Job Description
Position Description
The Alabama Medicaid Agency (AMA) is preparing for a major transition
from a monolithic system with 14 different business functions to a modern
system and platform. This multi-year "Modernization" project will include
working with multiple vendors and may include multiple project
methodologies. The project must comply with the Federal standards and
regulations such as: Medicaid Information Technology Architecture
(MITA), CMS Seven Conditions and Standards, Outcomes- Based
Certification (OBC), 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act), Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health act (HITECH act).
There are two vendors already in the program and there are three more
contracts being actively worked on. The first Vendor to join the project
was the Program Management Office (PMO) vendor who is responsible for
managing the project, defining the AMA enterprise architecture, defining
requirements, and leading the organizational change management effort.
The AMA is moving away from custom software development to procuring
software that is configured to meet the business needs. This will require
the Business Analyst to be very comfortable understanding the contract,
the business, and the requirements. To support this effort, the AMA is
seeking an experienced Business Analyst to be a member of the Medicaid
Enterprise Systems (MES) team. The Business Analyst will be working
collaboratively with a team of dynamic individuals working in a fast-paced
environment. The Business Analyst will be responsible for reviewing and
approving artifacts related to the program, project, or software. The
Business Analyst must also understand the contract and be able to verify
the contract requirements are met. The Business Analyst will be working
directly with the business areas to support them and ensure their
understanding of the vendor proposed solutions. This position will work
closely with the business areas, vendors, and Project Management Office
(PMO) vendor.
