Strategic Project Business Analyst
Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, Denver, Colorado, United States
Join to apply for the
Strategic Project Business Analyst
role at
Larimer County Department of Health and Environment .
Larimer County is looking for a Senior Business Analyst to work in our IT Department. We are not looking for a traditional business analyst. We are looking for someone to bridge the gap between people and technology. Someone who thrives on building trust, guiding conversations, and helping teams align around shared goals.
Overview You’ll work in the Portfolio Management Office (PMO) alongside skilled project managers, organizational change managers, and analysts. Every day will look different - this is not a routine or repetitive role. If you're someone who gets energy from solving complex challenges and helping groups find common ground, this may be your ideal job. Larimer County IT supports services that impact our entire community - from emergency response systems to internal finance and HR platforms. You’ll help make sure the right solutions are chosen, understood, and implemented successfully. If you’ve worked in change management, organizational development, or process improvement - even outside of traditional IT - you might bring the right skills. We’re open to diverse experiences as long as you bring a mindset of curiosity, facilitation, and partnership.
Important
Candidates must have current authorization to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
This position follows a hybrid schedule and requires at least three in-office days per week.
On‑site work for this position will occur at: 200 W. Oak St. (Fort Collins, CO)
Relocation assistance is not available for this role.
To be considered for this position, you must upload a cover letter and a resume.
Responsibilities What you’ll be doing:
Facilitating critical conversations between departments, customers, vendors, and technical teams
Navigating ambiguity across county‑wide initiatives and smaller system upgrades
Rebuilding relationships where there’s been friction or misunderstanding
Helping stakeholders clarify what they want—and what they truly need
Translating business needs into clear, actionable technical requirements
Leading Scrum ceremonies to foster alignment and team productivity
Identifying and implementing process improvements to boost performance
Provide structure and clarity to projects and the portfolio by developing key artifacts such as gap analyses, current and future state documentation, process diagrams, and requirements management tools
