Financial Director

Is a career in public finance and business administration in your plans? How about a day filled with a variety of tasks? Are you an organized, detail oriented, multi-tasker? The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) seeks a Financial Director to join its three-person Business Office and provide a path forward in succession planning. This position is located at 109 State Street in Montpelier and reports to the AGO Fiscal Director. Some remote work (up to 3 days/week) will be considered.

The Financial Director is responsible for the day-to-day functions and operations of the Business Office. This includes financial transaction tracking, review, approval and reconciliation; auditing; internal controls; fiscal administration of federally funded programs; asset management; fund reconciliations; payroll and expense auditing; contract and grant reviews; and fleet management.

The AGO is comprised of approximately 150 employees, including almost 100 exempt Assistant Attorneys General who report to the Attorney General. The AGO is divided into six divisions (Administration, Human Services, General Counsel & Administrative Law, Civil, Criminal, and Environmental & Public Protection), each with its own funding sources and staff located across the state. The AGO also administers Diversion and Pre-Trial Services and grants funds to programs providing alternatives to the traditional criminal justice system.

A successful candidate must be able to recognize and implement best practices for business office operations and internal controls for the benefit of the AGO. Microsoft SharePoint and Excel are heavily relied upon; intermediate or advanced skills in these programs are preferred.
