Business Systems Analyst 5

The Senior Business Systems Analyst (SBSA) - Enterprise Role Management is responsible for the design, development, governance, and lifecycle management of Enterprise Role definitions across a large, global semiconductor manufacturing organization. This role partners closely with senior business leaders, role owners, and process owners who are responsible for the company's most critical end-to-end business processes-similar in scope and complexity to those typically addressed in major ERP implementations.

The primary objective of this role is to define and sustain workforce Enterprise Roles by:

• Clearly documenting business responsibilities.
• Mapping those responsibilities to L4 and L5 business processes.
• Aligning processes to the applications that support them.
• Ensuring Enterprise Roles are consistently translated into application-level roles and entitlements.

This role serves as a cross-functional organizer, facilitator, and leader, establishing clear ownership and accountability to ensure the Enterprise Role Catalog remains accurate, scalable, auditable, and sustainable over the long term.

Enterprise Role Definition & Lifecycle Management

• Lead the end-to-end lifecycle management of Enterprise Roles, including creation, validation, maintenance, certification, and retirement.
• Define Enterprise Roles based on workforce responsibilities and business accountability, rather than individual applications or legacy access models.
• Establish and maintain a centralized, authoritative Enterprise Role Catalog used across Business, IT, Identity, and Security functions.
• Partner with designated Enterprise Role Owners to ensure role definitions accurately reflect business intent and operational reality.
• Ensure each Enterprise Role has a clearly documented owner responsible for long-term alignment across people, processes, and systems.

Enterprise Role Ownership, Alignment & Accountability

• Establish and formalize Enterprise Role Owners in collaboration with business and process leadership to ensure clear accountability for role accuracy and sustainability.
• Define and document role owner responsibilities, including stewardship of business responsibilities, L4/L5 process mappings, and application alignment.
• Serve as the primary facilitator connecting role owners, process owners, and application owners to ensure consistent and traceable mapping of people processes systems.
• Enable clear communication, decision-making, and escalation paths for role definition, changes, and exceptions.
• Ensure role owners are actively engaged throughout the role lifecycle, including onboarding of new roles, periodic reviews, and change management.

Business Process Mapping & Analysis

• Partner with business leaders, process owners, and Enterprise Role Owners to document and maintain L4 and L5 business processes across core enterprise domains.
• Translate business process ownership into clear role accountability and responsibility models.
• Ensure accountability for process-to-role mappings is clearly assigned, validated, and documented.
• Align process definitions with ERP-based operating models and enterprise process standards.

Application & Entitlement Mapping

• Map Enterprise Roles to the enterprise applications that support assigned business processes, including ERP, MES, PLM, SCM, Finance, HR, and custom systems.
• Partner with application owners, security teams, and Enterprise Role Owners to define application-level roles and entitlements that support each Enterprise Role.
• Ensure Enterprise Roles translate into consistent, reusable, and least-privilege access models at the application level.
• Validate that application access accurately enables L4/L5 processes without over-provisioning or unnecessary risk.
• Ensure role owners review and approve how Enterprise Roles are implemented across systems.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as a trusted advisor and facilitator to business leaders, role owners, process owners, IT, Security, and Identity teams.
• Lead structured workshops and working sessions to drive consensus on role definitions, process accountability, and system access.
• Resolve conflicts between business needs, system constraints, and security requirements through data-driven analysis and collaboration.
• Influence outcomes across organizational boundaries without direct authority.

Governance, Documentation & Sustainability

• Establish and enforce governance standards for Enterprise Role creation, ownership, change management, and exception handling.
• Produce and maintain high-quality documentation, including:
  • Enterprise Role definitions and descriptions.
  • Role ownership assignments.
  • L4/L5 process-to-role mappings.
  • Application and entitlement mappings.
  • RACI and accountability models.
• Ensure Enterprise Role models support audit, compliance, and internal control requirements (e.g., SOX).
• Design role governance processes that scale with organizational growth, acquisitions, and system evolution.

• Bachelor's degree with 12+ years of experience; or Master's degree with 8+ years of experience; or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst, Business Architect, or similar role in a large, complex enterprise environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting ERP-scale initiatives (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms), particularly in business process and role design.
• Proven experience working with enterprise business processes at the L4 and L5 levels.
• Experience collaborating with or supporting Identity & Access Management (IAM) or role-based access initiatives is strongly preferred.
• Manufacturing and/or semiconductor industry experience is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of end-to-end enterprise business processes and operating models.
• Ability to translate complex business responsibilities into structured, sustainable role models.
• Exceptional facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and disciplined in documentation and governance.
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and execution levels.

• Advanced degree or relevant certifications (CBAP, BPM, TOGAF, SAP-related certifications).
