• ­Model executable processes: Design end-to-end BPMN 2.0 workflows and DMN decision logic, including user and service tasks, events, gateways, subprocesses, approvals, escalations, retries, rework and manual-intervention paths.
• ­Configure Workflow Center solutions: Configure models, forms, variables, business rules, task assignments and approved platform components; partner with engineers to define service interactions, APIs, data mappings and integration dependencies.
• ­Support end-to-end delivery: Contribute from intake and design through functional testing, UAT, deployment readiness, hypercare and production analysis; prepare test scenarios, investigate defects and maintain delivery and operating documentation.
• ­Embed controls and operational resilience: Model maker-checker controls, evidence requirements, rejection and resubmission, attestations, auditability and exception handling; escalate unclear requirements, conflicting rules and unresolved risks.
• ­Collaborate and communicate: Facilitate workshops and model walkthroughs; explain workflow behaviour in business language; provide concise updates on progress, decisions, dependencies, risks and defects.
• ­Apply standards and promote reuse: Follow BPMN, DMN, documentation, testing, naming and review standards; use and improve reusable patterns, templates, checklists and playbooks.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or related area of study.
• 4+ years of professional experience in workflow modelling, business process management, process automation, business analysis, operations transformation or a related discipline. 
• Hands-on experience creating executable BPMN 2.0 models, with a sound understanding of events, tasks, gateways, subprocesses, messages, timers, boundary events and exception paths. 
• Ability to gather requirements and translate complex or incomplete operational processes into structured models, decision logic and clear documentation. 
• Understanding operational controls, approvals, handoffs, task assignment, SLAs, auditability and exception management. 
• Experience preparing test scenarios, documenting defects and supporting functional testing or UAT. 
• Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills; ability to manage assigned work, raise risks early and collaborate with business and technical stakeholders. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Camunda 8, Camunda Modeler or another executable workflow platform, including BPMN, DMN, forms, variables or connectors. 
• Familiarity with FEEL, REST APIs, JSON, events, messaging, SQL or enterprise-system integrations.
