Description

• This recruitment is only open to OFM OneWashington team members.

Who we are:
Our work at the Office of Financial Management (OFM) serves as a crucial part of the decision-making that the governor, Legislature, and state agencies do each year. As an employee of OFM, you will be part of a team of dedicated professionals who work hard every day to provide the vital information and services they need to serve the people of Washington.

The One Washington program is dedicated to revolutionizing and integrating the state’s foundational enterprise functions in finance, procurement, budget, and human capital management. As the most significant information technology endeavor in state history, One Washington is tasked with executing a monumental business transformation. This transition is comparable to moving from dial-up internet to modern smartphones, requiring extensive coordination across myriad business and IT departments to ensure success.
If playing a key role in supporting and improving state government matters to you, you’ve found the right place.

What we offer our employees:

• Foster an environment of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. We strive to hire, cultivate, and retain a competitive workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
• Encourage a healthy life/work balance by offering flexible/alternative work schedules, wellness program, mobile arrangements and telework opportunities.
• Employees (and their families) have coverage options for medical, dental, vision and basic life insurance.
• Opportunity to enroll in state retirement programs and a deferred compensation plan.
• A minimum of 14 days of vacation leave per year and 12 paid holidays throughout the calendar year.
• OFM offers a commute trip reduction program, tuition reimbursement, membership to statewide Business Resource Groups and an Infants-at-Work program.

Duties

What you'll do:

• Team Leadership and Supervision: Directly supervise and lead a team of Agency Consultants, planning and assigning work to ensure effective team operations and the achievement of program goals. Provide leadership necessary for the team to function cohesively and efficiently. Given the specialized knowledge required to manage the complexities of enterprise-wide transformation projects, the supervisor's role is vital and cannot be easily replicated by other staff members.
• Input & Influence Strategic Planning and Execution: Partner to develop and implement strategic plans that align with the overarching goals of the OneWA program. Ensure that these plans effectively address the unique challenges and requirements of each agency during the transition to Workday. This function is essential as it involves a high level of expertise in both strategic planning and the specific operational needs of state agencies undergoing significant transformations.
• Performance Management and Quality Assurance: Monitor and evaluate the performance of Agency Consultants and the outcomes of their engagements with state agencies. Set performance metrics, conducting regular reviews, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the effectiveness of agency support. Ensure that the service provided meets the high standards required for a successful transformation and that the program's objectives are achieved.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Communication: Establish and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with key stakeholders across various state agencies and within the OneWA program. Effectively communicate program goals, progress, and changes to ensure alignment and support for the initiative. This function is crucial as it requires a specialized skill set in stakeholder management and communication, pivotal for navigating the complex dynamics of large-scale change initiatives.
• Training and Development: Oversee the development and delivery of agency readiness trainings for Agency Consultants to ensure they possess the necessary skills and knowledge to support agencies effectively. Identify training needs, developing materials, and facilitating training sessions. Develop and implement effective training is specialized and critical to the program's success, as it directly impacts the capability of the team to support agency transitions.
