About The Position

The Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) protects the public by preparing court-involved youth to be successful citizens.

DJJ is currently hiring a Budget Analyst. This role will support critical central budget functions and help consolidate processes.

This position will also work on the analysis of ongoing employment trends (aka “fill rates”). This position will be responsible for generating monthly reports from the budget office, as well as supporting the budget team during quarterly analysis and budget development and supporting the agency requisition process and tracking.
