Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 4 years of relevant experience (or 4 additional years of relevant experience in lieu of the degree)
• Demonstrated business process engineering experience, including current-state assessment, future-state design, and process improvement/reengineering
• Experience developing process models/diagrams and maintaining process documentation in support of system modernization and sustainment
• Experience translating business processes and stakeholder needs into actionable requirements and solution design inputs for technical teams
• Experience producing architecture and design documentation that supports implementation, integration, and operational sustainment
