expected to respond to each category of inbound transaction, including accepted, rejected, pending, suspended, and exception scenarios 
  • Produce formal business rules using structured methodologies such as: 
  • Decision tables 
  • Rule libraries 
  • Functional specifications 
  • Requirements documentation 
  • Establish a maintainable and version-controlled business rules repository 
  • Identify conflicting, ambiguous, incomplete, or inconsistently applied rules and recommend remediation 

2. Business Process & Workflow Mapping 

  • Map end-to-end transaction processing workflows from receipt through resolution 
  • Document current-state business processes and identify gaps between documented procedures and actual system behaviour 
  • Develop future-state process maps reflecting desired business outcomes and decision logic 
  • Document: 
  • Approval points 
  • Exception paths 
  • Escalation processes 
  • Timeout scenarios 
  • Manual intervention triggers 
  • Produce process documentation using BPMN, Visio, Lucidchart, or similar methodologies and tools 

3. System Response & Business Logic Analysis 

  • Analyze current system responses to various transaction types and compare against intended business rules 
  • Perform gap analysis between expected and actual system behaviour 
  • Work with development teams to define and document correct system responses 
  • Support creation of: 
  • Functional requirements 
  • Acceptance criteria 
  • Test scenarios 
  • User Acceptance Testing (UAT) requirements 
  • Ensure documented requirements are traceable, testable, and aligned with business objectives 

 

4. Exception, Rejection & Resolution Logic 

  • Catalog all known exception and rejection scenarios encountered during transaction processing 
  • Define intended business responses for each exception type, including: 
  • Hold 
  • Escalation 
  • Auto-correction 
  • Closure 
  • Re-submission 
  • Identify recurring rejection patterns and root causes 
  • Distinguish systemic issues from isolated data-quality problems 
  • Recommend business rule improvements and process enhancements where current behaviour does not align with business intent 

5. Stakeholder Engagement & Requirements Sign-Off 

  • Lead workshops and working sessions with Operations, Development, QA, Market Operations, and business stakeholders 
  • Facilitate requirements review and approval cycles 
  • Present findings, recommendations, and process gaps clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences 
  • Build consensus around business rule definitions and desired future-state behaviour 
  • Ensure all deliverables receive appropriate stakeholder review and sign-off 

Deliverables Expected by End of Contract 

The successful contractor will deliver: 

  • Comprehensive inventory of transaction-processing business rules 
  • Business rules repository and decision tables 
  • Current-state workflow and process documentation 
  • Future-state workflow recommendations 
  • Exception and rejection handling catalogue 
  • Gap analysis and findings report 
  • Functional requirements and acceptance criteria documentation 
  • Supporting data analysis findings 
  • Final knowledge-transfer and transition package
