8. Overall Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is a senior healthcare Business Analyst with extensive clinical stakeholder engagement experience, proven change management capabilities, and a strong background in healthcare information system implementation. The candidate must demonstrate substantial experience with the Altera Sunrise application suite, clinical workflow transformation, project coordination, communications, and end-user training.
Important screening consideration: This is a specialized senior-level role. General business analysis, administrative, payroll, or customer service experience alone would not satisfy the stated requirements. The most significant differentiators are the mandatory PRINCE2 and Prosci certifications, the required years of healthcare experience, and the specific Altera Sunrise implementation experience.
The experience examples in the submission should clearly identify the project or employer, dates and duration, healthcare setting, responsibilities performed, relevant deliverables, and how each example meets the corresponding evaluation criterion. Avoid counting overlapping project periods twice toward a required total unless the procurement instructions explicitly permit it.
