Qualifications

• 10 or more years of business analysis, data analysis, or data product experience supporting analytics, reporting, or data integration work
• 5 or more years translating business or mission requirements into technical data requirements, including source-to-target mappings and documented business rules
• Expert-level ability to write and debug complex SQL independently, including multi-source joins, aggregations, window functions, and common table expressions
• Demonstrated experience leading a requirements or analysis workstream, including setting standards and reviewing the work of other analysts

• Experience producing and reviewing high-quality written artifacts for Government audiences, including requirements documents, mapping specifications, and data product documentation
• Experience working in an agile delivery environment and managing a prioritized requirements backlog across multiple teams
• Strong client-facing communication skills, with the ability to work credibly with senior Government stakeholders and technical delivery teams
• Ability to lead a workstream, manage competing priorities, and drive work to resolution in a fast-moving environment
• Bachelor's degree in Health Informatics, Information Systems, Business, Analytics, Public Health, or a related field
• U.S. citizenship, and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoW Secret clearance

Responsibilities

• Lead requirements discovery across clinical, operational, financial, and readiness domains, working directly with Government functional owners and data stewards
• Own the quality and consistency of requirements artifacts across the team, including source-to-target mappings, business rules, transformation logic, and acceptance criteria
• Set and enforce standards for data product documentation, data dictionaries, business glossaries, and the metadata required for enterprise catalog registration
• Define data quality frameworks and validation approaches with senior engineers, and confirm that delivered silver and gold data products meet them
• Perform hands-on profiling, validation, and analysis in SQL and modern data platform tooling to resolve requirements questions independently
• Prioritize and sequence the requirements backlog across multiple pipeline and product teams, balancing mission urgency against data readiness
• Represent the delivery team in Government data governance forums, working with Data Domain Owners, Data Domain Stewards, and IT Data Custodians on definitions, access, and authoritative source questions
• Identify data gaps, source system constraints, and governance blockers early, and bring the Government a recommended course of action rather than a problem statement
• Mentor analysts on requirements technique, documentation quality, and hands-on data skills
