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

You will direct the agency's accounting and financial reporting functions and provide fiscal leadership to ensure fiscal integrity, effective internal controls, compliance with state and federal requirements, and responsible stewardship of public resources. The position provides strategic direction, financial governance, financial risk management, and fiscal advisement related to accounting operations, financial reporting, internal controls, compliance, and long-range financial planning. The position also provides leadership and oversight of professional accounting staff and organizational financial management functions to support agency operations and strategic objectives.

This position is primarily remote, with a work schedule consisting of 8-hour workdays between the hours of 8:00 am - 5:00 p.m., Monday - Friday. However, due to supervisory responsibilities for payroll staff, the employee may be required to travel to the Salem office as frequently as once per week. In addition, the incumbent will be expected to be physically at the central workplace located at 550 Capitol St. NE in Salem, Oregon, at least six (6) times per year. This includes attendance at pre-scheduled in-person all-staff meetings. The position may also be required to work at the central workplace on a more frequent basis with advance notice, as needed.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

You will be a member of a diverse team built on collaboration and support.

We offer full medical, vision, and dental benefits with paid sick leave, vacation leave, personal leave, and 11 paid holidays a year.

This is a full-time, management service position that is not represented by a union.

Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, evaluating, or improving internal control frameworks, accounting procedures, financial governance practices, or operational processes to safeguard public resources, strengthen compliance, and improve organizational effectiveness.
Demonstrated experience conducting complex financial analysis, forecasting, and communicating clear, actionable fiscal recommendations to executive leadership, oversight entities, or decision-makers to support organizational or operational decision-making.
Demonstrated experience coordinating with auditors, oversight agencies, or governmental partners regarding financial reporting, compliance reviews, audit activities, corrective action planning, or implementation of statewide or federal fiscal requirements.
