Analyst II

Are you a mid-career analyst ready for a permanent state role with hybrid work, real benefits, and the stability that state employment offers, at an agency where the work has real mission stakes? As an Analyst II with CAL FIRE, you’ll step into a permanent, full-time analyst role at CAL FIRE Sacramento Headquarters. This position is built for a mid-career professional who understands analyst work at a technical level, and who’s ready to bring that expertise into state government work at an agency actively investing in fire and public safety capacity across the state. This role is ideal for an analyst who values versatility, stability, and substantive program work. You’ll support program operations, coordinate documentation and records, manage projects and deliverables, respond to inquiries from partners and stakeholders, contribute to the analytical and administrative infrastructure that supports agency operations, and serve as a reliable professional presence at CAL FIRE HQ. Strong writing, careful analysis, and the ability to work independently across complex processes are central to the work. This position is located in West Sacramento, California, and is a permanent, full-time Analyst II role with hybrid telework. Permanent full-time status matters here because it distinguishes this role from the many limited-term Analyst II positions across California state government right now, and it offers the long-term career stability that mid-career analysts building their portfolios genuinely value. This isn’t a temporary contract. It’s a permanent seat inside CAL FIRE Sacramento Headquarters, and it comes with hybrid work, state benefits, retirement, and the pathway to grow within one of California’s largest public safety agencies over years. If you’re looking for stability without giving up mission or hybrid flexibility, this role is worth a look. Why CAL FIRE?

The region offers a strong mix of state government employment density, university influence (UC Davis), small-town character, and proximity to some of California’s best outdoor escapes. With a lower cost of living than the Bay Area or Southern California, easy access to Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, the Northern California coast, and the wine regions of Napa and Sonoma, the Sacramento region is a strong fit for mid-career analysts who want substantive work and a quality of life that isn’t dominated by commute time.
