Business Analyst

Are you a Business Analyst with experience in payroll, HR, or large-scale process change? We’re partnering with an aerospace organization in Plainville, Connecticut, to find a professional who can support an important payroll transformation initiative.

In this role, you’ll help evaluate current payroll operations, gather and define business requirements, and support the transition from a semi-monthly payroll cycle to a bi-weekly arrears schedule. You’ll work closely with payroll, HR, finance, and other cross-functional teams to help ensure the change is efficient, compliant, and well-coordinated.

What You’ll Do

• Review current payroll processes to identify workflow gaps, risks, and dependencies related to the payroll schedule change.
• Partner with payroll, human resources, finance, and other stakeholders to gather and document business requirements.
• Help translate business needs into practical process improvements that support the move to a bi-weekly arrears payroll structure.
• Review policies, procedures, and supporting documentation to ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance.
• Facilitate conversations across teams, including customer service or call center contacts when employee communication support is needed.
• Support Agile project activities by helping clarify priorities, refine requirements, and contribute to sprint discussions.
• Develop process maps, impact assessments, and gap analyses to support implementation planning.
• Participate in testing, issue tracking, and validation efforts to support a successful rollout.
