 Description
 
 
 
 The Business Systems &amp; Technology Analyst is a cross-functional role responsible for helping identify, organize, communicate, document, and execute business systems improvements across Salzman Group.
 
 
 
 Role
 
 
 
 This role reports to the Director &amp; Chief Architect of Business Systems &amp; Technology and works as a peer contributor alongside internal developers and other department resources. It is not a people-management role. Instead, it is a highly collaborative position focused on:
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Project orchestration
 </li>
 <li>
 Stakeholder communication
 </li>
 <li>
 Workflow analysis
 </li>
 <li>
 Documentation
 </li>
 <li>
 Light technical implementation
 </li>
 <li>
 AI-assisted productivity improvement
 </li>
 <li>
 Governance support
 </li>
 <li>
 QA/testing
 </li>
 <li>
 Reporting support
 </li>
 <li>
 Practical problem solving
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 The ideal candidate is curious, organized, technically capable, and comfortable working with people across many different departments. They do not need to be the deepest expert in any single platform on day one. More important is the ability to learn how teams work, understand their systems and workflows, ask good questions, identify true needs, and help turn ambiguous operational problems into practical, durable solutions.
 
 
 
 This Position Blends
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Business analysis
 </li>
 <li>
 Technical project coordination
 </li>
 <li>
 Workflow improvement
 </li>
 <li>
 Documentation
 </li>
 <li>
 QA/testing
 </li>
 <li>
 Reporting support
 </li>
 <li>
 Light coding
 </li>
 <li>
 System configuration
 </li>
 <li>
 AI tool evaluation
 </li>
 <li>
 Policy support
 </li>
 <li>
 Internal consulting
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 The role will work closely with Operations, Warehouse, Accounting &amp; Finance, Sales, Marketing, Customer Support/Tech Support, Product, Purchasing, Logistics, Retail, Roastery Production, vendors, developers, and end users across the organization.
 
 
 Because Business Systems &amp; Technology operates in a small-team environment, planning is fluid and priorities may shift in response to immediate organizational needs. The right candidate will be comfortable moving between planned project work, urgent operational support, stakeholder communication, documentation, hands-on implementation, and exploratory use of new tools.
 
 
 This is a largely on-site role based at our offices in Henrietta, NY, with expectations of availability during the normal business week.
 
 
 
 Key Responsibilities
 
 
 
 
 Stakeholder Communication &amp; Cross-Functional Discovery
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Work directly with teams across the organization to understand their workflows, pain points, tools, data needs, communication gaps, and operational constraints.

 </li>
 <li>
 Translate ambiguous requests into clear problem statements, requirements, scopes, workflows, and project plans.
 </li>
 <li>
 Help determine whether a problem is best solved through technology, automation, reporting, documentation, training, process improvement, AI-assisted tooling, or some combination of these.
 </li>
 <li>
 Serve as an approachable, judgment-free point of contact for teams seeking help from Business Systems &amp; Technology.
