Job Description
Description
This home-based (remote) position is open to Washington residents and those living in Oregon and Idaho, as well as candidates outside this area who are willing to relocate to Washington, Oregon, or Idaho within 30 days of their start date. Work may be performed remotely or from our office located in Tumwater, WA, based on the employee's preference.
The Opportunity
The Department of Health’s Office of Financial Services provides the financial and operational foundation that supports the agency’s work. As Deputy Chief Financial Officer, you’ll partner with the CFO to lead the office’s strategic and day-to-day operations, overseeing 175 FTE.
This is a broad enterprise leadership role with influence well beyond Financial Services. You’ll advise the Secretary of Health, Chief of Staff, and executive leadership on financial, operational, and administrative matters; help shape agency policies and procedures; and represent the financial perspective in decisions that affect the agency.
Key Responsibilities Include:
Leading Financial Services Operations
- Partner with the CFO to provide strategic and operational direction for the Office of Financial Services.
- Lead strategic planning and monitor and report on Financial Services performance measures.
- Oversee the day-to-day operations, performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of the office, incorporating LEAN and quality improvement into daily work.
- Provide leadership and oversight for Accounting and Grant Services, Emergency Response Finance, the Performance Improvement Team, and administrative staff.
- Support budget proposals and adjustments.
Leading People and Organizational Performance
- Promote employee engagement, professional development, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
- Oversee recruitment, hiring, performance management, separation, and grievance matters for Financial Services.
- Coach and support supervisors in effective performance management.
Shaping Enterprise Policy and Financial Operations
- Lead the development, implementation, maintenance, and review of enterprise financial and administrative policies and procedures.
- Ensure financial policies and procedures remain aligned with state and federal requirements.
- Participate in the DOH Policy Review Committee and provide recommendations on the financial and operational impact of agency policies and initiatives.
- Support the Financial Operations Group in coordinating financial and budgetary matters across the agency.
- Provide guidance to other Central Business Services offices on the development and management of the agency’s indirect cost proposal.
Providing Financial Leadership During Emergencies
- Lead financial aspects of emergency preparedness and response activities, including fiscal and contracting functions.
- Provide staffing and leadership for Finance Section Chief, Deputy Finance Section Chief, and Timekeeper roles during Incident Management Team activations.
- Coordinate Financial Services responsibilities with the Agency Duty Officer and Agency Coordination Center Director during emergency response.
- Serve in succession as CFO during a Continuity of Operations activation.
Influencing Agency-Wide Decisions
- Co-facilitate the Agency Deputies Group and contribute the financial perspective to agency policy, information technology, and administrative decisions.
- Advise agency leadership on financial management, policies, procedures, resource allocation, and enterprise initiatives.
- Represent the Department of Health on statewide workgroups, committees, and partnerships with other state and federal agencies and national organizations.
What This Role Offers
Your financial leadership will have an impact far beyond Financial Services. You’ll help ensure the Department of Health has the resources, financial practices, and operational foundation needed to carry out our work and communities we serve across Washington.
You’ll work alongside agency leadership on decisions that shape how resources are managed, how the organization operates, and how it prepares to respond when Washington faces an emergency. You’ll also help protect funding and financial resources that support the agency and its ability to work with local health jurisdictions, tribes, and community-based organizations.

Mid Level Financial Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level financial officer job?
Position your application around ownership, not just participation. Hiring managers at this level want to see that you have led a reporting cycle, managed a budget line, or delivered analysis that influenced a real decision. Tailor your resume to show scope and outcomes rather than tasks, and make your impact on the organization's financial operations concrete and specific.
Which companies hire mid level financial officers?
Companies hiring mid level financial officers right now include Jobot, ChemTreat, and Travelers, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level covers publicly traded corporations, private equity-backed firms, healthcare systems, and government contractors, all of which tend to maintain dedicated finance teams that need experienced professionals below the director tier.
Are there remote mid level financial officer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and function. About 29% of mid level financial officer openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with hybrid arrangements most common at larger organizations that still value in-person collaboration for budget reviews and cross-departmental planning. Fully remote roles tend to appear more often in technology and financial services.
How do I move up to a mid level financial officer role?
The path from entry level to mid level is built on expanding the scope of what you own. Start by taking on full responsibility for a recurring process, such as month-end close or variance analysis, rather than just supporting it. Demonstrating that you can identify problems, propose solutions, and follow through without constant guidance is what signals readiness for a mid level title and the ownership that comes with it.
Which industries hire the most mid level financial officers?
Mid Level financial officer roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Staffing & Recruiting, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors tend to generate consistent demand at this level because they operate with complex multi-entity or multi-location structures that require experienced finance professionals to manage reporting, compliance, and planning between the entry and senior tiers.
