Job description

Senior Strategic Business Analyst

Job Summary

The Senior Strategic Business Analyst analyzes, defines, and maps organizational processes, stakeholder capabilities, and mission requirements to deliver comprehensive execution plans. The Senior Strategic Business Analyst is responsible for the identification, documentation, and validation of statutory mandates, executive directives, and operational dependencies across multi‑agency boundaries. The analyst utilizes systematic and collaborative frameworks to translate high‑level strategies into clear objectives and actionable requirements for executive decision makers.

Additionally, the Senior Strategic Business Analyst conducts operational gap analyses, traces performance deficiencies back to root causes, and formulates detailed Courses of Action (COAs) including schedule projections and resource allocation mapping to guide organizational modernization and capability expansion.

Due to the sensitive nature of the potential customer agencies, an active Top Secret clearance is highly desired; candidates must, at a minimum, be Top Secret (TS) eligible.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with agency stakeholders, executive leadership, and multi‑disciplinary teams to establish a thorough "Current State" baseline across Statutory Requirements, Customers, Products, Services, and Partnerships.
• Deconstruct complex multi‑agency frameworks to document legal obligations, intended customer touchpoints, product delivery methods, and partner organizational capabilities.
• Define, document, and map desired "End State" environment, including explicit operational assumptions, data needs, output requirements, measures of success, and definitive outcomes.
• Conduct structured gap analyses to identify systemic root causes preventing the organization from meeting mission goals.
• Develop, model, and document comprehensive COAs to address systemic issues, delivery timelines, and resource demands for each option.
• Facilitate executive prioritization sessions to establish actionable implementation schedules, manage critical path dependencies, define delivery constraints, and solidify leadership alignment.
• Formulate comprehensive communication management strategies to prepare agency personnel for procedural updates, shifts in priorities, or structural realignment of resources.
• Support development of technical requirements and acquisition documentation to facilitate IT tools, hardware, or systems procurement and contracting activities.
• Oversee post‑analysis program execution and tracking, providing program visibility, measuring milestone delivery, and anticipating cross‑functional implementation challenges.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Public Policy/Administration, Management Information Systems, Operations Research, Political Science, or related analytical/technical discipline. Master's degree (MBA, MPP, or MS) is highly preferred.
• Experience: Minimum of 10 years of progressive, relevant professional experience supporting federal civilian agencies—homeland security, federal law enforcement, or justice sectors. In lieu of strict degree or years‑of‑experience requirements, an equivalent combination of advanced education, certifications (e.g., PMP, CBAP, Lean Six Sigma), and additional relevant experience may be considered.
• Clearance: Must be Top Secret (TS) eligible. An active TS clearance is highly desired and strongly preferred.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Ability to analyze and comprehend statutory execution guidelines, legislative mandates, and government agency directives, and translate legal drivers into actionable requirements.
• Advanced proficiency in strategic gap analysis, root‑cause isolation, and detailed risk‑adjusted COAs.
• Strong knowledge of project management, integrated master scheduling (IMS), dependency mapping, and milestone monitoring.
• Analytical capabilities to structure and organize highly complex, multi‑layered cross‑organizational architectures.
• Superior capability to draft technical requirements, acquisition plans, and procurement‑ready documentation for complex contracting.
• Excellent presentation and interpersonal skills—communicating operational frameworks and structural shifts to senior leadership and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Proactive self‑starter with background in identifying stakeholder groups, running requirement elicitation workshops, and independently prioritizing operational tracks.
