GLO - Systems Analyst (Systems Analyst VI)

**The Texas General Land Office is seeking a Systems Analyst (System

Analyst VI) within the Information Technology Services Department of the agency.**

Performs highly advanced (senior-level) computer systems analysis work with agency-wide scope and impact. This position serves as a principal technical authority on system behavior, configuration, integration, and effective use across the organization.

Work involves leading the most complex, novel, or mission-critical systems analysis initiatives; performing hands-on analysis and requirements refinement for high-risk or precedent-setting efforts; defining agency-wide standards for systems analysis, requirements detail, testing, validation, and documentation; and advising leadership on system capabilities, limitations, risks, and long- term improvement opportunities. While this role establishes standards and provides strategic guidance, it retains direct involvement in the most complex analysis and validation work.

Works under minimal supervision, with extensive latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. Influences agency-wide systems practices through technical authority, consultation, and standards stewardship rather than people management.
