## Description

Apogee is seeking an experienced **Senior Operational Readiness & Requirements Lead** to support the development of a federal operational-readiness simulation and decision-support solution. This role will lead requirements discovery, operational workflow validation, scenario development, assumption management, and stakeholder coordination to ensure the simulation accurately reflects real-world mission processes and operational environments.

The successful candidate will serve as the critical connection between federal operational stakeholders, subject-matter experts, and technical simulation-development teams. The individual will translate complex operational requirements into actionable models by capturing processes, constraints, staffing considerations, decision points, exceptions, and mission scenarios.

### Key Responsibilities

-   Lead requirements discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews, and operational analysis workshops.
-   Elicit, document, analyze, prioritize, and validate functional and operational requirements.
-   Develop process maps, operational workflows, use cases, decision logic, and requirements traceability documentation.
-   Identify operational entities, events, resources, dependencies, constraints, routing logic, exceptions, rework processes, and decision points.
-   Document assumptions, data limitations, policy considerations, risks, and unresolved decisions.
-   Develop and maintain operational scenarios, including:

-   Baseline operating conditions
-   Surge scenarios
-   Degraded operations
-   Disruption events
-   Policy and stress-test scenarios

-   Coordinate subject-matter-expert reviews to validate workflows, assumptions, parameters, and simulation outcomes.
-   Establish operational validation criteria and acceptance measures.
-   Support verification and validation (V&V) activities for simulation models and analytical outputs.
-   Analyze simulation results to ensure operational accuracy, relevance, and mission alignment.
-   Support demonstrations, user acceptance activities, scenario rehearsals, and after-action reviews.
-   Maintain requirements documentation, assumptions logs, decision records, validation findings, and corrective-action tracking.
-   Contribute to user guides, training materials, scenario catalogs, and knowledge-transfer documentation

## Requirements

### Must-have Qualifications:

-   Bachelor’s degree in Operations Research, Systems Engineering, Business Analysis, Public Administration, Emergency Management, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline.
-   Minimum 7 years of experience in requirements analysis, business process analysis, operational planning, systems analysis, verification and validation, or scenario development.
-   Demonstrated experience facilitating stakeholder interviews, workshops, and requirements-gathering sessions.
-   Experience documenting complex operational workflows, business rules, decision processes, constraints, and exceptions.
-   Experience validating analytical models, simulations, technology solutions, or operational processes.
-   Strong analytical, technical writing, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills.
-   Ability to obtain and maintain client-required suitability requirements, including Public Trust eligibility if required.

### Preferred Qualifications:

-   CBAP, PMI-PBA, INCOSE, Lean Six Sigma, Agile, or comparable professional certification.
-   Experience supporting federal readiness, mobilization, workforce operations, emergency management, continuity, or mission-support programs.
-   Experience with discrete-event simulation, operations research, scenario modeling, or analytical model validation.
-   Experience designing tabletop exercises, operational stress tests, demonstrations, or after-action reviews.
-   Familiarity with requirements traceability matrices (RTM), formal verification and validation methodologies, and systems engineering practices.
-   Experience supporting government stakeholders in complex, mission-critical environments.
-   **Security Requirement:** Ability to obtain and maintain client-required suitability clearance or Public Trust determination.
-   **Location Requirement:** Candidates must be able to support periodic onsite workshops and meetings in Virginia.
