JOB TITLE: Data Integration Senior Business Systems Analyst
LOCATION: Sacramento or San Francisco, CA
JOB OPENING #: 6316
OVERVIEW
The Judicial Council of California (JCC) supports California’s court system, the largest in the nation, serving a population of more than 39.5 million people; about 12 percent of the total U.S. population. Our mission includes a commitment to providing fair and equal access to justice for all Californians.
Judicial Council of California (JCC) IT staff develop and maintain interfaces between judicial branch entities and their justice partners. Judicial branch entities may include the trial courts, the appellate courts or the Judicial Council. Justice partners may include the California Department of Justice, Law Enforcement Agencies, the Department of Child Support Services, and other partners.
Talend is the integration platform used for interfacing with JCC’s internal as well as external applications and entities. This platform utilizes various enterprise integration patterns, and protocol/message translation to support collaboration between distributed systems. This platform also supports the ETL/ELT functions of data ingest, transform and mapping from multiple entities for multiple JCC initiatives including the Branch Data Warehouse and several other systems across multiple JCIT divisions.
This Senior Business Systems Analyst position with the Data Integration unit, in conjunction with Talend developers and engineers, supports and manages multiple data integration projects over a dozen or so different interfaces between the judicial branch entities and their justice partners. Project management skills are essential. This position also will facilitate and coordinate Agile Scrum processes for the unit, ensuring the team works collaboratively and efficiently to deliver high-quality solutions within the SDLC framework; act as a liaison between business and technical users supporting the Talend program areas; provide production support to team members and business partners for new integrations and enhancements, and serves as an operations consultant to business and technical users to analyze and recommend efficient business processes.
The Senior Business Systems Analyst is distinguished from the Business Systems Analyst in that the Senior Business Analyst regularly serves as a project manager for large, complex business systems projects, and provides guidance and direction for work assigned to support project teams. Senior Business Systems Analysts are responsible for enterprise-wide system implementations, deployments, and upgrade projects.
The Judicial Council
The Judicial Council of California is the policy-setting body for the state court system and has constitutionally conferred statewide rule-making authority. This authority includes developing, advocating for, and allocating the judicial branch budget. A majority of Council members are California state justices and judges; however, the Council also includes lawyers, legislators, and court administrators.
By enhancing its role as a leadership, knowledge, and service resource for the judicial branch, the Judicial Council’s staff organization seeks to continue to evolve as one of California’s most dynamic public service entities, focused on improving access to justice for all Californians by innovating and responding to the changing needs of the courts and the public. As a government body charged with improving the statewide administration of justice, the Judicial Council has multiple offices with diverse responsibilities relating to court policy and operations. As employees of the council, every member of staff should view and approach their work as one Judicial Council with a public service mission that is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Judicial Council strives for work-life balance and includes substantial vacation and holiday time. In addition, we offer an excellent benefits package including pension, medical, dental, and vision coverage, flexible spending, up to $130 per month reimbursement for qualifying commuting costs, and retirement savings plans.
