Business Analyst – Infor M3 ERP and Business Intelligence

Job Description

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically proficient Business Analyst to support Business Intelligence, analytics requirements definition, and related enterprise technology initiatives. This role is focused on helping business stakeholders articulate their reporting, dashboard, KPI, data, and analytics needs so they can be translated into clear, actionable BI requirements. Familiarity with Infor M3 ERP is highly valuable, but the primary objective is not to define ERP solutions;

it is to clarify business questions, operational pain points, decision‑making needs, and data requirements that enable effective BI solutions across manufacturing, distribution, supply chain, finance, procurement, customer service, and related business capabilities.

As a Business Analyst, you will serve as a bridge between business stakeholders, BI developers, data engineers, Scrum Masters, project managers, vendors, and technical teams. You will facilitate discovery, help the business explain what information they need and why, document reporting and analytics requirements, define KPIs and business rules, support backlog readiness, and help ensure BI, data, ERP‑related reporting, and integration solutions are delivered with clarity, quality, and measurable business value.

The role is expected to help establish repeatable standards for requirements management, user story development, acceptance criteria, process documentation, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement as the organization continues to scale Agile delivery practices.

• Use Infor M3 ERP process knowledge as helpful business context when clarifying reporting, dashboard, KPI, and analytics requirements across supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, inventory management, sales order management, distribution, finance, customer service, and planning.
• Distinguish between needs that can be met through existing ERP functionality and needs that require BI, reporting, data modeling, integration, or analytics support.
• Lead the definition of reporting and dashboard requirements by helping stakeholders clarify business questions, decision needs, KPIs, metrics, data definitions, usage patterns, priorities, and expected outcomes for BI solutions.
• Analyze ERP and enterprise data to identify trends, risks, root causes, process gaps, and opportunities for improved decision‑making.
• Validate data integrity across ERP and reporting platforms and support data governance, master data quality, and data mapping initiatives.
• Develop detailed functional specifications for custom development, system integrations, APIs, interface requirements, and data flows.
• Write or validate SQL queries to investigate data issues, confirm reporting logic, and support technical analysis.
