The selected candidate must be able to work across business, application, data, reporting, infrastructure, security, and project delivery teams to document current-state business and technical processes, translate business to technical needs, map business and technical dependencies, identify gaps, and work with stakeholders to define future-state business and technical requirements that support continuity of Medicaid operations.

Elicit, document, validate, and manage requirements; facilitate collaboration to synthesize information and ensure full coverage.
