About the Opportunity

Job Summary Northeastern University is seeking a collaborative and consultative digital solutions analyst to support the identification, activation, adoption, and ongoing use of AI-enabled and enterprise digital tools across the university. This role blends business analysis, digital solutions engineering fundamentals, consulting, and enablement delivery to help staff adopt practical digital workflows that drive operational efficiency.   This role supports university stakeholders, especially operational leaders, in the effective use of AI-enabled and enterprise digital tools by translating business needs into practical solutions, supporting implementation, creating documentation, and contributing to training and adoption activities tied to day-to-day workflows. The Digital Solutions Analyst works as part of a cross-functional enablement team and collaborates closely with consultants, solutions engineers, and senior enablement staff to identify and deliver consistent, supportable outcomes.   Digital Solutions is evolving from a primarily tools- and training-oriented function into a scalable enablement model focused on embedding AI-enabled and enterprise digital tools into day-to-day workflows and delivering consistent outcomes at scale. In this role, the Digital Solutions Analyst contributes to that model through hands-on identification and support of workflow-focused solutioning, adoption and enablement activities, documentation, and continuous improvement, in partnership with senior enablement staff and technical teams.

Flexibility and a strong sense of urgency are essential for success in this position.   Other duties as required: This role requires flexibility in performing duties outside of the primary responsibilities to support evolving business needs. The ideal candidate must be adaptable and willing to take on additional tasks or projects as required, ensuring smooth operations across the organization. This may include stepping in to assist with cross-functional teams, handling unexpected challenges, or contributing to initiatives that support business growth and success. A proactive mindset and the ability to pivot quickly are essential for thriving in this dynamic environment.   Hybrid work schedule: This role is hybrid and in the office a minimum of three days a week to facilitate collaboration and teamwork. In-office presence is an essential part of our on-campus culture and allows for engaging directly with staff and students, sharing ideas, and contributing to a dynamic work environment.
