What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Business Integrations Analyst position at State of Washington?
Who We Are
In response to deaths resulting from encounters with law enforcement and the community’s demand for change, the Washington State Legislature created a new, first-of-its-kind agency: the Office of Independent Investigations (OII). This new agency was formed in 2021 and operates under the requirements of the law, in which investigations involving the use of deadly force must be truly independent of the involved law enforcement agency.
Our mission is to conduct fair, thorough, transparent, and competent investigations of incidents involving the use of deadly force. This approach to investigations will remove conflicts of interest, improve accountability and transparency, and renew the public’s confidence. Through these efforts, we hope to strengthen the relationships between police and the community, build public trust, and promote effective policing.
We are seeking an IT Business Integrations Analyst who is energized by solving complex challenges and shaping high-impact technology solutions. In this role, you will drive innovation by automating workflows within Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems, integrating secure third-party platforms, and managing mission-critical data exchanges that enable the organization to operate at its best. Serving as a strategic liaison between business units and technical teams, you will analyze processes, uncover improvement opportunities, and translate diverse business needs into scalable, forward-thinking technology capabilities. This position is vital to advancing the mission of OII by elevating operational efficiency, strengthening enterprise data practices, and ensuring full compliance with rigorous state and federal data privacy standards.
