Do you enjoy digging into data, improving processes and helping teams work smarter? United Way of Connecticut is looking for a Business Solutions Analyst who can connect business needs, technology and data to help our programs operate effectively.

In this role, you’ll work across teams to understand business requirements, analyze workflows, support application testing, maintain data integrity and develop reports that help leaders make informed decisions. If you’re analytical, organized and enjoy turning complex information into practical solutions, this could be a great opportunity for you.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Hybrid Schedule – work remotely most of the week with one required in-office day at our Rocky Hill, CT office.

A Day in the Life

You might start your day reviewing data for accuracy, then meet with a program team to better understand a reporting or system need. Later, you could be testing an application enhancement, troubleshooting a workflow or creating a report that helps leadership understand program outcomes.
