About the City of Baltimore, Mayor’s Office of Employment Development:
The Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED) coordinates and directs workforce development initiatives responsive to the needs of Baltimore City employees and job seekers to enhance and promote the local economy. At MOED, we view our mission broadly to deliver economic justice to our city! To us, economic justice means creating an equitable workforce system for all residents – especially those who have been generationally and systemically disadvantaged – one that is responsive to their needs and ensures viable economic opportunities. Our vision is for every City resident to maximize his/her career potential and for all employers to have the human resources to grow and prosper – a workforce system that works.
Position Overview
This Disaster Recovery Dislocated Worker grant-supported position is funded by the Port of Baltimore Dislocated Worker grant allocation, with funding available through 2026. MOED’s programs will serve residents citywide and prioritize disadvantaged workers, who are among the 8,000 workers impacted by the Key Bridge collapse and closure of the Port of Baltimore. An estimated 60% of them are residents of Baltimore City. In the three days immediately following the collapse, over 400 new unemployment claims were filed, and over 1,000 more people called for information about filing unemployment claims. While additional data is pending, it seems clear that unemployment claims will continue to increase and impacts from the collapse to ripple out into the community. These funds will provide case management, barrier removal, supportive services, and skills training to workers dislocated by the disaster, as well as offer occupational skills training to prepare workers to assist with disaster recovery efforts and, eventually, the reconstruction of the bridge.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for preparing and maintaining grant budgets by inputting line item details into the agency’s financial systems and producing and managing spreadsheets with confidential fiscal information.

The Fiscal Analyst will review budgetary submissions for adherence to federal regulations and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of programs and grants. They will also handle financial system tasks using the Workday Enterprise Finance Management platform, including reconciling financial activities, preparing journal entries, and supporting end-of-year grant award close-outs. Effective communication with grant program managers regarding the status of grant fund utilization is also a key responsibility.
