SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYST – CONTRACT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CLMS) PROJECT

Our healthcare client is seeking one (1) Business Analyst to support the planning and implementation of a comprehensive Contract Lifecycle Management System (CLMS).

Intially 6 months contract with chances of multiple extensions up to 24 months. Fully remote but candidate must be located in BC, Canada.

The project aims to transition existing contract management practices from largely manual, paper-based and inconsistent processes to standardized, scalable digital workflows within Oracle Fusion CLMS.

The CLMS will support the management of contracts throughout their lifecycle, including contract initiation, approvals, execution, monitoring, reporting and oversight. The project will consider current and future operational requirements, integration with existing Island Health and provincial systems, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and the development of a comprehensive data and contract migration strategy.
