About Skiffra

Skiffra is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We translate complex, real-world environments into explicit, actionable data.
While most AI companies focus on digital industries, we design AI native orchestration systems for the sectors that extract, move, and build ecosystems around us. We turn messy, high stakes operations into intelligent, adaptive workflows that improve decisions in real time.
Our first proving ground is mining and natural resources, but the platform is modular by design and built to scale into any industry where decisions are expensive and the consequences are real.

About the role

As Business Analyst, you'll assist with mapping how operations really run. Translating multiple systems into documented processes and system requirements, and turning what you find into tools the client can use.

You'll spend real time at our client site— roughly a week a month, more during intensive mapping phases — learning the work directly from the people who run maintenance, the fleet, the plant, and payroll, in French. The rest of your time you'll be based in Montreal, working with Skiffra's IT, engineering and product team to turn process insight into production tools.

What you'll do

- Map and document business processes end to end — maintenance, fleet, plant, supply chain, HR, and finance — in a consistent, build-ready notation such as BPMN.

- Go on site, run workshops, and surface the gap between how a process is documented and how it actually runs.

- Quantify the value at stake and turn your analysis into a working tool: a dashboard, data pipeline, or workflow app





- Establish the financial baseline and post-implementation KPIs for every tool you build — cost, time, and error-rate impact — and maintain a running scorecard so the value of each implementation is provable in dollars, not just described.

- Analyze integrations between operational and enterprise systems, and specify the data that has to move between them — its owner, its quality, its lineage.

- Translate operational language into system requirements, and system behaviour back into language the site understands — you are the interpreter between the mine and the technology function.

- Establish process ownership: every process you document gets a named business owner who signs off and keeps it current.

- Train client users, hand over ownership, and document what you build.

What you’ll need

- Experience in business analysis or business process mapping, ideally with exposure to an industrial, asset-intensive, or mining environment.

- Working-level SQL and Python, and comfort with a BI or low-code tool.

- Practical exposure to an ERP — SAP strongly preferred.

- Comfort running workshops and translating between operational staff and technical teams.

- Understanding of data governance concepts: ownership, lineage, and quality.

- Fluent French and working English — the site operates in French; group standards and vendors work in English.





- Based in Montreal and available to travel regularly to the operation site, on the order of once a month.

Nice to have

- Prior exposure to mining, heavy industry, or another asset-intensive operating environment.

- Experience in a carve-out, post-acquisition, or greenfield environment where documentation had to be created rather than inherited.

- Familiarity with a modern data platform — lakehouse, lineage tooling, semantic modelling.

- Time in a startup or founding-stage environment.

À propos de Skiffra

Skiffra est une plateforme d'orchestration native à l'IA pour les opérations industrielles du monde physique, en commençant par le secteur minier et les ressources naturelles. Les données opérationnelles sont aujourd'hui emprisonnées dans les PGI, les historiens de données et les systèmes d'équipement — elles n'atteignent jamais les personnes qui prennent des décisions en temps réel. Nous bâtissons la couche d'intelligence qui change cela, en travaillant directement à l'intérieur des sites et des systèmes de nos clients plutôt que de l'extérieur.

À propos du poste

En tant qu'analyste d'affaires (Business Analyst), vous participerez à la cartographie du fonctionnement réel des opérations. Vous traduirez les données issues de multiples systèmes en processus documentés et en exigences fonctionnelles, tout en transformant vos conclusions en outils exploitables par le client.

Vous passerez du temps sur le terrain, dans les locaux du client — environ une semaine par mois, voire davantage lors des phases intensives de cartographie — pour appréhender le travail directement auprès des éq
