Whats the Role and What Youll Do

The City of Mountain View's Information Technology (IT) Department plays an essential role in keeping the organization connected, productive, and equipped to serve the community. From supporting employees with day-to-day technology needs to managing the enterprise systems that power City operations, the IT team is committed to delivering reliable, innovative, and customer-focused technology services.

The IT Department is seeking two Senior IT Analysts to join its collaborative and service-oriented team. This is an exciting opportunity for experienced IT professionals to lead technology initiatives, solve complex business and technical challenges, and help shape how technology supports the Citys operations.

Senior IT Analyst - Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

This position will focus on improving Finance and HR/Payroll business processes, analyzing data, developing financial reports, and supporting and maintaining ERP and HR applications. The role will also lead Finance-related system implementations, such as Business License and Cashiering systems. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of financial enterprise systems, Finance and Payroll operations, reporting, and business process improvement.

Senior IT Analyst - Land Management System (LMS)

This position will lead the Citys LMS implementation through the full project lifecycle, from needs assessment, requirements gathering, and RFP development to vendor selection, implementation, and deployment. The role will also support, maintain, and continuously improve the system to support Planning, Building, development review, and other City permitting processes.

Both positions will lead IT projects, manage and improve enterprise applications, analyze and resolve complex technical issues, translate business requirements into effective technology solutions, and collaborate with City departments, IT colleagues, and vendors. You will have opportunities to improve business processes, support system integrations, and deliver technology solutions that directly contribute to the Citys goals and public services.

As a senior team member, you will also mentor junior staff, share technical knowledge, provide training, and promote best practices. Success in these roles requires strong project management, communication, collaboration, analytical, and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to balance multiple priorities and adapt to evolving business needs.

About the Team

These positions are part of the IT Department's Enterprise Applications (EA) team, which supports, manages, and continuously improves the enterprise applications and systems that support City operations.

As a member of the EA team, you will work closely with fellow team members, IT colleagues, and departments throughout the organization. Because many City business processes span multiple enterprise systems and rely on effective system integrations, collaboration and an understanding of end-to-end business processes are essential. You will have opportunities to work across different technologies and contribute to integrated solutions that benefit the organization as a whole.

We believe great IT service goes beyond resolving technical issues. It means understanding customer needs, communicating clearly, building trust, and helping employees use technology effectively so they can focus on serving the community.

As a senior member of the team, you will be a trusted technology resource, providing project leadership, technical and business guidance, and support for complex enterprise applications. You will also contribute to the teams success through mentoring, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.

If you take initiative, enjoy working with people and technology, value teamwork and continuous learning, and are passionate about improving public service through technology, we encourage you to join the City of Mountain View IT team.
