About The Position

Are you a professional spreadsheet enthusiast looking for a fun and interesting new adventure serving the public from behind the scenes? Interested in making a difference through strengths in data analysis, budgeting, reporting, and compliance? The DVHA Business Office Analytics Unit is looking for a Financial Manager III who can confidently take on both the complex world of state governmental budgeting and reporting AND the deeply personal world of healthcare claims and spending analysis. A proactive communicator eager to join a team who tackles the Vermont State Medicaid Programmatic spending by leaning on each other to stay informed, invested, and accountable. Managing over a billion dollars in annual healthcare spending across diverse funding sources and complex payment arrangements is a significant undertaking. We succeed by fostering a culture of mutual support, maintaining consistent engagement with our partners and stakeholders, and approaching every task with a shared commitment to excellence, regardless of its scale.
