We are seeking a Student Record Systems Lead to join the Student Information System Core project organization, responsible for completing hands-on functional and technical project activities to support the implementation of the Campus Solutions Financial Aid module. The Student Record Systems Lead will work with the other leads in the other functional areas (Admissions, Student Record, Student Financials, Academic Advising) to ensure cross-functional synergies throughout the project activities.

This position is a professional role that will work simultaneously on different workstreams of the project, including system design/configuration, data conversion, integration requirements, and reporting.

Working alongside our implementation partner, the Student Record Systems Lead performs the following functions in support of the project efforts:

• Analyzing functional requirements
• Managing design and technical specifications
• Mapping journeys
• Process and Functional design
• Prototyping, testing, training, defining support procedures
• Author, edit, and maintain a variety of project and future support documentation artifacts that may include: service level documentation, business, and functional requirements, agile stories and acceptance criteria, user acceptance test plans, user documentation, training materials, knowledge articles, standard operational process, and procedure documents

This position will demonstrate and explain key product features and provide knowledge transfer to other workstreams of the project team, where needed. Once the solution and processes are implemented, this role will be a point person for post-launch support. The Student Information System (SIS) Renewal program is a Boston University-wide effort to modernize the Information Technology systems in order to better serve our students and support the university’s strategic priorities while mitigating the technical risk our current, custom-developed, mainframe based SIS presents.

Over the next three years, the SIS Renewal Program team and implementation partner Deloitte Consulting will configure and launch new processes and systems for Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Records, Curriculum Management, Student Advising, Student Financials, and Student Employment. Related changes to the process and tools for creating student BUIDs and system access, as well as academic reporting and data analytics will also be included. Implementation will occur in phases, with the first new service capabilities launching in summer 2022 and the last in fall 2023.
