Chief Financial Officer

Overview

The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) is seeking an experienced finance leader to join the senior leadership of the Secretariat as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Primarily focused on maintaining the budgets and all external and internal financial reporting requirements for EOLWD and its nine reporting departments and divisions, a strong CFO candidate will have experience in finance and administrative management in government and ready to manage a growing team.

The CFO provides procedural, policy, and administrative direction for Budget and Federal Grants Management, Contracts and Procurement, Accounts Payable, Financial Reporting, Treasury Operations, Accounting, and Finance Systems. The CFO will work to ensure compliance with federal and state requirements while using accepted financial practices to remain within limits of projected expenditures that are involved in budget preparation and maintenance. The CFO will monitor the Secretariat trust funds.

The CFO must direct, approve, and monitor contractual and procurement activities for EOLWD and its reporting departments and divisions, ensuring they work within pre-described policy and procedures in these areas. The CFO also works with Internal Control and Internal Audit to assess and recommend accounting controls, reconcile discrepancies, prepare reports, and resolve procedural problems.

The Finance Department operates in a hybrid work environment which allows employees to work from home and in the office as needed or required based on job duties. The CFO can work in a similar hybrid manner at their discretion and is expected to attend certain in person meetings when scheduled.
