About the Job:
The Information & Technology Services department is looking for an Business Applications Analyst or Senior Business Applications Analyst with a problem-solving mindset and a curiosity for figuring out how technology can work better for the people who rely on it.
Working across enterprise applications that support functions throughout the Airport Authority—including construction and capital projects, finance, project controls, and other business operations—this role will configure systems, improve workflows, troubleshoot complex issues, develop integrations and automation, and translate business needs into practical technology solutions.
Experience with SAN's specific application suite isn't required; experience solving similar business systems challenges and the ability to learn a new technology environment are what matter.
Depending on experience, the selected candidate may join SAN at the Business Applications Analyst or Senior Business Applications Analyst level, with the Senior level taking greater ownership of complex solutions, technical strategy, and cross-functional initiatives.
The ideal candidate is someone who likes a good systems puzzle: resourceful, collaborative, and energized by problems that don't come with an instruction manual. SAN operates within a complex, established enterprise technology environment, where the answer isn't always a new application or an out-of-the-box solution. Sometimes it means getting under the hood of an existing system, understanding how information moves between platforms, and finding a creative way forward.
This is an opportunity to work alongside like-minded problem solvers who aren't afraid to pull out a piece of paper, map out a challenge together, question what isn't working, and keep at it until they find a solution.
What You’ll Do:
Lead Application Solutions: Serve as a technology partner across the Airport Authority, helping teams solve business challenges and improve how enterprise applications support their work.
Configure & Enhance Systems: Design, configure, maintain, and enhance enterprise applications—including PMWeb and Oracle JDE E1—to support construction, capital planning, finance, cost management, project controls, and other business operations.
Automate Processes: Build and improve workflows, forms, data elements, and other automations that simplify processes and make systems work better for users.
Connect Systems: Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot integrations between enterprise applications, using tools such as MTG and Magic xpi to improve how information moves across systems.
Translate Business Needs: Partner with users to understand challenges, document functional and technical requirements, test solutions end to end, and turn business needs into workable technology solutions.
Shape Technology Solutions: Develop project strategies, business cases, and roadmaps while helping cross-functional teams evaluate options and determine practical paths forward.
Partner Across Airport Authority: Collaborate with business users, technology teams, and vendors to troubleshoot complex issues, identify opportunities for improvement, implement solutions, and support successful adoption.
The Skills You Need: Influence — Builds support for ideas, recommendations, projects, and technology solutions across teams and stakeholders.
Critical Evaluation — Breaks down complex problems, asks the right questions, evaluates options, and identifies practical solutions.
Collaboration — Builds effective working relationships, listens to different perspectives, navigates competing needs, and works with others to solve problems.
Communication — Translates technical concepts and business needs clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Technical Ability — Applies technical knowledge to understand complex systems, troubleshoot issues, and develop effective solutions; at the Senior level, serves as a subject matter expert on specialized systems and projects.
Project Management — Organizes work, coordinates resources and stakeholders, and keeps technology projects moving toward successful completion.

The Business & Systems Applications team works at the intersection of technology and airport operations, partnering with departments across Airport Authority to understand business needs and turn them into practical technology solutions. The team supports and enhances enterprise applications, improves workflows, develops integrations and automation, troubleshoots complex system challenges, and helps ensure the technology employees rely on continues to meet evolving business needs.
