Business Intelligence Analyst (Active Secret Clearance Required) - Development InfoStructure

Join Our Team

Devis is seeking a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst to join a small Agile team supporting a U.S. Department of State program in Washington, DC. The team operates, maintains, and enhances an enterprise financial planning, project management, and monitoring application built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform and used by roughly 400 people. You would be the person who turns what those users need into requirements the developers can build, confirms it works before it ships, and keeps the team's sprints running.

About This Role

This is a contingent-upon-award Senior Business Intelligence Analyst role with Scrum Master duties. You will gather and document requirements from government stakeholders, write user stories, plan and run testing, lead user acceptance testing, and maintain the SOPs, user guides, and training materials that go with each release. You will also serve as the primary Scrum Master for the development team, running Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives and coordinating with the IT Project Manager on priorities and schedule. The application runs in the Department's Microsoft 365 cloud environment and links to a Power BI reporting module backed by a SQL database, so familiarity with that stack helps, but the core of the job is requirements, testing, and Agile facilitation.
