Key Responsibilities

• Define clear, testable Acceptance Criteria (ACs) and maintain traceability from BRD → FD → AC → Azure DevOps (ADO) backlog items.
• Identify ambiguities, scope conflicts, and requirements gaps before they reach development, escalating issues for resolution when needed.
• Perform functional, regression, and UAT support testing; document test results, defects, and retest outcomes clearly for engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Break approved specifications into appropriately sized ADO epics, features, user stories, and tasks for individual developer assignment.
• Coordinate with the Project Manager and development leads to sequence backlog work according to sprint capacity across active projects.
• Maintain consistent documentation, terminology, version control, changelogs, tagging, naming, and backlog hierarchy as requirements evolve.

• Strong hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, including backlog structuring, work item hierarchy, and sprint planning artifacts.
• Demonstrated experience authoring Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) and Functional Design (FD) documents; writing samples may be requested during screening.
• Hands-on systems and functional testing experience, including test case design, execution, defect documentation, and retesting.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to produce high-quality client- and developer-facing documentation.
• Ability to work Central Time (CST) business hours and manage requirements and backlog activities across multiple concurrent projects without cross-contaminating scope.
• Experience using AI-assisted workflows to draft, structure, or review documentation, with a willingness to continue building AI fluency.

• Familiarity with document-management or workflow-orchestration products.
