• 3+ years with direct experience in Medicare or Medicaid claims processing or CMS shared systems.

Additional Qualifications

• Certified in a product owner or product manager Agile credential (for example SAFe POPM, CSPO, or PSPO) and experience operating within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), including PI Planning.
• Experience translating complex federal regulations and CMS business requirements into user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
• Ability to analyze business processes, evaluate system and downstream impacts, identify gaps, and recommend improvements.
• Strong oral and written communication, with the ability to document complex problems simply and clearly.
• Experience developing Change Requests and working within change control processes.
• Experience interpreting CMS guidance and HPMS memoranda and translating complex Medicare regulations into operational requirements, policies, and procedures.
• Familiarity with CMS shared systems and Medicare claims processing environments, including mainframe-based systems, is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the product backlog with the Product Owner, the COR, and end users, capturing CMS requirements as user stories with robust acceptance criteria.
• Maintain and enhance the product roadmap and collaborate with CMS on prioritization and capacity planning.
• Work with the Agile team through backlog refinement, sprint planning, and PI Planning to align development and testing with CMS business needs and the release calendar.
• Become an expert in CMS regulations, policies, and the CWF system, and conduct policy and program analysis to develop and adapt business requirements.
• Evaluate system and downstream impacts of Change Requests, provide high-level business requirements, and support estimation.
• Work with the sprint team to implement and accept user stories, validate completed work against the definition of done, and support release readiness.
• Develop Change Requests and supporting Agile documentation and oversee related quality assurance activities.
• Proactively surface risks, dependencies, and competing priorities, coordinating with stakeholders to support quality and timely delivery.

Work Location: Headquartered in Arlington, VA, we also have a primary office in Baltimore, MD for those who prefer to work on-site.
