ONLY LOCALS TO THE RESTON, VA AREA

Terms of Employment:

• This is a Hybrid schedule at Reston, VA (Local candidates) (2 days per week onsite)

Overview:

Our client is seeking a Lead Business Analyst who thrives in high-stakes environments and excels at transforming ambiguity into execution. You aren’t just a requirement gatherer; you are a strategic partner who bridges the gap between complex technical systems and tangible business value.

As a hands‑on leader, you will own the lifecycle of clarity—from deconstructing "big picture" problems to refining the granular details that empower our Engineering and Product teams to build with precision.

Responsibilities:

• Rapidly translate complex, ambiguous business challenges into clear, actionable functional and non-functional requirements.
• Drive the end‑to‑end lifecycle of the product backlog, including strategic prioritization, continuous refinement, and meticulous management within a SAFe/Agile framework.
• Act as a bilingual translator between business stakeholders and technical teams. You will work directly with engineers and data scientists to navigate complex system architectures and data flows.
• Collaborate closely with Product Management to define vision and with Engineering to ensure technical feasibility, always maintaining a sharp focus on business ROI and risk mitigation.
• Anticipate downstream dependencies and potential blockers before they arise. You don't wait for direction; you drive the momentum of the work.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or a related field plus 8 years of progressive analytical experience (Business/Systems Analysis or Testing). Without a degree must have a total of 12 years of relevant professional experience.
• Health care experience is required
• Proven track record of high-level analytical thinking and the ability to "unstick" stalled projects through clarity and logic.
• Deep, practical experience in SAFe or Agile environments, specifically in leading ceremonies and managing high‑velocity backlogs.
• Comfort level with complex systems, data structures, and technical documentation—you should be able to hold your own in a room full of developers.
• A "go-getter" mentality with the confidence to take initiative, challenge assumptions, and push projects toward the finish line.
• Exceptional ability to articulate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and vice versa.
• High‑level verbal/written skills with the ability to facilitate stakeholder meetings and provide mentorship/training to others.
• Strong organizational and time‑management abilities.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Demonstrated ability to have led the delivery of high quality, effective deliverables on‑time and be a significant contributor to the development of cost‑effective solutions.
• Expert understanding of business analysis core competencies
• Prior business analysis coaching and mentoring experience.
