Morneau Shepell too, or, rather Glassdoor!
Here we go again and again from Glassdoor: typos in orange, brainos in blue, plus my analysis of the job description ...looks like I am becoming a forensic editor instead of an employed BA!
Looks like it may be the same person authoring these job descriptions: missing words, pairing nouns in plural with verbs in singular, uneven tone (mixing imperatives with continuous tense), verbosity, undecided punctuation style. And that botched 'thoroughly thought through' ...what a pen twister!
And then...what exactly is "professional acumen"? what exactly are "testing documents"? what does it mean "meeting requirements" ... requirements and deadlines packaged together in one sentence will offend the "professional acumen" of any genuine business analyst. The specific technical qualifications are not listed. Last but not least, lack of visual separators makes the lecture of this compact text uninviting and inefficient.

You’re a problem-solver and capable of proposing options to support business decision making. You also have an interest to understand the industry and business processes of the department. You focus on understanding what the user really needs and design solutions that add value, are feasible and can be implemented within budget.
A typical day
You’ll meet with business stakeholders, developers and system architects to gather the information you need to create wireframes, process models and detailed functional specifications. You’ll investigate and research both new business issues and requests for changes to our systems depending on the nature of the request. Throughout the software lifecycle, you will support developers, IT QA specialists and business UAT resources to clarify requirements. Occasionally you’ll do the testing, too. As a change is rolled out, you’ll help your business stakeholders understand how it works and how to use it.
