Overview

We have an exciting opportunity for someone with strong skills in the areas of Agile Product Ownership, Business Analysis, and as Scrum Master to play a key role in supporting initiatives and services that improve health outcomes for Vermonters.

As a member of the Agency of Digital Services (ADS) team assigned to the Vermont Department of Health (VDH), you will work hand in hand with public health professionals and other ADS staff to develop or procure and maintain systems critical to the work of protecting and improving the health of Vermonters.

This includes a diverse range of in house and vendor supported systems that address business needs ranging from

  • Managing VT's public health laboratory
  • Maintaining central registries of immunizations and vital records
  • Licensing Medical Providers and other professionals
  • A number of systems designed to support analysis
  • Planning and reporting related to initiatives targeting specific issues that impact the health of Vermonters

You will serve as the primary liaison to multiple program areas within VDH regarding their IT system needs. For each, you will develop and maintain expert level knowledge of the business and the specific IT systems that support it. You will apply this knowledge to planning and managing projects, on-going maintenance of systems, product lifecycle decisions and planning solutions to support the program area in the future.

A key responsibility of this position is to establish the vision for the products that support the area of business for which you are responsible and assure this is reflected on all levels of planning.

This includes:

  • Eliciting and confirming requirements for a product through both direct engagement and analysis
  • Engaging with the development team to assure create and document design strategies
  • Producing and updating deliverables that reflect and communicate this vision such as Context, Workflow and Entity Relationship diagrams, Product Roadmaps, as well as, Product, Release and Sprint backlogs.

You will regularly lead development teams in the role of both Product Owner and Scrum Master, managing the backlog for both new products or features and ongoing maintenance and operations support. This includes assuring that regular security checks, version updates, user audits and other key maintenance tasks are included in the backlog and acted upon. It also includes facilitating Release, Sprint, and Daily planning, product reviews and team retrospectives. When vendor provided solutions are the most appropriate strategy to address program needs you will facilitate the development of RFPs and contracts to procure these systems including eliciting functional requirements and assuring input from other specialties within ADS.

Throughout the life of a system, you will be responsible for producing and maintaining feature level documentation such as data element specifications, use cases, report specifications and business rules. You will also be responsible for assuring quality assurance testing based upon this documentation occurs both during initial development and for any future enhancements.

This position is in Waterbury, VT. While regular (weekly) on site work should be expected, a mixed telework/onsite schedule may be available upon approval by supervisor.
