Job Description
Description

The final filing date is Tuesday, September 1, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. or after receiving 100 qualified applicants, whichever is first.

The City of Sunnyvale is seeking a highly skilled Budget Analyst I to join the Department of Finance. This is a regular full-time employment opportunity. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development and oversight of Sunnyvale’s performance-based budget within a collaborative and dynamic environment.

The selected candidate will serve as the primary fiscal liaison for City departments, providing in-depth analytical support and informing strategic recommendations to the Office of the City Manager. Success in this role requires a detail-oriented, forward-thinking professional with strong analytical expertise, exceptional customer service, and outstanding presentation abilities.

Additionally, the ideal candidate will demonstrate advanced proficiency in Excel, leveraging data-driven insights to enhance process efficiencies, ensure data integrity, and deliver comprehensive analysis.

Under general supervision (Budget Analyst I) to direction (Budget Analyst II), performs complex and technical work related to preparation, review, analysis, planning, coordination, and evaluation of the City’s annual operating budget; conducts budget and financial studies; prepares various statements and reports; and performs related duties as assigned.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives general supervision (Budget Analyst I) to direction (Budget Analyst II) from the Budget Manager. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Budget Analyst I: This is the entry-level classification in the Budget Analyst series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine professional duties supporting the City’s budget and finance systems, programs, and activities, while learning Agency policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
