Job Responsibilities: 

• Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent data analytics and BI workstreams. 

• Lead project kickoff activities; establish objectives, scope, stakeholders, requirements, delivery approach, milestones, dependencies, and success criteria. 

• Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned workstreams, building strong relationships with federal stakeholders and delivery teams. 

• Perform business-analysis activities, including stakeholder interviews, requirements elicitation, process analysis, user-story development, acceptance-criteria definition, and documentation of business needs. 

• Translate stakeholder needs into actionable project plans, backlogs, and roadmaps. 

• Develop and maintain project schedules, meeting minutes, risk and issue registers, and other project artifacts. 

• Identify, manage, and escalate project risks, issues, dependencies, scope changes, and resourcing constraints. 

• Lead and support Agile delivery ceremonies, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and release-planning activities. 

• Partner with stakeholders and technical teams to maintain and prioritize backlogs in Jira. 

• Use Confluence and other collaboration tools to create and maintain project documentation, requirements, decisions, process flows, and stakeholder-ready materials. 

• Support change control activities (creating and submitting CRs).  

• Support project governance activities (preparing and coordinating Privacy Threshold Agreements). 

• Prepare clear, concise, and audience-appropriate project communications.
