Title: SDLC Analyst – Transformation, Governance & Automation
Position Type: Right to Hire
Location: Newark, NJ, United States
Onsite Flexibility: 2 days a week onsite, the rest remote
Overview
We’re seeking a highly skilled SDLC Analyst to drive enterprise-wide transformation across the software delivery lifecycle. This role focuses on process standardization, governance alignment, and automation—bringing clarity, consistency, and scalability from intake through production release.
You’ll partner with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, governance, and platform tooling to design repeatable, auditable, and high-performing SDLC processes aligned with enterprise policies and modern delivery practices.
What You’ll Do
SDLC Transformation & Process Design
  • Evaluate current SDLC workflows across intake, planning, development, testing, and release
  • Design future-state processes that improve efficiency, predictability, and compliance
  • Define quality gates, approvals, and lifecycle controls
  • Support multiple delivery models: Agile, Hybrid, and Waterfall
Governance & Compliance Alignment
  • Translate governance, risk, and compliance requirements into practical SDLC workflows
  • Partner with Security, Audit, Architecture, and GRC teams
  • Identify process gaps and implement scalable remediation strategies
  • Embed governance directly into workflows, not as an afterthought
Process Standardization
  • Establish enterprise SDLC standards, artifacts, and workflows
  • Align with Release Management and EPMO frameworks
  • Define exception handling, escalation paths, and risk controls
  • Create clear, auditable documentation for enterprise adoption
Automation & Tool Enablement
  • Reduce manual effort through workflow automation and tooling integration
  • Translate requirements into automated solutions using Jira, ServiceNow, Planview, and CI/CD tools
  • Ensure traceability, reporting, and audit readiness
Stakeholder Collaboration
  • Lead workshops and alignment sessions across business and technical teams
  • Support change management, training, and adoption
  • Drive continuous improvement through feedback and performance metrics
What You Bring
  • 5+ years experience in SDLC, process improvement, or governance-focused roles
  • Strong understanding of Agile, Scrum, SAFe, Hybrid, and Waterfall methodologies
  • Experience aligning delivery processes with governance, risk, and compliance frameworks
  • Hands-on experience with Jira, ServiceNow, Planview, or similar tools
  • Proven ability to design and document scalable processes and workflows
  • Strong communication, facilitation, and analytical skills
Nice to Have
  • Experience leading or supporting enterprise SDLC transformation initiatives
  • Background in DevOps, Release Management, or Platform Enablement
  • Experience implementing automated governance controls
  • Familiarity with audit or regulatory environments
What Success Looks Like
  • Standardized SDLC processes adopted across teams
  • Governance embedded seamlessly into delivery workflows
  • Reduced manual effort through automation
  • Improved delivery predictability, traceability, and audit readiness
