Job Description:
Business Analyst – Learning Management System (LMS) Implementation
Project Overview
The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) serves Oregon's public safety community, including police, corrections, fire, parole and probation, and emergency medical dispatch. Its mission is to promote excellence in public safety by providing high-quality training and by developing and upholding professional standards for police, fire, corrections, parole and probation, and telecommunications personnel. DPSST also licenses private security professionals and private investigators in Oregon.
DPSST is a multidisciplinary public safety learning institution that currently lacks the modern technological tools needed to efficiently create, manage, and deliver learning materials. Existing systems for managing training resources, curriculum, and instructional content are outdated, do not support distance learning, and no longer meet the evolving needs of DPSST students and stakeholders. To address these challenges and support more flexible, accessible, technology-driven training models, DPSST received funding in the 2025–2027 biennium to procure and implement a modern Learning Management System (LMS).
Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Business Analyst (BA) to support the procurement and implementation of a new Learning Management System (LMS) for a public safety training institution. This role will play a critical part in ensuring the selected LMS integrates effectively with existing systems, supports operational workflows, and meets compliance and reporting requirements.
The BA will work closely with the project manager and stakeholders across training, operations, IT, and administration to analyze current processes, define future-state workflows, and translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements.
