At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska, we are a mission-driven organization dedicated to championing the health and well-being of our members and the communities we serve.

Our team is the power behind that promise. And, as the industry rapidly evolves and we seek ways to optimize business processes and customer experiences, there’s no greater time for forward-thinking professionals like you to join us in delivering on it! As a member of Team Blue, you’ll find purpose, opportunities and the support you need to build a meaningful career and make a powerful impact in our community.

This is a strategic, AI-native operational role serving as the manager’s day-to-day operational partner across both the IT Service Desk and Vendor Platform Operations teams. The Technical Analyst is an AI-first position that leverages Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio agents, and AI-assisted workflows for ticket triage, vendor communications, meeting summarization, metrics analysis, and knowledge-base queries. This role is responsible for assisting in updating the standards and policies necessary to manage multiple technical application releases throughout a progressive environment structure.

It will collaborate across all lines of business and multiple technical teams to ensure the successful coordination of configuration deployments, acceptance of completed validation, various internal and external points of integration, and deployment of varying both internal and vendor software releases. The position also owns the enterprise IT asset lifecycle and software/service renewal management — ensuring hardware, software, and licensing inventories are accurate, renewals are executed before expiration, and cost optimization opportunities are surfaced to leadership.

The position drives operational intelligence that informs leadership decisions while requiring a strong blend of analytical thinking, technical acumen, excellent communication, and the ability to lead without direct authority.
