Business Analyst- Blake

Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for making systems work better for everyone? The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is looking for a dynamic Business Analyst to help drive one of the most impactful initiatives in our state the Blake Refund Program.

This is more than a job. It’s a chance to be part of a transformative effort supporting the State v. Blake refund project, which helps ensure fairness and justice across Washington’s court system. You’ll be at the center of it all, working with a diverse team of professionals—from court clerks and administrators to technical experts and judicial officers.

In this role, you’ll dive deep into understanding how our statewide court systems operate, uncover what they need to do better, and help shape the tools that make justice more accessible. You’ll gather and document business requirements, analyze systems, and support quality assurance efforts that directly impact how courts serve communities.

You’ll work independently, but never alone collaborating closely with the Court Services Division and partner agencies, all while making decisions that matter. If you thrive in a mission‑driven environment and enjoy solving complex problems with real‑world impact, we’d love to meet you.
