Department Information

The Office of Economic Development and International Trade (“OEDIT”) was created to foster a positive business climate that encourages quality economic development through the support of local and regional economic development activities throughout the State of Colorado. A comprehensive slate of programs within OEDIT’s divisions work together to offer economic development services for all Colorado businesses – new and expanding, traditional and emerging, small and large – including retention programs to ensure continued competitiveness of Colorado’s economic base, and job training to keep Colorado’s workforce the best in the nation.

Description of Job

The position offers full-time employment as an exempt, at-will State of Colorado Employee with an anticipated duration through June 2026, with the possibility of extension based on available funding.

This position is focused on supporting tax credit programs that incentivize economic development. The primary purpose of this position is to support the administration of the Film Festival Tax Credit, but this person will be cross trained on other tax credits including the Film Production Tax Credit, other tax credits and perform other duties as assigned.

This position, while reporting to the Division of Business Funding and Incentives (BF&I), will have a dotted line reporting relationship to the Colorado Office of Film Television and Media (Film Office) and will provide administrative support for the Film Office team to help manage the public-facing aspect of the film festival tax credit program by coordinating meetings, creating marketing collateral, perform web updates, and other functions associated with the front-end management of the Film Festival tax credit under the supervision of the Senior Program Manager and deputy Director of the Film Office.

The position will report to the Senior Program Manager for Tax Credit Administration in the Business Funding and Incentives team for all back-end tax credit administrative processes including Salesforce design, tax credit reservation and issuance tracking, expense validation, tracking credit’s status and ensuring statutory compliance, creation of reporting templates and materials, define and deliver data for legislative reporting and presentations, and other data-driven needs that arise.

The position provides program staff and applicant support, application reviews, and organizes review panels for a number of tax credit programs, with a primary focus on Film Office tax credit programs. Since program applications are on a Salesforce platform, the candidate should be familiar with Salesforce or related customer relationship management software and have an interest in application design and processes. This role will provide support to other tax credit programs on the Salesforce platform handling a variety of processes and supporting improvements.

The Tax Credit Program Analyst serves as a primary point person for program stakeholders including applicants, other state government partners, and public inquiries. The program analyst ensures that systems are functioning appropriately, applications are processed in a timely manner, program reporting occurs on a timely basis, communicates program information on our website and through other channels, and provides applicant support.
