• Communicating the goals, needs, and priorities of the customer to IT teams and guiding development through an Agile mindset.

• Rapidly adjusting to shifts in priorities; managing multiple tasks simultaneously across operations, analysis, and delivery.

• Producing and reviewing substantive documentation reflecting deep knowledge of assigned functional and data domains.

• Working closely with inquiry response, training, and outreach teams to deliver clear end-user materials.

• BS with 5 years or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

• Experience coordinating across the Software Development Life Cycle on a software implementation team.

• Experience analyzing, documenting, and communicating system and business processes.

• Ability to interpret functional requirements, technical impacts, and business rules-including complex or data-intensive logic.

• Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from clients and internal stakeholders.

• Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).

• Experience working in an Agile environment (Jira preferred).

• Ability to make decisions with limited information, navigate ambiguity, and prioritize effectively.

• Strong communication skills, including the ability to clearly explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Candidate must be able to obtain a Public Trust clearance and must have lived in the United States at least three (3) out of the last five (5) years.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Healthcare industry, CMS, Marketplace, or other federal contracting experience.

• Experience working with large datasets, complex calculations, or systems with heavy rules processing.

• Experience interpreting policy or regulatory guidance and translating it into actionable requirements.

• Supervisory or project management experience.

• Experience presenting to medium-large audiences.

• Salesforce experience and/or certifications.

• Familiarity with requirements gathering, user story writing, and acceptance criteria definition.

• Experience collaborating with business analysts, QA testers, and data or policy SMEs.

• Experience supporting iterative delivery, refinement sessions, demos, and other Agile ceremonies.
