About the role

  • The IT Vendor Operations team sits at the intersection of business and technology, triaging, troubleshooting, and resolving technical issues across tools and systems.
  • As a Business Systems Analyst, you serve as the first line of defense for technical problems, investigate unexpected behaviors, and bridge business teams and engineering partners.

Responsibilities

  • Support identity and access management administration for an entire suite of applications, balancing routine operational tasks with complex, non-routine requests requiring investigation and specialized attention.
  • Triage and resolve technical support tickets spanning Salesforce, Amazon Connect, Toolbox, Regulator, Registry, internal tax tools, and other internal & external systems.
  • Troubleshoot bugs, system errors, and unexpected behaviors reported by internal team members and escalate to engineering when needed.
  • Process and validate access requests for various systems and roles.
  • Perform system validation to ensure tools work as intended for support teams and customers.
  • Manage technical escalations through Jira, coordinating with engineering and product teams to drive resolution.
  • Support SEV management as a liaison between support teams and engineers during critical system incidents.
  • Automate and improve operational workflows to reduce manual effort and improve response times.
  • Document troubleshooting steps, known issues, and resolution paths to build a shared knowledge base.
  • Partner cross-functionally with teams across Block to identify recurring pain points and advocate for systemic fixes.

Requirements

  • Experience in IT support, business systems, or technical operations.
  • Familiarity with Salesforce administration or configuration (flows, queues, skills, user management).
  • Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills to break down a vague bug report into a clear, reproducible issue.
  • Effective and clear communication (written and verbal) for translating between technical and non-technical audiences daily.
  • Comfort working in Jira or similar ticketing systems for tracking and managing work.
  • Ability to read and interpret code, logs, and system configurations.
  • Methodical, highly organized, and detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy.
  • A bias toward action.
