- Quality Assurance and UAT: Guide and participate in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and document non-functional requirements (security, privacy, performance, retention) to ensure solutions meet both internal quality standards and external partner specs.
- Core BA Expertise: Mastery of business analysis principles, methodologies, and best practices across the full project lifecycle.
- Technical Integration and Data Flow: Proven experience documenting complex technical APIs, system integrations, data flows, and secure data archival/migration protocols.
- Cross-Functional Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a proven track record of bridging the gap between technical teams, business leaders, and external government/institutional stakeholders.
- Agile and Tooling Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Agile development methodologies and requirements management platforms (e.g., Jira and Confluence).
- Adaptability and High Ownership: High drive and accountability to manage dual priorities, adapt quickly as external specs evolve, and independently drive deliverables to completion in a fast-paced environment.

- Stakeholder Management and High-Scrutiny Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex regulatory, technical, and risk concepts to cross-functional internal teams and external strategic partners (e.g., EDC, BDC).
