Position Description & Qualifications

Are you looking for a Requirements Analyst opportunity where you can make a difference every day? Discover this exciting opportunity supporting a critical Joint Interagency mission in Key West, Florida. Bring your analytical expertise, facilitation skills, and passion for mission impact to support U.S. national security objectives by enabling informed, data-driven decision-making for senior military leadership.

You will be part of Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-South), a subordinate command under U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), focused on countering transnational organized crime and illicit trafficking in the Western Hemisphere. This position supports the JIATF-South J-8 (Resources and Assessments Directorate) and works daily alongside government leadership, operational staff, and technical teams to improve how requirements are identified, prioritized, governed, and resourced.

The Requirements Analyst serves as a key functional liaison between command leadership, Requirements Working Group (RWG) members, and Serco's software development team, supporting the operation and evolution of the Requirements Determination and Prioritization Tool (RDPT). This role blends senior-level requirements analysis, business systems analysis, and executive-level facilitation in a complex joint, interagency, and military environment.

In this role, you will:
  • Provide on-site requirements analyst support to JIATF-South J-8, assisting with the day-to-day execution of the command's requirements determination and prioritization process.
  • Lead end-to-end requirements activities, including intake, analysis, validation, prioritization, documentation, and governance support.
  • Facilitate Requirements Working Group (RWG) meetings and other governance forums to ensure alignment with mission objectives, funding availability, and leadership priorities.
  • Translate operational needs and senior leadership intent into clear use cases and actionable, traceable functional and technical requirements for RDPT enhancements.
  • Serve as a functional subject matter expert within RDPT, working hands-on in the application to update, maintain, cleanse, and validate requirements and resource data.
  • Support the software development lifecycle by coordinating requirements refinement, prioritization, testing, user acceptance, and validation of delivered functionality.
  • Assist with managing RDPT updates, enhancements, releases, and sustainment activities, including documenting corrective actions and issue resolution.
  • Develop and maintain recurring reports, dashboards, and visual analytics (monthly, weekly, and ad-hoc), supporting leadership decision-making and contract reporting requirements.
  • Analyze requirements, resource, and portfolio data to identify trends, gaps, efficiencies, and mission impacts, providing defensible insights to inform prioritization and funding decisions.
  • Work closely with J-8 Resource Management and Financial Management personnel to align requirements with budgets, spend plans, and fiscal constraints, including financial justification packages.
  • Develop and deliver RDPT training, process walkthroughs, and governance briefings for government stakeholders.
  • Maintain and update RDPT user guides, reference materials, and supporting documentation as system functionality and processes evolve.
  • Communicate development progress, tradeoffs, risks, and impacts to senior leadership in clear, non-technical terms.
  • Operate effectively and independently in a high-visibility, fast-paced operational environment while maintaining a professional demeanor and strong organizational discipline.

To be successful in this role, you will need:
  • Active DoD Secret security clearance.
  • A Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Engineering, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • 8 years of experience in requirements analysis, business systems analysis, or related roles, including senior level coordination and briefings.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting DoD or federal organizations, preferably within a joint or operational environment.
  • Proven ability to engage and brief senior military leadership (O 6 and above) and senior civilian personnel.
  • Strong facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and communication skills.
  • Experience translating complex operational, technical, and financial concepts into clear executive level documentation and decision support products.
  • Ability and willingness to work hands on within mission critical software applications.
  • Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools; experience with Power BI preferred.
  • Comfort operating independently while coordinating across interagency, technical, and functional teams.
  • The ability to travel up to 10%.


Additional desired experience and skills:
  • Top Secret with SCI eligibility preferred.
