Overview

Are you a collaborative project leader who excels at bridging high-level system strategy with real-world community impact? The Behavioral Health Services (BHS) Department at Larimer County is seeking a Business Projects Manager to lead multi-year initiatives that expand regional behavioral health access, care coordination, and justice-system diversion. Responsive to evolving community needs and Board of County Commissioners priorities, this position serves as the operational bridge between strategy, IT professionals, and frontline adoption.

The Team & Working Environment

As a key member of the BHS team and a strategic partner to Community Justice Alternatives (CJA), you will lead high-visibility, cross-departmental efforts that directly improve how residents navigate behavioral health care. This role sits at the dynamic intersection of behavioral health, criminal justice, technology, and community governance. Working alongside Larimer County's internal IT team, which leads core technical builds, your focus will be bringing people, processes, and systems together: facilitating inter-agency working groups, guiding partner performance, and leading County networks through transformative change.

Your Initial Portfolio (50/50 Focus)

Initially, your time will be split across two primary, high-impact initiatives:

Larimer Integrated Network of Care (LINC) Expansion: This position will support the continued development, implementation, and expansion of the Larimer County Integrated Network of Care (LINC), a collaborative initiative that facilitates coordination among behavioral health, criminal justice, and community partners. Responsibilities will include developing and maintaining strategic partnerships, supporting outreach and engagement with law enforcement and behavioral health stakeholders, and advancing the effective use and expansion of the LINC platform within complex legal, privacy, and information-security requirements, including HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, CJIS standards, and protections for personally identifiable information. The position will help ensure the ongoing sustainability, compliance, and effectiveness of LINC in supporting coordinated services for individuals at the intersection of behavioral health and justice systems.

Consumer Access Portal (CAP) : You will lead the interagency team, change management, and regional rollout for a new digital platform connecting residents to behavioral health resources. Working alongside IT specialists and software vendors, you will drive operational readiness, workflow integration, and community-wide adoption.

Over time, as regional goals and Board priorities evolve, your project portfolio will adapt to meet emerging county needs. We are seeking an accomplished project manager who brings exceptional interagency relationship-building skills, comfort with complex regulatory and privacy frameworks, and a passion for turning public sector innovation into measurable community care.
