  • Evaluate proposed solutions against business requirements and provide structured feedback to engineering teams
  • Support user acceptance testing by defining test scenarios, coordinating with stakeholders, and documenting results
  • Develop and maintain business process documentation, workflow diagrams, and operational runbooks for delivered solutions
  • Support change management activities including stakeholder communications, training materials, and adoption tracking
  • Serve as a subject matter liaison between business stakeholders and engineering during design, build, and testing phases
  • Produce clear, consumable analysis and reporting for the Director and stakeholders on requirements status, scope changes, and delivery readiness
  • Maintain a working understanding of the EA technology portfolio, including AI solutions, Power Platform automations, and integration platforms, sufficient to scope and evaluate new requests accurately
  • Identify and escalate scope creep, conflicting requirements, and dependency risks before they impact delivery
  • Contribute to the EA PnP by developing and refining requirements templates, intake forms, and discovery frameworks


Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience leading requirements definition and business analysis for technology projects, including current/future state process documentation and user story authorship
  • Strong facilitation skills with the ability to run structured discovery sessions, workshops, and working groups with business and technical participants
  • Proficiency producing process models, workflow diagrams, and data flow diagrams using standard notation (BPMN, swim lanes, or equivalent) using draw.io, Visio, or equivalent diagramming tools
  • Experience working in an Agile delivery environment, including authoring user stories, acceptance criteria, and contributing to backlog grooming
  • Ability to work across both business and technical domains; comfortable translating between stakeholder language and engineering requirements without losing fidelity
  • Strong written communication skills; able to produce requirements documents, process diagrams, and executive summaries that stand on their own
  • Experience supporting user acceptance testing, including test scenario definition and defect documentation
  • Familiarity with Microsoft 365 including Teams and SharePoint as collaboration surfaces
