• Own user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional tests in line with agile best practices.
• Lead functional testing and quality reviews to confirm business and design requirements are met.
• Contribute to test-plan development and execution and help create and deliver end-user training.
• Support Organizational Change Management by clearly explaining the future-state solution and its impact.
• Build trusted relationships with customers, stakeholders, and subject‑matter experts across the organization.
• Break down complex business problems, identify root causes, and recommend practical solution options.
• Mentor junior team members and promote consistent business‑analysis practices across engagements.
• Apply public-health domain knowledge, when available, to accelerate discovery and solution design for public‑sector health programs.

What We Expect of You

• Bachelor’s degree and 3+ years of experience designing and developing process workflows and drafting stories. Or, 7+ years of experience designing and developing process workflows and drafting stories.
• Experience with business analysis methods, requirements documentation, and process modeling.
• Strong working knowledge of requirements gathering software support, data mining tools, business process mapping and visual diagramming, and Microsoft Office applications
• Proven ability to elicit functional and business requirements
• Demonstrated work experience in process definition including facilitation, process documentation, change control, and process improvement
• Experience in evaluating information, identifying risks and opportunities, while possessing creative problem‑solving skills with an understanding of business concepts and models at all organizational maturity levels.
• History of balancing multiple priorities simultaneously with the ability to adapt to the changing needs of the business while meeting deadlines
• Seeks ways to improve processes, from small tweaks to complete re‑engineering. Identifies and creates processes necessary to get work done
• Familiarity with cost/benefit and ROI data analysis, core business financial concepts and how they are attached to value and risk, a plus
• Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), Project Management Professional (PMP), Agile SAFe, or Scrum Master, a plus.
• Knowledge of ITIL, a plus.
