Description of the Job:

The purpose of this position is to elicit, analyze, model, document and verify business requirements, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, operational requirements, transitional requirements, data and reporting requirements, business rules and processes. This position creates systematic and consistent requirements in both technical and user-friendly language. This position develops and utilizes standard templates to accurately and concisely write requirements specifications.

This position represents and supports requirements and maintains integrity in scope throughout the design, development, implementation, and transition phases of software solutions, systems, or products, and ensures that requirements are satisfied and remain in scope. This position maintains and reconciles forward and backward traceability of requirements. This position develops domain knowledge of organizational direction, objectives, operations, processes, systems/applications and users.

This position develops relationships and collaborates with other units within the Division of Labor Standards and Statistics (DLSS), other Departments within the state including Office of Information and Technology, federal partners (BLS, Census, USDOL),external vendors and stakeholders to help define project scope and vision, identify constraints, dependencies, assumptions, risks and issues.

This position is responsible for holding the scope of the project to the requirements identified. This position designs solutions, or translates conceptual business and user requirements into functional requirements in a clear manner that is comprehensible to solution designers, developers, and the development team, which is internal to LMI and in collaboration with BLS and OIT. This position works with peers, stakeholders and development team to prioritize requirements and gain approval on defined requirements and artifacts, assisting with issue resolution.

This position creates process models, specifications, diagrams, and charts to provide direction to solution designers and developers and/or the development team.

This position participates in the review of purchased solutions to ensure features and functions have been enabled and optimized and analyzes them to verify objectives were satisfied.

In addition, this position is the primary support resource for Salesforce applications for LMI,
which previously lacked such capacity. The Division currently has existing programs in

LMI’s federal funding and accompanying requirements. This position is responsible for matters such as configuration of the user interface, managing user profiles and record access, adding new fields or changing existing custom fields, modifying page layouts, transferring data and updating records, configuring workflow rules, Lightning Flows, In-App-Guidance, a well-functioning Lightning Community, processes, creating and maintaining email alerts, approval processes, dashboards and reports.
