  • Develop and maintain an effective process and procedure manual that reflects best practice for department efficiency.


People Management & Leadership

  • Coach, train, and develop employees to assure growth and development.
  • Conduct regular reviews with direct reports; ensure adherence to SIIT policies and procedures.
  • Monitor and schedule vacations, overtime, and other absences for direct reports, redistributing work as necessary to ensure customer service and work flow levels are maintained.
  • Ensure a positive, diverse, and inclusive work and learning environment.
  • Assist in attracting and retaining employees through the recruitment process.

The estimated salary range for this position is $85,000-$110,000 per year, commensurate with qualifications and experience. The position is subject to a cleared criminal record check (CRC). A degree in accounting/business or a related field of study is required. A minimum of six years of accounting and reporting experience is also required.
