Description
Summary:
The Technology Service Assurance Analyst supports the expansion and maturation of Associate Technology Services by strengthening service assurance, governance, program execution, quality assurance, reporting, and benefit realization across the ATS portfolio.

- Support the ATS PMO and governance framework, including artifact standards, lifecycle documentation, and process adherence.

Reporting & Insights
- Develop, maintain, and refine operational, program health, and executive-ready reporting in partnership with ATS Service Assurance leadership.
- Translate operational and service data into clear, actionable insights that support decision-making, prioritization, and value tracking.
- Ensure reporting artifacts are accurate, consistent, defensible, and audit ready.
Benefit Realization & Cost Optimization
- Support the identification, documentation, and tracking of cost savings, cost avoidance, and efficiency gains associated with ATS initiatives.
- Assist in validating assumptions, baselines, and realized outcomes to ensure benefit claims are credible and repeatable.
- Maintain supporting documentation required for leadership review, audits, and governance validation.
Documentation & Knowledge Management
- Develop and maintain ATS documentation, including standards, playbooks, process descriptions, and validation artifacts.
- Ensure documentation supports consistency, scalability, and knowledge transfer, reducing reliance on individual contributors.
- Partner with ATS leaders to improve documentation quality, structure, and usability.
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with Site Support, Service Desk, Asset Management, and Digital Experience teams to ensure alignment with ATS service assurance objectives.
- Participate in structured feedback loops and continuous improvement efforts to elevate service quality and outcomes.
- Support leadership initiatives related to service alignment, maturity, and organizational effectiveness.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

- Experience supporting project or program coordination, reporting, or governance activities.
