[Hiring] Functional Business Analyst @Flexion Inc

Role Description

We’re looking for a Functional SME with an unwavering passion for working on meaningful, easy-to-use applications. Most of the work we do is on large-scale, enterprise-wide systems (both commercial and government)—this project in particular will help ensure the uninterrupted, secure, and compliant operation of critical federal acquisition and assistance systems.

You’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary, agile application development team tasked with operating and enhancing the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), serving as the team’s functional expert on how the system works and why.

• Serve as the functional subject matter expert for FPDS, helping the team and stakeholders understand system behavior, business rules, data flows, and how the system fits into the bigger picture of federal acquisition.
• Write and maintain functional requirements documents that capture business needs, rules, and acceptance criteria clearly enough for engineers and testers to act on.
• Support change management for the system: assess the functional impact of proposed changes, document them, and help coordinate communication, readiness, and rollout with stakeholders and users.
• Provide database support: investigate and troubleshoot data issues using SQL, validate data accuracy and integrity, and help trace discrepancies back to root causes.
• Analyze reported problems to identify root causes, patterns, and potential business impacts, and differentiate between defects, enhancement requests, training needs, and configuration issues.
• Coordinate with technical teams to ensure issues and changes are well understood, including reproduction steps and acceptance criteria.
• Communicate findings, status, and expected timelines to stakeholders and customers.
• Validate that delivered solutions address the business need before work is closed.
• Identify recurring issues and recommend process, product, or documentation improvements.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) or equivalent experience
• 6+ years of related work experience
• Deep functional knowledge of FPDS or comparable federal procurement or acquisition data systems
• Experience writing functional requirements documents and acceptance criteria
• Experience supporting change management on enterprise or government systems
• Working SQL skills and experience supporting databases: querying, validating, and troubleshooting data
• Understanding of the fundamentals of iterative development, incremental delivery, backlog management, and story definition
• Ability to analyze information and draw conclusions by comparing and contrasting information and weighing different possible solutions
• Ability to engage with all levels of the organization by listening, interacting, and communicating options in an efficient and impactful manner
• Ability to work effectively with others to accomplish objectives and goals; proven success in a team-oriented environment
