Business Analyst Intern

Job Summary

The Business Analyst Intern supports the company's Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) implementation and stabilization effort by helping to scope and document reporting needs for business users across each department, including sales, engineering, operations, finance, and projects. This internship is a hands-on opportunity to learn how a manufacturing ERP environment works end to end, gain exposure to Dynamics 365 F&O, and build core business analysis skills such as requirements gathering, process mapping, and stakeholder communication. The intern will work closely with the D365 project lead, department stakeholders, and consulting partners to help translate day-to-day business needs into clear, actionable reporting requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Meet with department stakeholders (sales, engineering, operations, finance, and projects) to gather and document current reporting needs and pain points.
• Help scope reporting requirements by identifying what data users need, how often, and in what format (e.g., Power BI dashboard, D365 Financial Reporter, static export).
• Organize and maintain a running log of reporting requests by department, including priority, status, and owner.
• Support the D365 project team in mapping existing manual reports and spreadsheets to potential D365 F&O or Power BI solutions.
• Attend departmental and project meetings to take notes, capture action items, and follow up on open questions.

• Support other ad hoc project coordination and documentation tasks as assigned.
• Must comply with the company's safety policies.

Qualifications

• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple requests from different departments at once.
• Interest in ERP systems, business process improvement, or data reporting; no prior D365 experience required.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to ask clarifying questions of non-technical stakeholders.
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel and PowerPoint; exposure to Power BI a plus.
• Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while keeping the project lead informed of progress.
• Curious, detail-oriented mindset with a willingness to learn manufacturing and ERP concepts quickly.
