What this job is about: As the Technical Accounting Specialist, you will help define, document, and configure the financial business processes the enterprise resource planning (ERP) must support to meet the financial management needs of the state of Washington.
You will collaborate with other customer agencies, stakeholders, and the One Washington team - listening to understand needs, gathering and analyzing data, and making recommendations.
If you have a passion for innovation, modernization, and future-oriented goals, joining our One Washington Team is the ideal career choice for you.
This position will directly influence the configuration and implementation of enterprise projects that will have significant impacts on how all branches of state government, institutions of higher education and businesses that sells goods and services to the state can better serve all Washingtonians.
Gov.

The One Washington Team’s main objective is to modernize and enhance outdated technology systems that state agencies have used for decades without much improvement — such as the state’s core finance, procurement, budget, and human capital management functions.
This project will help bring Washington into the present and prepared for the future with live and on-demand data.
