Business Analyst

Job Description We are seeking a Business Analyst to join a small, highly analytical IT solutions team. This role focuses on front-end solution analysis—reviewing incoming IT requests, evaluating existing tools and technologies, and recommending the best-fit solutions before approval and implementation.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys researching technology requests, independently assessing solutions, and driving clear recommendations forward. The team operates in a ticket‑based model and emphasizes quality analysis over volume, handling a limited number of complex requests each week. Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities Analyze incoming IT solution requests and interview requestors to analyze underlying need and explore relevant surrounding context Determine whether existing city‑approved tools or platforms already meet the requested need Conduct market research and compare viable solutions in a variety of business factors that change from case to case Evaluate solutions from multiple perspectives, including: Functionality and unique value add Usability and long‑term maintenance requirements Cost, compliance, and vendor reliability Integration with existing systems Collaborate with IT Architects (2 on the team) to align recommendations Document findings, risks, and recommendations clearly for approval and implementation decisions Support 3‑4 complex solution analysis tickets per week, each requiring thoughtful and detailed review We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.
