MacEwan University is seeking a Senior Enterprise Solutions Analyst for a full-time continuing opportunity with Information Technology Services.
The Senior Enterprise Solutions Analyst acts as a technical liaison between developers and business stakeholders and is responsible for gathering and analyzing business requirements related to enterprise applications and systems and producing detailed technical design specifications to address specific business needs. The role focuses on enterprise applications supporting admissions, enrolment, student records, curriculum management, academic scheduling, and related student services functions.
Specializing in enterprise platforms that support the student lifecycle, academic scheduling, and institutional operations, this role provides analysis and solution design expertise for systems including PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Infosilem Academic, Infosilem Campus, and associated integrations and third-party applications.

Acting as a bridge between business users and IT teams, the Senior Enterprise Solutions Analyst evaluates escalated issues, determines whether custom development or integration is required, and ensures solutions align with both operational needs and technical feasibility. This role is also key in communicating requirements to either an internal development team or third-party developers for effort estimation and execution.
