Contract Requirements Analyst (Remote)
United States

Suitability/Public Trust

Fully remote

Information Technology

**Overview**

GovCIO is currently hiring for a Requirements Analyst who will support the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in defining, structuring, and translating complex technical and business needs into clear, outcome-based requirements suitable for acquisition action. This role sits at the intersection of business analysis, software development, and federal contracting, requiring the ability to engage deeply with program stakeholders, understand how systems and workflows operate, and produce documentation that is both technically precise and acquisition ready.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on software development or systems engineering experience, ideally within a healthcare IT environment, and understands how requirements drive not just development, but procurement. This analyst does not simply document what stakeholders say; they critically assess, structure, and shape requirements to ensure they are feasible, traceable, outcome-oriented, and positioned to support effective contract actions. They are equally comfortable in a technical architecture discussion as they are helping a Contracting Officer shape a task order. This position will be a fully remote within the United States with core hours of operation from Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5PM ET, with potential (0-15%) travel required.

**Responsibilities**

+ Elicit requirements through document analysis, stakeholder meetings, structured interviews, and collaborative working sessions, drawing out both stated and unstated needs across business, technical, and operational domains.

+ Analyze and document business processes, workflows, and system interactions to establish a clear baseline understanding of current and future state conditions that drive requirements.

+ Conduct validation and traceability reviews with stakeholders to confirm that documented requirements accurately reflect business intent and can be tracked through design, development, and delivery.

+ Develop detailed technical documentation including requirements specifications, functional design documents, use cases, user stories, and acceptance criteria suitable for both development teams and acquisition professionals.

+ Collaborate with product managers, developers, architects, and SMEs to assess the feasibility of requirements and ensure alignment with technical constraints, architecture standards, and mission objectives.

+ Conduct structured bundling analyses, looking at the full portfolio of upcoming requirements to determine whether work should be consolidated into a single contract action or issued separately, based on factors such as technical alignment, mission outcome, urgency, and lifecycle phase.

+ Translate stakeholder needs into outcome-based, acquisition-ready requirements for contracts and/or task orders, ensuring requirements describe _what_ must be achieved rather than prescribing _how_ it must be built.

+ Assist Government leads in shaping acquisition package documentation, including Performance Work Statements (PWSs), Statements of Objectives (SOOs), and supporting artifacts that position the Government for outcome-based contract actions.

**Qualifications**

**Required Skills and Experience**

+ Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Systems, Business or related scientific /technical discipline and 15 years of related experience

+ 10 years of additional relevant experience may be substituted for education.

+ Minimum4-6 yearsof hands-on experience in software development, systems engineering, or technical product/program management.

+ Practical, practitioner-level experience with the full software development lifecycle (SDLC): requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and operations.

+ Ability to read, interpret, and critically evaluate technical artifacts including architecture diagrams, API documentation, data flow diagrams, and system interface specifications.

+ Experience translating technical requirements into acquisition-ready documentation (PWSs, SOOs, CDRLs, QASPs, or equivalent).

+ Familiarity with modern development tooling: version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government), and automated testing frameworks.

**Clearance Required:** Ability to obtain and maintain a Suitability/Public Trust clearance

**Preferred Skills and Experience**

+ Minimum 3-5 years of experience in a formal business analysis, systems analysis, or requirements engineering role.

+ Demonstrated experience eliciting, documenting, and managing requirements across complex, multi-stakeholder programs.

+ Proficiency with requirements management tools and methodologies (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, IBM DOORS, use case modeling, user story mapping).

+ Experience developing traceability matrices and conducting structured requirements validation sessions with both technical and non-technical audiences.

+ Experience supporting software development or systems analysis in a federal health IT environment, such as VA, DoD, HHS, CMS, or a large integrated health system.

+ Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards including HL7 FHIR, HL7 v2, and DICOM.

+ Understanding of healthcare-specific compliance requirements: HIPAA, Section 508, FedRAMP, and federal ATO processes.

+ Exposure to major EHR platforms (Oracle Health/Cerner, Epic, VistA) or VA/DoD health IT modernization programs is a significant plus.

**Acquisition Experience** **_(Supporting Requirement)_**

+ Minimum 2-3 years of experience working in or directly supporting federal government contracting or acquisition.

+ Demonstrated ability to read and analyze Performance Work Statements (PWSs), Statements of Work (SOWs), or Statements of Objectives (SOOs).

+ Working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and outcome-based contracting principles.

**Preferred Certifications**

+ PMP or PgMP (PMI), program or portfolio-level management credential.

+ PMI-SP (PMI), scheduling professional certification demonstrating IMS expertise.

+ FAC-COR Level II/III (FAI), federal contract oversight and performance monitoring.

+ DAWIA Program Management Level II/III (DAU), DoD/federal acquisition program management.
