The work you’ll do is more than just a job. Join the talented, engaged and inclusive workforce dedicated to creating a better Minnesota. Executive Budget Officers (EBOs) and Executive Budget Officer Trainees (EBOTs) develop and implement state budget policy and consult with state agency management on fiscal policy and programmatic issues. EBOs assist state agencies in the development and review of their operating and capital budget proposals; analyze and present agency budget recommendations to Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) leadership and other executive branch decision-makers; provide support to executive and legislative branch staff during the budget process, including when analyzing budget items, negotiating and building consensus, and verifying accurate bill drafting; track legislative actions on budget issues; and monitor state agency spending plans for compliance with law, legislative intent, and financial management policies. EBOs and EBOTs are critical resources in aiding MMB’s Budget Division to successfully serve as the central budget office for the executive branch. The working distinction between EBO and EBOT is an internal distinction used only within MMB. The two levels of position posted do very similar work. However, the EBOT completes their duties and assignment with closer supervision, direction and assistance from supervisors or more experienced colleagues for a training period roughly equivalent to one full biennial budget cycle (18-24 months).
