About The Position

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. The BA TL is responsible for guiding and developing BAs through coaching, mentoring, and technical and professional development. This role bridges the gap between business needs, technical teams, and reporting stakeholders, creating clarity from ambiguity and driving process excellence across the team. The BA TL must be comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, evolving environment where processes may not exist yet—and is expected to create structure, systems, and best practices that enable team scalability and reliability. The BA TL will be knowledgeable in the areas of EDA CORE, HICS, SEED, and MCR data processes, Power BI reports, and recurring reconciliation operations. 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. The BA TL supports BAs in real time, establishing structure where none exists, and leading continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen the ER&R applications ecosystem.
