About The Position

Loch Harbour Group is seeking experienced Momentum professionals for an upcoming Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) opportunity supporting a major federal financial management modernization program. This program involves migrating a large federal department from a legacy financial system to CGI's Momentum Enterprise Suite via a commercial SaaS model. The IV&V contractor will provide objective assurance across implementation waves, operations and maintenance releases, and interface integrations. This role is focused on genuine IV&V, providing the Government with decision-quality evidence regarding system readiness, requirements coverage, interface health, and risk posture, rather than system integration or development.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of hands-on functional or technical experience with CGI's Momentum Financial Management application in federal environments.
Direct experience on at least one large, complex federal Momentum implementation (agencies such as Department of Commerce, USDA, Department of Labor, Department of the Interior, EPA, SEC, DOJ, or DoD components).
Working knowledge of Momentum core financials, general ledger, funds control, budget execution, accounts payable and receivable, and acquisition integration.
Ability to read and interpret a chart of accounts configuration and trace a transaction through Momentum workflow.
Experience with database query development using TOAD, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, or Oracle SQL Developer.
Experience with JIRA and Xray or comparable test and defect management tools.
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a VA Public Trust background investigation.

Nice To Haves

Prior IV&V, independent testing, or quality assurance experience on a federal financial management program.
Experience with automated test framework development and execution.
Familiarity with IEEE 1012 verification and validation standards.
SAFe certification (SAFe Practitioner, SSM, SASM, or higher).
Federal accounting knowledge including USSGL, Treasury reporting, and appropriations law fundamentals.
Experience working in Agile Scrum or Scaled Agile Framework delivery environments.
Prior work on programs involving financial system interfaces with procurement, logistics, human capital, or healthcare systems.
Former CGI Federal Momentum consultants, functional analysts, or technical leads who have transitioned to other federal consulting roles.
Former federal employees from agencies with Momentum deployments who supported financial system operations or modernization.
IV&V professionals with financial system or ERP assessment backgrounds looking to apply their methods in a federal Momentum context.

Responsibilities

Perform independent verification and validation of Momentum business processes, configurations, interfaces, and reporting across implementation waves and operations and maintenance releases.
Develop and execute manual and automated Momentum test scripts anchored to approved requirements, business processes, and interface control documents.
Build database queries using TOAD, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, or Oracle SQL Developer to support verification points that cannot be observed through the user interface.
Maintain requirements traceability matrices connecting Momentum test scripts to approved requirements, business processes, designs, and configurations.
Identify, document, and track defects through JIRA and Xray toolchains, reconciling findings weekly against the program's defect management systems.
Support Test Readiness Reviews, Implementation Readiness Reviews, and product reviews of program deliverables including Interface Control Documents, Concept of Operations documents, Release Plans, and Technical Impact Assessments.
Recognize the difference between a Momentum configuration issue and a defect in delivered code, and communicate that distinction clearly to both technical and financial stakeholders.
Contribute to interface regression testing across connected systems, with particular attention to integration points with other enterprise modernization efforts.
Produce findings and recommendations that give Government leadership defensible evidence for wave go-live and release acceptance decisions.
