Description
PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

The primary role of the Project Analyst is to support the development and implementation of major enhancements and new releases to the Retirement Plan Services (RPS) Operations record keeping system. In addition, the Project Analyst may, at times, support testing and issue resolution relative to other systems and processes involved in the RPS record keeping environment (i.e. RPS Front End Systems, RPS Loan Paperwork). This includes but is not limited to working with RPS, TRP Operations (TRPO) and TRP Information Technology (TRPIT) on developing system requirements, testing system functionality, identifying and resolving issues, developing implementation plans and providing post production support. The Project Analyst also represents the business view/perspective on all project related activities and meetings.
