IT Requirements Manager & Technical Lead

Description

• Documentation & Verification: Oversee functional and non-functional requirements. Capture detailed descriptions of user needs, product functionality, and completion criteria.
• Quality Assurance of Requirements: Participate in peer reviews of requirements documentation to ensure clarity and testability before the work reaches the developers.
• Work Definition & Dispatching: Serve as the primary driver of the team's backlog. Decompose high-level information and complex business rules into granular, testable User Stories. You must break down the work so the development team has clear direction.
• Stakeholder & Team Liaison: Act as the critical translation layer between non-technical stakeholders/partners and the software development team. Reconcile conflicting inputs and ensure user stories are consistent across all products.
• Agile Leadership (SCRUM): Facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and backlog refinement sessions. Remove blockers for the development team and ensure the Agile process is moving smoothly.
• Deputy Project Management: Assist the Program Manager in overseeing the team's progress. Step in to manage stakeholder expectations and reporting when necessary.
• UX & Business Rule Analysis: Analyze the user experience and business logic. Focus heavily on how data moves through a complex supply chain and ensure the new system accommodates these flows better than the legacy process.
• Proactive Requirements Discovery ("Spelunking"): Actively investigate existing legacy systems to determine exactly the software needs. This involves reading code, querying data and talking with end users to extract business rules rather than relying solely on interviews.

Requirements

• Analytical Mindset: Ability to read code/logic to reverse-engineer business rules (you do not need to be a developer, but you must be technically fluent).
• Agile Experience: Experience acting as a Scrum Master or Product Owner in an Agile environment.
• Supply Chain Knowledge: Demonstrated ability to understand complex workflows and how things move through a logistics or supply chain system.
• SQL (Required): Proficiency in writing and reading SQL queries to analyze data relationships and track how data moves through the system.
• COBOL (Highly Preferred): Ability to read legacy COBOL code to identify embedded business rules is a significant plus.
• U.S. Citizenship is Mandatory
• Java (Highly Preferred): Ability to read and interpret Java code to understand current system logic and business rules.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Requirements Management, Business Analysis, or Systems Analysis.
