How to Apply for Business Analyst

at The Cadmus Group

🏢 About The Cadmus Group

The Cadmus Group is a mission-driven consulting firm that has been pioneering sustainable change since 1995, focusing on innovative policy and strategic stakeholder engagement. Working here means contributing to meaningful projects that address critical environmental and social challenges, with a collaborative culture that values expertise and impact.

About This Role

As a Business Analyst at Cadmus, you will bridge business needs and technology solutions for risk applications, particularly supporting ServiceNow IRM or similar GRC platforms. Your work will directly enhance the firm's ability to manage enterprise risks through clear requirements, process flows, and user acceptance testing, making a tangible impact on organizational resilience.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with the delivery team to discuss progress on risk application features. You'll then facilitate a requirements workshop with business stakeholders to refine user stories for a new compliance module, followed by documenting process flows and coordinating UAT test cases with QA. The afternoon could involve a meeting with the product owner to prioritize the backlog, and you'll end the day by updating project documentation and tracking defects in ServiceNow.
