This includes coordination with process stakeholders to complete current-state assessments, review of relevant documentation to gain a thorough understanding, and evaluation and recommendation of technology platform(s) to build a future-state solution.
  • Assist in creation of project plans to support the execution of end-to-end development efforts and ensure that realistic timelines are set, communicated, and followed through barring any significant holdups.
  • Communicate project task updates to senior-level executive clients on a regular basis and confirm shared understanding.
  • Utilize best practices when developing and implementing solutions which includes documenting and communicating any identified risks to internal team and process stakeholders and coordinating solutions for addressing the identified risks.
  • Develop documentation and training material for technical solutions that are provided to process stakeholders as part of implementation and provide training and general guidance on an ad-hoc basis after the release of any technical solutions.
  • Coordinate with other direct team members and/or build necessary skills to develop metrics and supporting dashboards utilizing data visualization software (i.e., Tableau, Power BI, etc.).
  • Collaborate with Guidehouse personnel, supporting related workstreams, to recommend solutions, identify best practices, and improve knowledge-sharing across Government Agencies.
What You Will Need:
  • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain Public Trust clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree
  • Ability to commute to client or corporate offices within the Washington, DC metropolitan area 2-3 days per week.
  • Desire and ability to quickly learn low-code and no-code technology platforms, including Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, ServiceNow, Power BI, and Tableau, to apply and tailor to the specific needs of the client and the mission of their organization.
  • Heightened attention to detail when developing technical solutions and any other communications or deliverables that are distributed to clients.
  • Ability to synthesize information quickly and learn new skills, view problems, apply a variety of analytical solutions, and lead client-facing discussions and meetings.
  • Ability to work in teams to produce high-impact work products, reports, and other deliverables in a fast-paced environment.
  • Willingness to utilize project management best practices within an organization to produce high quality deliverables in a timely manner.
What Would Be Nice To Have:
  • Prior experience developing tools or solutions in low-code and no-code technology platforms, including Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, ServiceNow, Power BI, and Tableau.
  • Understanding and demonstrated willingness to learn Agile project delivery methods, tools, and concepts.
  • General understanding of financial management aspects (i.e., financial operations, financial innovation, internal control, risk management, etc.), particularly in a federal environment.
  • Experience with:
    • Planning and leading client meetings and presenting recommendations.
    • Producing a variety of communications from informal email interactions with clients to formal strategic planning documents, user guides, issue papers, presentations, executive briefings, and others.
    • Leading multiple tasks simultaneously.
    • Documenting and evaluating business processes and making recommendations for process improvements.
    • Conducting research to investigate client problems and working collaboratively with a team to formulate and recommend solutions.
