At Groupe Alesco, we put our expertise to work for people by supporting them on their financial journey. Born from the merger of several growing business units, our mission is to provide peace of mind to our clients by offering them alternative financial solutions.

In the role of Senior Business Analyst, the candidate will act as an expert in organizational analysis upstream of strategic and structuring projects, clarifying business needs, documenting processes, and formulating recommendations for transformation or optimization.

• Assess the relevance of using an external resource (e.g., AG) to improve organizational design, processes, and practices.
• Be in the office at least two days per week.
• Perform any other tasks assigned by your immediate supervisor or related to the position.
