Want to apply your expert analytical and research skills into an interesting / technical area of King County finance? King County has roughly $5 billion in outstanding municipal bond debt.

We are looking for someone with strong analytical, research, finance, Oracle, inter-agency facilitation, and communication skills to join our team.

King County already has an excellent bond compliance program. We want to make it even better. We are looking to leverage automation to create centralized, standard processes to streamline King County's IRS and SEC compliance activities.

• Develop Documentation Process for Bond Financed Capital Projects : Collaborate with agencies to create and implement a centralized, standard process to document bond-funded capital project expenditures.

This role will partner with central finance, PAO, PSB, agency, bond and disclosure counsel, and the County's external financial advisor's personnel to create and implement a standardized process to research, identify, collect, collate, and comprehensively prepare documentation for King County's outstanding bond issuances.
• Post-Issuance Compliance Analysis : Tailor a centralized post-issuance compliance private business use (PBU) calculation tool specifically for King County outstanding bond issuances. Then, partner with agencies to analyze PBU thresholds for King County facilities that are currently funded with outstanding bonds. In conjunction with this analysis, the position will manage an inter-agency project to create a map of King County facilities that have been funded by outstanding bonds.
