Job Description:

WORKING AT THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

At the Oregon Department of Energy, we're helping shape the state's energy future. Our team is dedicated to keeping Oregon on the leading edge of renewable energy and efficiency while supporting energy innovation, investment, equity, and resilience. From helping Oregonians save energy at home; to overseeing the state's interests in the world's largest environmental cleanup at the Hanford nuclear site in Washington, our work is challenging, rewarding, and diverse. We work with developers and communities on proposed energy facilities, with schools and manufacturers looking to save energy and money, and with other agencies and stakeholders on meeting the challenges of climate change. Oregon is one of the most energy-efficient states in the country, routinely landing near the top of annual national rankings. ODOE is committed to helping Oregon remain an energy leader, and that starts with hiring engaged team members ready to deliver for all Oregonians.

The Central Services Division is responsible for the critical operations that ensure the agency functions effectively, efficiently, in support of its mission, and in compliance with state and federal requirements. This includes financial management such as budgeting, accounting, payroll, procurement, contracting, and federal grants administration, to ensure fiscal integrity and resource stewardship. The division also oversees information technology and database management, providing secure, innovative, reliable systems that support agency operations. Facilities and records management, risk management, and employee safety functions ensure a safe, organized and compliant workplace. Additionally, the division manages human resources, including strategic workforce planning, recruitment, classification and compensation, employee relations, leave administration, training, wellness programs, and personnel action processing.

We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for our positions and hope you will join us on our path to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are an agency that embraces social equity through our values, strategic planning, and actions. Leaning into our equity priorities means we continually examine what we do, the impact we have, and our progress toward weaving social equity into who we are.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Serve as the agency’s lead budget and fiscal expert, guiding the full budget lifecycle, from development and validation to execution and ongoing monitoring. In this role, you will ensure the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of the agency’s budget while aligning resources with agency priorities and statewide budget requirements.

You will deliver advanced fiscal analysis that informs strategic planning, assess financial trends and their impacts, and translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations. You will play a critical role in safeguarding the agency’s fiscal health and supporting thoughtful, responsible decision-making that supports the mission of the agency.
