Legislative Administration is actively recruiting for a newly established Budget Analyst to join their talented Financial Services team. Financial Services provides budget and accounting services for six of the seven legislative branch agencies as well as branch-wide contracting. This position provides budget coordination for several agencies of the branch on a rotating basis and includes budget coordination, reporting and analysis, preparing budget documentation and fiscal impact statements, and maintaining the budget record in the statewide budget system.

This is a new position to the agency as the office has taken on additional budgetary duties and is in need of full-time support. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to assist in the shaping of what the full functionality of this position will look like. It will take some creativity, resourcefulness, and initiative.

The office is small, consisting of two accountants, one contract specialist and one budget analyst. Even with our size we try to develop as much overlap and internal support as possible so that taking leave and covering vacancies is as easy to absorb as possible and provide as much service as possible. Because of this size, we also desire staff that can maintain good working relationships.

The work of a Budget Analyst allows for some flexibility to work remotely dependent on time of year and business needs. However, applicants should be aware that the majority of work will be conducted in person at the Oregon State Capitol or other onsite legislative offices.
