About the Role

We are looking for a versatile Business Analyst to serve as a true extension of our operations and leadership team — the person we turn to for answers across the full range of analysis our test center business demands. We operate our own network of test centers and work with delivery partners including PSI and ETS. You will own a broad and evolving mix of analytical work, taking ambiguous questions and turning them into clear, data-backed answers that drive decisions. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can work independently, anticipate what is needed, and become the analytical backbone the team relies on.

Role Responsibilities

• Act as the central analytical resource for test center operations, taking on a wide and shifting range of analysis requests from leadership and cross-functional teams.
• Analyze test center performance across our network — capacity and seat utilization, scheduling, candidate volumes, no-show and cancellation trends, geographic coverage, and cost per delivery.
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports tracking operational KPIs such as throughput, SLA adherence, wait times, and delivery incidents.
• Translate open-ended business questions into structured analyses — defining the right metrics, sourcing the data, and delivering clear recommendations.
• Support demand forecasting and capacity planning, including high-volume testing windows.
• Monitor the performance of testing partners (PSI, ETS, and others) against operational and SLA expectations.
• Conduct root-cause analysis on operational issues — delivery failures, scheduling conflicts, candidate complaints — and recommend process improvements.
• Partner across operations, IT, finance, and vendor management; document requirements for system and process improvements.
• Present findings to leadership in clear, decision-ready formats and proactively surface insights before they are requested.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Requirements

• Strong communication skills — able to translate data into a clear story for non-technical stakeholders.
• Self-starter who can manage multiple competing priorities with minimal oversight.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the testing, assessment, certification, or examination industry.
• Familiarity with test delivery operations and partners such as PSI, ETS, Pearson VUE, or Prometric.
• Capacity planning, demand forecasting, or vendor/SLA management experience.
