The job opportunity
Join Washington State’s transformation journey as a Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR) Specialist with OFM’s One Washington program—an ambitious, multi-phase initiative modernizing how the state manages finance, procurement, budgeting, and human capital through the implementation of Workday’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. In this pivotal role, you will partner directly with state agencies through the Agency Readiness Team Cohort Model to assess the impacts of changes, identify operational gaps, and re-engineer policies, processes, and procedures to ensure seamless continuity of business and financial operations at go-live. Reporting to the Cohort Lead, you will apply both strategic insight and hands-on process redesign expertise to help agencies navigate complex transformation, align business practices with future-state technology, and drive successful statewide adoption of Washington’s next-generation ERP solution.

*This position is eligible to frequently telework the majority of the time and is typically not required to report on-site. If required on-site, your supervisor will make every effort to notify you at least 1 week in advance, except in emergency or urgent situations. The default assigned work location of all One Washington positions – both on-site and telework-eligible positions within the State of Washington.

Requirements

One Washington (OneWA), led by the Office of Financial Management, is an enterprise-wide transformation project focused on replacing 1960s-era technology with a cloud-based solution for finance, procurement, budget, HR, and payroll processes, utilizing Workday technology. OneWA is a long-term, yet extremely fast-paced project anticipated to fully implement all phases by 2030. The project’s core business hours are Monday through Friday, and all project positions are full-time. We offer some flexibility in schedules oriented around core business hours with prior supervisory approval. However, it is very common to regularly work beyond the typical 40-hour work week to meet the rigorous operational needs and business deliverables required for the go-live timelines.

What you’ll work on:

• Consult with agencies to document current-state business processes, policies, and procedures; compare them against future-state Workday processes; and support readiness activities that ensure continuity of business operations at go-live.
• Establish, communicate, and coordinate clear project priorities with agencies and enterprise partners in alignment with the OneWA Agency Readiness Cohort model and the program’s agency-centric roadmap.
• Facilitate re-engineering of agency business processes by guiding agency-appointed representatives through redesign efforts, recommending industry best practices, and ensuring alignment with Workday functionality.
• Perform change impact and gap analyses to identify differences between current and future processes, assess downstream policy and procedural implications, and support agencies in developing actionable plans to address required changes.
• Provide consultative support to translate agency needs into process, policy, and procedural requirements, and ensure agencies have the appropriate documentation in place for a successful transition to Workday.
• Partner closely with internal functional, technical, testing, and change management teams to ensure cross-functional alignment, timely issue resolution, and coordinated support for agencies throughout readiness activities.
• Develop solutions to complex, cross-cohort challenges by developing tools in collaboration with other BPR Specialists, program staff, and agency project teams.
• Leverage change management and continuous improvement methodologies to support adoption, streamline processes, and enhance operational effectiveness.
• Analyze and monitor project risks and issues, communicate concerns early, and develop risk mitigation plans aligned with OneWA’s Ways of Working values—including transparency, collaboration, agility, and constructive escalation.
• Facilitate regular meetings with agency stakeholders and cross-functional OneWA workstreams to communicate expectations, provide progress updates, identify barriers, and maintain shared commitment to program success.
• Ensure re-engineered processes align with policies, regulatory requirements, and internal control standards, validating all recommendations against existing or in-development policies and procedures.
