IV&V Analyst – Benefits, HRIS

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Virginia.

• Establish and uphold IV&V strategy, test plans, and test scenarios that encompass data ingestion, transformations, reconciliations, controls, and performance — aligned with project artifacts (requirements, risk register, test plans).

• Create and implement structured test cases and data-validation checks for PoC and incremental deliverables, independently evaluating data accuracy, integration quality, and compliance with HRIS and benefits requirements.

• Record defects, gaps, and issues in a clear and traceable manner, including impact analysis and remediation suggestions — maintaining independence from implementation vendors.

• Work in collaboration with Data Architects and Governance/Security leads to ensure that requirements and test cases address data quality, privacy, and compliance expectations for benefits and HRIS data.

• Hands-on experience in defining and executing IV&V or data validation test strategies for data ingestion and transformation workflows.

• Strong skills in requirements documentation, including use cases, data dictionaries, business rules, and traceability matrices.

• Capability to develop realistic test scenarios based on plan rules, participant data structures, and actual benefits operations.
