Job Description

YOU never MET A PROBLEM
YOU COULDN'T SOLVE
The Opportunity
** This is a temporary full-time position for 12 months **
Internal Job Title: Analyst, Business Analysis
The word "problem" isn't even in your vocabulary. You prefer to think of it as a challenge waiting for you to work your analytical magic. In fact, when one of your clients describes a challenging situation to you, your brain is already turning it into a query. You love the idea of transforming data into critical information and knowledge and have a burning desire to seek out innovative new technologies that can be used to make sound business decisions.
We're looking for a Business Data Analyst with a knack for data and the ability to shape a project from start to finish. Someone who can work with subject matter experts as well as business and operational leaders in order to determine requirements, define key performance indicators and develop insights into and solutions for business problems.

Together, we help protect the things that matter most to our more than one-million members--everything from roadside safety to retail savings, food security to childhood well-being. And with operations that span automotive, registries, travel, insurance and more, the opportunities to grow with us are almost limitless!
Building on a century of proud service in Alberta communities, we're passionate about making a meaningful difference in the places where we live and work. And that all begins with our people. As part of the AMA team, you'll enjoy:

• You handle even the tightest deadlines with a cool head and clear vision.
• You've always been passionate about how data and technology can help solve business problems.
• You love to share thoughts and ideas - after all, two heads are always better than one.
• You're a born organizer and a stickler for details, which allows you to juggle multiple tasks effortlessly and somehow always manage to stay ahead of things. We like that about you!
