About The Position
The City of Oakland is an equal opportunity employer that values workforce diversity, inclusion, and equity. Oakland has a long history of activism around issues of justice and equity. Both oppression and this resistance to oppression have shaped the city's historical roots and the lives of its residents to this day. As public servants in one of the most diverse cities in the nation, we strive to develop employees who understand the harm and impacts of systemic inequity to create lasting, meaningful outcomes for everyone. Oakland strives to establish an environment that embraces the richness of culture, community, and individualism of employees. The Public Ethics Commission (PEC) is an independent commission within the City of Oakland, created in 1996 and strengthened in 2014, to ensure compliance with the City of Oakland's government ethics, campaign finance, transparency, and lobbyist registration laws that aim to promote fairness, openness, honesty, and integrity in City government. The PEC employs a comprehensive, culture-change approach that blends effective prevention, strong enforcement, and collaborative leadership activities to create an ethical culture and build public trust in Oakland. The PEC seeks a determined and fair-minded individual to join us in our mission to uphold the values of integrity and accountability within Oakland government. The ideal candidate will have experience investigating ethics, campaign finance, or transparency violations for a government agency, and interest in and the ability to build the Commission's investigative unit. If you have a passion for government integrity and effectiveness, we encourage you to apply!
