Archer Administrator / Engineer
TX - Irving
Opportunity Snapshot
If you have strong, hands-on development skills in Archer, this newly created role offers you the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a growing security team at a thriving healthcare industry leader. We have only just started to implement and deploy Archer, so you will be able to take a greenfield approach to being our subject matter expert, both executing solutions and helping shape overall processes. Quick question for you - click here
This is a high profile initiative and you'll play a key role in efforts to manage risk across our entire organization. You'll also join a talented and close-knit team that works hard but also values work / life balance.
Since 1985 HMS has focused exclusively on the healthcare industry; we have partnered with more than 45 Medicaid agencies, other state health programs, and more than 50 government-sponsored healthcare plans to help them recover billions of dollars, and save billions more through cost avoidance. If you are coming from outside healthcare, this is your opportunity to join not only a recession-resistant industry, but also a strong growth company: our stock doubled in value between 2008 and 2010, and our revenues have grown steadily (even during the recession), more than tripling from 2006 to 2010. This growth will continue to create opportunities for strong performers.
The Requirements
Basic qualifications:
- At least two years of hands-on deployment experience with Archer GRC, including administration and developing solutions.
- Solid understanding of Archer solutions, including:
- Archer application debugging. Quick question for you - click here
- Delegation of application and solution permissions.
- Familiarity with Archer community.
- Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
Strongly preferred:
- Formal training and certification in Archer GRC.
- Experience gathering requirements directly from users.
- Certifications such as CISSP, CISA, or CISM.
- A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, or related field.
Additional competencies and characteristics:
- Excellent analytical skills.
- The ability to coordinate multiple simultaneous projects.
- A degree of comfort in the absence of rigid structure.
The Role
Reporting to the Manager of Security Services, you will join an Information Security team that separated out of IT into a stand-alone business unit not long ago. You will be our sole Archer expert, although we anticipate bringing on additional Archer talent in the future.
While we have some of the groundwork laid for Archer, you will make contributions on a number of levels, including:
- Working with users to define specs and then developing solutions accordingly; we use a version of rapid application development (RAD). Quick question for you - click here
- Serving as the application / system administrator for Archer.
- Helping develop and document general Archer processes.
You'll start with core areas, including business continuity / business recovery, asset management, policy management and others, and then expand to other areas of HMS. At any given time you can expect to have multiple projects on your plate.
Your specific activities will include:
- Designing and integrating Archer's GRC solution framework into HMS business processes.
- Implementing and supporting application customization.
- Configuring Archer for content data feeds.
- Installing new software releases and system upgrades.
- Evaluating and installing patches and resolve software related problems.
- Maintaining data files and monitoring system configuration to ensure data integrity.
- Building application integration frameworks.
- Assisting with integration, implementation, and administration of systems.
Why HMS
Visible impact -- when we were evaluating solutions, Archer was presented to
all of our senior executives, so the tool is well known and this initiative is being watched closely. Your successes will be noticed.
Score some quick wins -- we've had Archer for a little over a year and we're at the point where you can implement some tangible results. For example, we'll look to you to release and support policy management tools (they're already mapped and integrated). We'd also like to implement risk management questionnaires for third party vendors; if you have the aptitude and experience, you could play a role in this effort.
Great culture -- within Security Services we've created a comfortable environment and a team that enjoys working with one another. We often go to lunch together, and you'll hear plenty of laughter in our area. In addition, we support our people's efforts to grow professionally (after all, helping you get better is how we get better), such as paying for re-certifications and other educational activities.
Stability and growth -- you'll join a stable and respected industry leader with more than 25 years of success and revenues over $302 million in 2010. Our 2010 revenues represented a 24% increase over those of 2009, and HMS was ranked 10th on Fortune's 2010 list of "100 Fastest-Growing Companies." This an environment in which strong performers can chart a fulfilling career.
Recession-resistant industry -- in general healthcare has remained robust in spite of the economy. The future looks promising as well: Medicaid and Medicare budgets are growing (the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services predicts current Medicare/Medicaid spending levels to double by 2015) and, with billions of dollars at stake, there is a strong emphasis among policy leaders (and the voting public) on cost containment and payment accuracy. HMS is taking advantage of this climate to expand.
Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and discretionary bonus potential, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes a 401(k) plan with generous employer match, flexible spending plans, and much more.
Keys to Success
This is not a role for a "paper tiger;" you will need genuine heads-down programming and administrative experience with Archer, as your focus will be on execution -- getting from user requirements to working solution. In addition, in order to be an outstanding Archer Engineer, you will:
- Bring a collaborative approach to working with users and other stakeholders, but also have the assertiveness to set realistic expectations.
- Derive satisfaction from working through the RAD process, figuring things out, learning from mistakes, and driving to results.
- Bring a down-to-earth attitude, and truly enjoy interacting and communicating with others as you collaborate to achieve goals.
- Look for ways to expedite the process of releasing Archer tools to the user community, and help "market" these value-adding tools.
