Deputy District Attorney I

Overview

The District Attorney's Office seeks an applicant who is already licensed in Colorado for our Deputy District Attorney I vacancy.

Our primary office is in Fort Collins, with our second office in Loveland. In our district, we have the Cache La Poudre and Big Thompson rivers, Horsetooth Reservoir, and the Rocky Mountain National Park. Staff are encouraged to take 2 long lunches a week to exercise and enjoy our community, which could be running on one of our many local trails, biking (Fort Collins is a Platinum-rated bicycle-friendly community with miles of dedicated bike lanes), or enjoying a yoga class in Old Town. Fort Collins is home to more than 20 craft breweries, Colorado State University, and family-friendly community events.

In addition to great benefits (medical, dental, vision) Larimer County provides a wellness clinic to staff for preventative health screening and coaching, primary care services, and physical therapy. Staff can use clinic leave for these services as well as for massage or acupuncture. In addition to paid holidays, sick and vacation leave, after a probationary period staff may also have work from home options.

If you see yourself fitting into our office and community, we hope you apply.

The typical schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 : 00 a.m. to 5 : 00 p.m., with some after-hours work required.

The District Attorney's Office follows a blind hiring process. During the initial screening, hiring managers will only see your application, with your name and other identifying personal information redacted. Resumes and cover letters will be reviewed later, so please ensure your application is fully completed.

It is REQUIRED that candidates upload a cover letter addressed to Amanda Duhon, Chief Deputy District Attorney.
