About the Role
Redhorse transforms the way government uses data and technology. To support this mission, we are seeking a Senior Business Systems Analyst to support the FBI National Security Branch (NSB). This is a high-impact role where you will serve as a critical bridge between technical developers and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring that the systems used for National Security Letters (NSLs), the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and other legal processes are modern, secure, and mission-aligned. Your expertise will directly influence the development of the FBI’s enterprise systems, helping to protect national security through improved data management and IT governance.

Advise the Government on emerging vulnerabilities and corrective measures for NSB equities, emerging technologies, and FBI enterprise systems.
Serve as the primary interface for collecting, tracking, and managing operational user requirements from Department of Justice, FBI headquarters, and field office stakeholders.
Analyze technical and functional systems documentation to identify key points and potential problems.
Collaborate with software developers and the DevOps team to define and document requirements as epics, features, and user stories.
Draft national security business and functional documentation (user stories, acceptance criteria, use cases, concepts of operation, cost-benefit analyses, privacy impact assessments, operating models, workflow diagrams, and standard operating procedures) for the FBI’s FISA system, legal process applications, Sentinel requirements, and intelligence collection applications.
Lead support for NSB’s planning and implementation of IT projects, ensuring on-time task completion.
Assist in strategic planning for NSB IT programs.
Prepare reports, briefing materials, talking points, Power BI reports, and other documents for management, often on short notice.
Provide updates to FBI executive management on current IT projects and initiatives.
Analyze and resolve business and management issues, providing recommendations and subject matter expertise.
Provide technical support and troubleshooting assistance regarding NSB’s Technical Bridge applications (FISA, NSLs, NDRRs, etc.) and other proprietary applications.
Represent NSB at meetings, documenting proceedings and follow-up actions.
Required Experience/Clearance
