Business analyst team lead

The Business Analyst (BA) Team Lead (TL) is part of a fully remote team supporting reconciliation processing and analytics for the Health Insurance Exchanges. The role is a critical function by ensuring consistent, high-quality requirement refinement, documentation, validation, and user support across the ER&R program’s applications.

This role is highly collaborative, hands‑on, and responsive. The BA TL must be able to provide status updates, confidently present information to executive leadership and external partners, and collaborate extensively with application team leadership, ER&R workstream leadership, development teams, and external CMS stakeholders.

The BA TL provides expert oversight of dataset analysis, report validation cycles, access governance, and platform documentation.
