The Senior Business Analyst will gather and manage requirements on the Telesat Business systems. The role will work collaboratively with business leaders, project managers, technical leads, vendor architects and subject matter experts to develop and manage the function and non-functional requirements for the various software systems across the corporation. The Senior Business Analyst is responsible for working with stakeholders to elicit business and system requirements, and to develop a system specification that will meet the requirements. The Senior Business Analyst then works with the implementation teams to ensure that the system delivered conforms to the specifications and meets the requirements.

Main Responsibilities

  • Act as the Senior Business Analyst for the Revenue Management stream within Agile delivery teams, supporting the design, configuration and rollout of BSS capabilities across the Lead-to-Cash lifecycle (Salesforce, Netcracker, EDP/ODP and related platforms).
  • Elicit, analyze and manage end-to-end business and system requirements spanning product catalog and pricing, rating and charging, billing and invoicing, taxation, collections, dispute and adjustment handling, revenue assurance and revenue recognition.
  • Own requirements traceability for the quote-to-cash chain — ensuring quote, order, provisioning and usage events flow accurately through to invoice, general ledger and revenue recognition, with controls in place to prevent revenue leakage.
  • Partner with Finance, Commercial and vendor (Netcracker) teams to define monetization and billing requirements for LEO enterprise services across aviation, maritime, government and fixed use cases, including complex, multi-party and wholesale/partner settlement models.
  • Translate business needs into clear functional and non-functional requirements, user stories, use cases and acceptance criteria, and maintain full traceability using requirements management tooling (Jama, Jira, Confluence).
  • Document current- and future-state revenue business processes, working with business owners to confirm business requirements before functional design and securing business sign-off prior to build.
  • Groom and prioritize the backlog, clarify requirements for developers and testers, and validate that delivered functionality conforms to specification and meets the defined business outcomes.
  • Define and support user acceptance testing, test cases and defect triage for revenue functions, ensuring data integrity across billing, finance interfaces and reporting.
  • Lead requirement workshops and facilitate cross-functional stakeholder groups to reach consensus, balancing commercial, operational, finance and technical perspectives.

  • Experience designing Quote-to-Order / Quote-to-Cash processes on Salesforce
  • Proven ability to author BRDs, user stories, process maps, test strategies and acceptance criteria, and to maintain requirements traceability using tooling such as Jama, Jira and Confluence
