The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is seeking an experienced Senior Financial Analyst to support the financial management of the Mass Health IT portfolio. This position combines advanced financial analysis with project management disciplines to coordinate budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, expenditure monitoring, and financial process improvement activities across multiple technology programs and funding sources.

The successful candidate will serve as the primary financial resource for assigned Mass Health IT programs and initiatives, providing detailed financial analysis, budget development, expenditure forecasting, and reporting while ensuring compliance with applicable Commonwealth and federal financial requirements.
