Business Analyst (Contract)

IN SHORT

MSQ DX is looking for a Business Analyst to provide additional delivery and requirements capacity for a forecasting product line in the healthcare space. This role supports the existing Product Manager while helping define how the forecasting platform becomes part of a broader strategy intelligence experience and future AI-enabled decision workflows.

This is a hybrid role: heavier on the business analysis (requirements, documentation, methodology translation) while also carrying core project management responsibilities (backlog health, sequencing, cross-team coordination). The right person is comfortable translating ambiguous methodology and data questions into clear, well-formed product requirements, and keeping delivery moving without becoming a bottleneck for engineering.

Note: This is a contract position.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

- Epics, features, stories, and backlog sequencing.

- Regular forecast release and enhancement work.

- Documentation and planning for a new forecast engine and methodology translation.

- Scenario modeling and future-state assumptions, documented clearly for stakeholders.

- Integration points between forecasting product, claims data, clearinghouse data, market data, and decision-support workflows.

- Requirements for Forecast’s AI chat/assistant capabilities.

- Support for experience design across Forecast entry points, workflows, and analytics surfaces.

- Alignment between Forecast data readiness and the broader platform delivery roadmap.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Establish and maintain a clear, healthy backlog and near-term roadmap.

- Coordinate product decisions across product subject-matter experts, Data Science, Engineering, and UX teams.

- Translate methodology changes into customer-facing requirements and acceptance criteria.

- Define how the product relates to and integrates with other platform capabilities.

- Clarify how outputs support broader decision-making workflows (e.g., identify → decide → act).

- Make assumptions, limitations, and reconciliation requirements explicit and visible to stakeholders.

- Help define ownership and scope for the product experience where it's currently unclear.

- Prepare product project work to support AI-enabled discovery, requirements, and validation.

- Maintain documentation that can support trusted data queries and future semantic/AI modeling needs.

WHAT YOU BRING

- Strong business analysis fundamentals: requirements gathering, documentation, and translating ambiguity into clear specs.

- Solid project/product management fundamentals: backlog management, sequencing, cross-team coordination.

- Comfort communicating data assumptions and methodology to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Experience working across capability areas (i.e., not siloed to one team or workflow).

- Familiarity with AI-ready documentation and trusted analytics concepts.

- Strong written communication skills.

- Experience with Azure DevOps (ADO) or similar backlog/work-tracking tools.

NICE TO HAVE

- Healthcare utilization and demand forecasting experience

- Scenario modeling experience

- Background in strategic planning or service-line growth decision support

- Experience with Sigma and/or Databricks

- Prior experience embedded within a client organization as a contract PM/BA

What is a BA at MSQ DX ?

The BA role and expectations tend to vary from company to company. At MSQ DX , BA’s often find themselves in a leadership role on their projects – they own the act of requirements gathering, documentation and the transformation of those requirements into user stories and tasks – thus knowing every aspect of a project in more detail than most other members of the team. Because of this, they must seamlessly be able to work with clients/product owners, solutions architects, developers, designers, and quality assurance personnel. An MSQ DX BA must be highly organized, self-guided and have a sense of pride and ownership in the work
