Business Analyst; C. Advanced

Business Analyst

The mission of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is to "promote public safety and strengthen domestic security by providing services in partnership with local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies to prevent, investigate, and solve crime while protecting Florida's citizens and visitors." In 1982, the Florida Legislature appropriated funds for the establishment of the first state Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse (MEPIC) in the nation.

The current system has added functionality over the years as required by legislation and to assist the FDLE members who use the system to issue alerts and streamline processes for faster communication about a missing person. The MEPIC system is being replaced with a database re-design and programming in newer technology with web screens that adhere to the current business needs rather than being constrained by the foundation of a 1983 system design.

Newer technology in a re‑designed MEPIC system can better assist in the recovery of missing persons.

FDLE requires the services of a Business Analyst with strong quality assurance experience to work under the direction of FDLE's assigned Project Manager to achieve the goals and objectives of the MEPIC Technology Upgrade Project as approved by a Legislative Budget Request (L ). The Business Analyst is expected to use their skills to facilitate, document, and coordinate with the project team to deliver an upgraded MEPIC system meeting the L  requirements within the project timeframe.

They will be responsible for understanding the MEPIC business processes and requirements captured. This highly professional position on the team will contribute to managing and ensuring quality software development results of the new MEPIC system, under the leadership of the assigned FDLE Project Manager. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and has a passion for both business analysis and testing.
