Pearland is looking to add a key budget team member who performs a variety of complex financial analysis as well as present findings and recommendations to the Budget Officer, CFO, and City Manager's Office in support of the delivery of the $471M capital improvements outlined by the City's five-year CIP.

This position also performs regular reviews of project expenditures to ensure proper financial management.

This position will also be tasked with creating and maintaining SOPs and will develop financial CIP knowledge in staff throughout the organization.
