Please do not include any attachments (such as resume or cover letter) with your application as these items are not used by OIT’s hiring team.
Do you have an eye for detail and a passion for developing innovative solutions? Join our team!

Our ideal candidate will be adept at establishing a trusted relationship with clients and stakeholders demonstrating the ability to successfully influence and implement change through these relationships.
You will be responsible for documenting the client’s existing business processes at a high-level, and conducting and overseeing business process optimization activities with little to no supervision.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of both IT practices and terminology in order to be knowledgeable enough to know when to raise questions in order to correctly drive the project execution tasks to completion. If you are looking for an environment where you will directly impact the day to day lives of your fellow Coloradans and be a key contributor to overall success of the State of Colorado government, then this is your opportunity!
