- 3+ years of experience as a Business Analyst supporting IT modernization, systems integration, or software delivery projects.

- Experience gathering and documenting business and technical requirements, including user stories, process flows, and acceptance criteria.
- Familiarity with API-based integration platforms (e.g., MuleSoft) and cloud/serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda).

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance / favorable suitability determination.
