Distinguishing Features of Work

The City of Wichita's Office of Budget and Research is composed of a dedicated team of professionals who report to the Budget Officer. Budget Analysts collaborate with experienced staff to assemble the City’s financial plans and Capital Improvement Program (CIP), while also managing the organization-wide performance measurement initiative. The Budget Officer operates under the Director of Finance and maintains close ties with the City Manager's Office.

The primary responsibility of a Budget Analyst within the City of Wichita is to oversee and compile financial plans for designated departments. As a comprehensive municipality, Wichita offers a wide range of services, including utilities, transportation, public safety, recreational facilities, and administrative functions. This diversity provides ample opportunities to build relationships with departmental staff and gain a comprehensive understanding of local government operations.

The Office of Budget and Research is recognized as a leader in municipal budgeting, having received the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Award for 35 consecutive years. Budget staff frequently engage in educational roles, serving as guest speakers and facilitators at various conventions and roundtables.

This office plays a crucial role in strategic planning and performance assessment across the organization. Budget Analysts are often tasked with researching policy alternatives and evaluating program effectiveness. Additional responsibilities may include compiling and reviewing the CIP, executing budget implementation projects, and gathering performance metrics.

Community engagement is increasingly emphasized in the City of Wichita's budgeting process, providing more avenues to utilize both traditional and digital media. Staff members present at District Advisory Board meetings and coordinate virtual town halls annually.

This position involves technical professional work focused on financial analysis and report preparation. Budget activities are assessed and monitored for departments with relatively straightforward budgets. Routine tasks are performed independently, with the potential for supervising special projects or assisting in larger initiatives under the guidance of senior staff.
