About the Organization
Now is a great time to join Redhorse Corporation. We are a solution-driven company delivering data insights and technology solutions to customers with missions critical to U.S. national interests. We’re looking for thoughtful, skilled professionals who thrive as trusted partners building technology-agnostic solutions and want to apply their talents supporting customers with difficult and important mission sets.
About the Role
Redhorse transforms the way government uses data and technology. To support this vital mission, we are seeking a Senior Business Analyst to provide senior-level IT systems and strategic advisory support to the FBI National Security Branch (NSB).
In this role, you will be a principal technical bridge connecting operational field investigators, legal counsel, and software engineering teams. You will drive enterprise modernization across foundational national security systems—including FISA platforms, National Security Letter (NSL) applications, the National Data Review Repository (NDRR), and Sentinel. Working closely with DevOps and development teams, you will decompose complex operational needs into actionable Epics, Features, and User Stories while advising executive leadership on cloud adoption, system risks, emerging vulnerabilities, and IT governance.
Key Responsibilities
Lead business analysis and requirements engineering for FBI national security system development, covering FISA, NSL, and NDRR project management, user requirements elicitation, system architecture design, data conversion, technical documentation, training, and deployment.
Regularly evaluate complex enterprise systems and monitor active software development efforts to assess technical risks, ensure alignment with cloud and modern technology trends, and identify opportunities for consolidation, cost savings, and system retirement.
Advise government leadership on emerging vulnerabilities, corrective action plans, and mitigation strategies across NSB equities, enterprise networks, databases, and emerging technology stacks.
Meet directly with Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI Headquarters, and field office stakeholders to serve as the primary interface for collecting, tracking, and prioritizing operational user requirements.
Analyze technical specifications and functional system architectures to uncover operational risks, technical debt, and system integration bottlenecks.
Partner closely with software developers and DevOps teams to provide operational mission context, translating business needs into well-defined Epics, Features, and Agile user stories with detailed acceptance criteria.
Author national security business and technical documentation for FISA platforms, legal process applications, Sentinel enhancements, and intelligence collection systems—including use cases, CONOPS, cost-benefit analyses, privacy impact assessments, operating models, workflow diagrams, and SOPs.
Lead and oversee project planning and schedule execution for NSB IT initiatives to ensure timely delivery of mission-critical software capabilities.
Support enterprise strategic planning and business process re-engineering across NSB IT programs.
Formulate and deliver executive-ready position papers, briefing books, talking points, and interactive Power BI dashboards, frequently under tight turnarounds.
Deliver polished oral briefings and presentations to FBI executive management regarding ongoing IT initiatives, milestones, and strategic options.
Provide expert guidance, technical troubleshooting, and operational problem resolution for NSB Technical Bridge applications (FISA, NSLs, NDRRs) and proprietary tools via in-person and remote channels.
Represent NSB equities at multi-division and interagency meetings, documenting formal proceedings and driving follow-up action items to completion.
