INTRODUCTION

For over twenty-seven years RCR Technology Corporation has delivered the highest quality services to our clients with an expansive portfolio of industry-relevant services, and deep technical capabilities around data management and application development.

• Track open questions, dependencies, and risks for assigned work, and escalate issues to the SME and project lead when needed.

• Write SQL to profile and analyze Medicaid enrollment, eligibility, provider, claims, encounter, and financial data to answer business questions and confirm requirements.

• Identify and document data anomalies and report variances, and work with ETL, BI, and QA teams to resolve them.

• Share use cases with data and quality analysts for profiling, review results, and confirm alignment with project requirements and Medicaid/CMS guidelines.

• Support testing and UAT, including test scenarios, acceptance criteria, defect reporting, and follow-up.

• Prepare presentations, summaries, and status updates for the SME, internal leadership, and the customer.

• Maintain business documentation, data definitions, the Operations Guide, and related process documentation in SharePoint and Azure DevOps.

• Support end-user training and training materials related to reports and data.

• Mentor junior analysts and serve as backup to the Medicaid SME on day-to-day business questions and reporting processes.

• Peer review project artifacts and help manage intake and change requests, including impact analysis and BA effort estimates.

• Other duties consistent with the role, as assigned.
