The listing
Overview
PhoenixTeam is hiring two Senior Business Systems Analysts for a Department of the Interior modernization program. One role will focus primarily on workforce, policy, and service-delivery processes; the other will focus primarily on data, integration, intake, and financial-integrity workflows.
Both positions are hands-on analyst roles with pod-level leadership. They work directly with stakeholders to understand current operations, define future-state requirements, and stay embedded with technical teams through design, prototyping, testing, and user acceptance. Candidates do not need experience in both domain tracks.
Key Functions
- Lead requirements and analysis for assigned modernization initiatives, including stakeholder discovery, process review, business rules, user needs, data requirements, and acceptance criteria.
- Use Python and SQL to investigate operational data and data-quality issues, validate business rules, and support requirements definition and user acceptance testing.
- Translate current-state workflows into clear future-state requirements for software, low-code, automation, data, or AI-enabled solutions.
- Develop user stories, acceptance criteria, test scenarios, and traceable requirements; coordinate user acceptance testing and drive issues to resolution with stakeholders and delivery teams.
- Analyze data flows, system handoffs, controls, and integration needs so business requirements are specific enough for solution designers and engineers to act on.
- Maintain accurate decision logs, requirements, trackers, and client-ready documentation throughout discovery and iterative delivery.
- Work directly with federal sponsors and cross-functional delivery teams, lead discussions when needed, and operate effectively when requirements are incomplete or changing.
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant business analysis, business transformation, systems analysis, or consulting experience; bachelor's degree preferred.
- Hands-on experience using Python for data preparation and analysis, and SQL to query, join, and validate data in support of requirements definition and testing.
- Hands-on experience leading requirements for software, automation, data, or digital-modernization work, including user stories and acceptance criteria.
- Experience analyzing business processes and data flows and coordinating user acceptance testing with business stakeholders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the judgment to work directly with senior stakeholders and technical teams.
- Must be able to successfully complete the background investigation, suitability, credentialing, and system-access requirements applicable to a Moderate Risk Public Trust position.
Preferred Qualifications or Skills
- Experience supporting federal programs or working in federal consulting or professional services.
- For the workforce track: experience with HR, training, policy, service-delivery, payroll, or workforce systems and processes.
- For the data track: experience with intake, payments/disbursements, financial workflows, APIs, data governance, or system integration.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Power Platform, SharePoint/Microsoft 365, or similar low-code and collaboration environments.
- Hands-on use of generative AI or LLM tools for analysis, requirements, workflow redesign, research, or prototyping.
Position Details
- Employment type: Full-Time, W2.
- Location: Primarily remote within the U.S.; occasional travel to Department of the Interior locations may be required based on project needs.
- Hours: 40 hours/week, Monday-Friday, with required availability during DOI core hours of 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET.
- Target start: As soon as possible, subject to required government onboarding.
- Program: Department of the Interior (DOI) modernization program.
- Openings: 1.
- Contract labor category: Business Analyst III.
- Eligibility: Must be able to successfully complete the background investigation, suitability, credentialing, and system-access requirements applicable to a Moderate Risk Public Trust position.
