Join our City’s Finance Department as a Revenue Operations Coordinator and play a pivotal role in keeping our community thriving. Under general supervision, the position in this class serves as the City’s subject matter expert for assigned revenue programs, including Business & Occupation (B&O) taxes, utility taxes, State excise tax reporting, revenue collection, payment processing, and cash receipt operations. The position administers, maintains, and improves these programs and related systems. The position also serves as the City’s liaison with State agencies responsible for business licensing and tax information systems and represents the City to local businesses that need assistance complying with the City’s tax programs.
The position is also responsible for providing specialized leadership in Citywide revenue collection and cash handling practices. This work includes developing and maintaining procedures, coordinating banking and payment processing activities, supporting internal controls, conducting periodic cash handling reviews, and providing training and technical guidance to City departments.
The position is characterized by a high degree of independence, expertise, initiative, and leadership in multiple Finance Department revenue programs. The position is also required to develop and maintain important external relationships and communications on behalf of the City’s interests. Some communications require the position to successfully explain requirements and gain cooperation from members of the business community and other external parties. The level of subject matter expertise, independent program responsibility, and scope of external relationships are beyond the contributions typically expected at lower levels in the Finance Department.
