Requirements

• Lead requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, validation, and change management throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Maintain the requirements baseline and Requirements Traceability Matrix, ensuring requirements remain connected to system functionality, testing, and contract deliverables.

• Facilitate working sessions with Government stakeholders, resolve conflicting requirements, and document decisions and follow-up actions.
• Model business processes, workflows, system states, routing rules, and data exchanges.
• Develop and maintain functional documentation, including process models, data mappings, business rules, and data dictionaries.
• Manage assumptions, dependencies, risks, and unresolved business decisions that could affect system delivery.

• Partner with engineering and QA teams to confirm that implemented functionality and test coverage align with approved requirements.
• Produce documentation suitable for customer handoff, system transition, and ongoing operations.

• 8+ years of experience as a business analyst, systems analyst, functional analyst, or requirements lead.
• Experience supporting federal technology programs or similarly regulated environments.
• Demonstrated experience managing a formal requirements baseline, change-control process, and Requirements Traceability Matrix.
• Strong requirements elicitation and facilitation skills, including experience working with senior stakeholders and resolving competing priorities.
• Ability to write clear, atomic, and testable requirements, user stories, business rules, and acceptance criteria.
• Experience with business-process modeling, data mapping, workflow analysis, and data-dictionary development.
• Strong technical writing skills with the ability to communicate effectively with end users, engineers, testers, program leaders, and Government stakeholders.
• Sufficient technical literacy to understand application workflows, interfaces, data structures, and system behavior and to collaborate effectively with engineering teams.
• Familiarity with Agile delivery practices, backlog management, user acceptance testing, and configuration or change management.
• Experience using modern documentation and collaboration tools. Familiarity with Markdown, Git-based workflows, branches, pull requests, and version history is strongly desired.
• Excellent organization, troubleshooting, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities across multiple concurrent engagements.
• Active Department of Defense Top Secret clearance.
• DoD 8570/8140 baseline certification, with Security+ CE or an accepted equivalent.
