Spartanburg County Information Technologies is building a unified, service-oriented technology organization focused on reliability, cybersecurity, collaboration, and excellent public service.

Working across Information Technologies and with key County stakeholders, the BA will inventory and assess existing documentation, interview subject-matter experts, document current-state processes and technology dependencies, identify documentation and process gaps, and organize findings into structured inputs for the Technical Writer and IT leadership.
