About The Position

The Requirements/Traceability Lead is a full-time position responsible for the integrity of the project’s compliance baseline throughout the implementation and operation of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Case Management System. This role ensures that every technical design, configuration item, work item, and test case traces directly back to the contractual and technical requirements identified in the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). Initial review, evaluation and validation of the existing RTM will be part of the initial tasks needed.

Requirements

7+ years of experience
Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, or a related field.
Proven experience managing complex RTMs for large-scale ERP or CRM implementations, preferably within a federal or high-compliance context.
Familiarity with Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Azure Integration Services to effectively map requirements to "configuration-first" solutions.
Understanding of traceability requirements for sensitive data environments, including NIST SP 800-53 security controls and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) standards.
Ability to maintain meticulous records and verify "objective evidence" for a high volume of work products (61+ distinct artifacts) under an aggressive 120-day timeline.

Responsibilities

Own and maintain the master RTM, managing all traced items including data elements, metrics, security, API connections, and contractual obligations.
Develop Quality and Risk Management Plans: assist in the establishment and compliance with the contract policies, procedures, and standards.
Maintain current links that connect high-level requirements to specific technical designs, backlog items, configuration/code, and test cases.
Ensure that no requirement is marked as "Closed" without objective evidence of completion that passes identified exit criteria. Root cause analysis when deficiencies are identified.
Provide the essential "Completeness Check" for each phases exit gate, ensuring that all work products delivered align with the compliance baseline.
Work closely with the Project Manager to log any missing specifications or requirement conflicts in the RAID (Risk, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies) structure, identifying the impact on specific work packages.
Collaborate with the team to ensure that "requirements-first" design principles are followed across all workstreams.
