Description

ofm.wa.gov

Please note: The starting salary offer will be determined based on the successful candidate's qualifications within the budgeted salary range of $110,000 - $135,000 annually. However, there is ability for longevity growth and progression in salary for the individual once employed.

This position is eligible to frequently telework the majority of the time and is typically not required to report on-site. If required on-site, then your supervisor will do their best to make every effort to notify you at least 1 week in advance, with the exception of emergency/urgent situations. The default assigned work location of all One Washington project positions – both on-site and telework eligible positions – is within the State of Washington, *specifically at one of our two duty stations based in Olympia.

What this job is about:
As the Financial Accounting Transformations Supervisor, you’ll support the ongoing use and development of the state’s new mission critical enterprise financial and procurement system. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to transform business operations by analyzing processes, determining our business needs, and providing strategic direction. Your leadership and oversight are needed as we design and execute the replacement of the state’s financial software solution, while ensuring we are meeting performance goals that align with our project and organizations priorities.
If you have a passion for innovation, modernization, and future-oriented goals, joining our One Washington Team is the ideal career choice for you. This position will directly influence the configuration and implementation of enterprise projects that will have significant impacts on how all branches of state government, institutions of higher education and businesses that sells goods and services to the state can better serve all Washingtonians.
Gov. Jay Inslee has tasked this group with one of the largest and most transformative information technology projects in Washington state history. The One Washington Team’s main objective is to modernize and enhance outdated technology systems that state agencies have used for decades without much improvement — such as the state’s core finance, procurement, budget, and human capital management functions. This project will help bring Washington into the present and prepared for the future with live and on-demand data.
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.
OneWA is a long-term yet extremely fast-paced project anticipated to fully implement all phases by 2030. The project’s core business hours are Monday through Friday, all project positions are full-time, and we offer some flexibility in schedules oriented around core business hours with prior supervisory approval. However, it is very common to regularly work beyond the typical 40 hour work week to meet the rigorous operational needs and business deliverables required for the go-live timelines. So if you are looking to play a critical role in technology transformation within WA State government and advance your career within these working conditions, then apply today!
What we offer our employees:
We support the following values in the workplace:

Foster an environment of diversity, equity and inclusion. We strive to hire, cultivate and retain a competitive workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
Offer telework and remote work opportunities, when possible, by offering work tools that promote creative collaboration, drive efficiency, and best suit the important work we do whether you live five minutes from our work building or work elsewhere in the state.
Encourage a healthy life/work balance by offering flexible/alternative work schedules, wellness activities, mobile arrangements and telework opportunities.
Offer an Infants at Work Program to promote parent and infant bonding, parental well-being and healthy infant development. Depending on your job duties, work location and supervisor approval, eligible employees who are new mothers, fathers or legal guardians can bring their infant (six weeks to six months) when they return to work.

Set specific, measurable, and realistic performance goals that align with broader project and organizational priorities; identify measures for evaluating goal achievement.
