The implementation follows an aggressive timeline divided into four key phases: Mobilization, Core Operations, Fully Functional Delivery, and Steady-state Operations.

This effort demands a collaborative team capable of maintaining operational continuity throughout the transition and into operations. You will be working with a primary legal team providing the CMS to the lawyers working each individual case.

Core Responsibilities:

• RTM Management: Own and maintain the master RTM, managing all traced items including data elements, metrics, security, API connections, and contractual obligations.
• Develop Quality and Risk Management Plans: assist in the establishment and compliance with the contract policies, procedures, and standards.
• End-to-End Mapping: Maintain current links that connect high-level requirements to specific technical designs, backlog items, configuration/code, and test cases.
• Evidence-Based Acceptance: Ensure that no requirement is marked as "Closed" without objective evidence of completion that passes identified exit criteria. Root cause analysis when deficiencies are identified.
• Release Governance: Provide the essential "Completeness Check" for each phases exit gate, ensuring that all work products delivered align with the compliance baseline.
• RAID Integration: Work closely with the Project Manager to log any missing specifications or requirement conflicts in the RAID (Risk, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies) structure, identifying the impact on specific work packages.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Collaborate with the team to ensure that "requirements-first" design principles are followed across all workstreams.

Required Skills and Experience: 7+ years of experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Requirements Expertise: Proven experience managing complex RTMs for large-scale ERP or CRM implementations, preferably within a federal or high-compliance context.
• Technical Literacy: Familiarity with Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Azure Integration Services to effectively map requirements to "configuration-first" solutions.
• Compliance Knowledge: Understanding of traceability requirements for sensitive data environments, including NIST SP 800-53 security controls and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) standards.
• Analytical Rigor: Ability to maintain meticulous records and verify "objective evidence" for a high volume of work products (61+ distinct artifacts) under an aggressive 120-day timeline.

Implementation Milestones & Success Criteria:

• Mobilization: Successful establishment of the RTM and backlog baseline by Day 20.
• Functional Delivery: Continuous validation of all automations, data elements, and metrics against the RTM.
• Final Transition-In: Production of a final reconciliation report and completion notice by the transition deadline, proving all cases are accounted for and all requirements are met.
