Job Description

 The Bureau of Medical Marijuana (BMM) is currently working with a vendor to implement an Enterprise Licensing System (ELS).  The ELS system is an enterprise-wide system where licensing, permitting and certifying functions of various Commonwealth Departments will be located.  BMM is currently using paper-based, Access-based, and Excel-based methods to track the work of facility permitting.  ELS will take current facility permitting functions and automate them for more efficient and accurate tracking and completion of permitting functions. 

 BMM needs an IT Business Analyst (BA) to lead the technical effort for our Enterprise Licensing System (ELS) implementation.  This effort includes developing user stories; coordinating user testing; developing staff training materials; delivering staff training in virtual and real-world enviroments; working with internal and external teams on ELS system fixes; developing workflows for future ELS enhancements; and providing IT support for BMM ELS users.

 Additionally, BMM’s staff BA is currently deployed oversees until approximately October 2024.  BMM needs a short-term BA contractor to fill in for projects until the staff BA returns. Those projects include support for digital accessibility of BMM website and web-based patient and care giver identity card applications.  The BA would assist with SharePoint site management and potential conversion of existing BMM share drive files to SharePoint.  The BA will also provide technical advice as needed on IT-related projects if necessary.

 In addition to these duties, this person will also assist BMM in supporting its Seed-to-Sale and Registry applications as needed.  BMM’s primary resource for providing these services has indicated a desire to scale back hours in the coming months, and the BA will assist the support team in maintenance and operations functions.  Anticipated duties for this effort include preparing analytical reports, resolving basic system issues identified via error queues, and assisting with daily system support tasks. Furthermore, with the Seed-to-Sale RFP scheduled for release and award, the BA position will be needed to aid in the transition. Anticipated duties for this effort include managing system documentation (requirements, specifications, defects, change orders, etc.), preparing test scripts, conducting pre- and post-production testing, and developing user training.
