You will design and manage application workflows, develop program guidance, coordinate with internal and external partners, and ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.

Your work will directly support communities recovering from wildfire, strengthen local fire service capacity, and advance Oregon’s long‑term resilience strategies.

As a key member of the OSFM Grants Unit, you will evaluate program performance, prepare reports for agency leadership and the Legislature, and contribute to strategic planning and policy development. You will collaborate with counties, local governments, nonprofit organizations, and property owners to expand access to funding and improve program outcomes.
