You Have

• Minimum three (3) years of experience in a comparable senior business analyst, systems implementation, Medicaid implementation, consulting, or operations transformation role. 
• Experience with SDLC coordination, release lifecycle management, requirements analysis, requirements development, testing/UAT planning, operational readiness, implementation planning, or business process alignment. 
• Strong facilitation, writing, analytical, communication, stakeholder coordination, and documentation skills.
