Job Description
Location: On site at a federal government facility in Washington, DC.
Position: Full-time, reporting to Program leadership.
Access: U.S. citizenship required. Must hold an active Top Secret clearance, be able to obtain SCI access, and pass a federal suitability review.

Colvin Run Networks builds mission-driven intelligent systems for national security and other high-stakes government missions. We apply commercial innovation to operational missions, an approach we call reverse dual use. As mission timelines outpace the acquisition system, we work at startup velocity with enterprise credibility. We build solutions that a program office can stand behind, and that operators want to use.
This role supports a federal civilian agency modernization program that applies AI and modern data tools to 24/7 operations, readiness, and crisis response.
About the Job
This program needs requirements that engineers can build and test against. You lead that requirements and process work. You spend real time with the government staff who do the work, learn how it runs today, and turn what you learn into clear requirements.
You are also the person who checks that what was delivered is what was asked for, so your work continues through testing and acceptance, not just discovery.
What You'll Do
• Lead discovery: Facilitate workshops and interviews with government users to document how work happens today and what it needs to become.
• Write requirements: Turn needs into user stories with acceptance criteria, process maps, and functional specifications, and keep the backlog current in Jira, Azure DevOps, or the program's tool.
• Analyze program data: Review program and operational data, identify trends, and give program leadership findings they can act on.
• Test: Plan and run user acceptance testing and confirm that each delivered capability meets its requirement.
• Coordinate: Work with technical teams and government stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve issues, and record decisions.
• Document: Lead the preparation of reports, SOPs, and decision material.
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree.
• 5 or more years of relevant experience.
• Requirements gathering and documentation directly with business users.
• User stories with acceptance criteria, written in an Agile delivery environment.
• Working knowledge of a backlog tool such as Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps.
• Experience planning or running user acceptance testing.
• Strong facilitation and writing skills.
• Must be a U.S. citizen who holds an active Top Secret clearance, can obtain SCI access, and can pass a federal suitability review.
Desired Experience
• Use of ServiceNow, Microsoft Power Platform, or Power BI.
• CBAP, CCBA, PMI-PBA, or ITIL 4 Foundation certification.
• Business process modeling, for example BPMN.
• Support for federal civilian agencies.
How We Work (REACH)
We hire and review against REACH.
• Rigor: We think deeply and act decisively. Sound judgment, data, and critical thought separate signal from noise. We ask "what needs to be true?" and stay grounded in facts, not assumptions.
• Excellence: We deliver results that are fast, intuitive, and impactful. We focus on what the client truly needs and take pride in solutions people want to adopt. Quality is how we earn trust.
• Agility: "That's not my job" is not part of our vocabulary. We take ownership, adapt quickly, and find solutions rather than roadblocks, flexible under pressure, whatever the role.
• Commitment: We believe in the mission we serve and never stop improving. We are our own biggest critics because we care about the outcome. Our ethics are non-negotiable.
• Humility: Egos low, standards high. We listen, stay curious, and seek feedback. We speak with radical candor, assume good intent, and put the team's success over individual credit.
Veterans and military spouses are encouraged to apply.
Colvin Run Networks is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status.
