About The Position

ICF is seeking a Business Analyst for our Centralized Operations, Analytics and Technology (COAT) group to support ICF's Sightline. In this role, you will work with product managers, technical architects, developers, and clients to define and organize business requirements for our quantitative data processing, reporting, and customer insights platform, which support products for both traditional utility energy efficiency programs and new clean energy programs. This involves interacting with internal stakeholders to help refine and maintain requirements and keeping product documentation current. This is a role for someone who likes to roll up their sleeves and really dive into the details. Successful candidates will be resourceful, self-motivated, and possess exceptional attention to detail. The work requires a true team player who is excited to work on several projects across multiple clients and is very comfortable with ETL and data import related tasks. Candidates should be comfortable working on a software product development team following a scrum development methodology. Candidates should appreciate a collaborative environment but be highly independent and driven to follow-up on tasks without prompting. Our software solution is quantitative and analytical so a desire and experience to work on nuanced and complex subject material is a must.
