You will also play an integral part in transitioning from hard copy appointment paperwork to electronic paperwork and electronic routing.

Establish an auditing schedule that is sustainable and effective. The integrity of our HRMS data is essential to the successful operations of our agency. This position will review existing measures and create a feasible plan for auditing entries into the HRMS.
Create canned and customized reports and variants in HRMS or Washington Workforce Analytics to assist customers in making data supported decisions and perform in-depth data analysis when needed.
Identify, recommend, and lead improvement projects to create efficiencies related to HR Operations work (i.e. HRMS, employee actions, FMLA & Shared Leave, position paperwork).
As needed, process appointment paperwork or position actions by entering data into HRMS. This is not a significant aspect of the role but will be required occasionally on a case-by-case basis.
Qualifications

Regulatory and Policy Application - In-depth knowledge of and ability to apply Washington Administrative Code (WAC), Revised Code of Washington (RCW), collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), and agency or organizational policies to HRMS transactions and decisions.

Ensure Cap-and-Invest entities are in compliance with state and federal laws and industry standards in partnership with federal agencies (e.g., Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission); market operators (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Nodal); and relevant state agencies (e.g., the State Attorney General’s office).

About the Climate Pollution Reduction Program
The Climate Pollution Reduction Program's (CPRP's) mission is to implement policies and programs to reduce carbon emissions in the state of Washington so that the state meets its statutory greenhouse gas emission limits. The CPRP focuses long-term, requiring creative and strategic decision-making for implementation to achieve broad statewide and interstate success reducing carbon emissions in the state of Washington so residents have a healthy environment and climate.
The Cap-and-Invest Group (CIG) is responsible for the implementation and operation of Washington’s Cap-and-Invest Program, which employs a market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Cap-and-Invest Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain and retire compliance instruments equivalent to their emissions. These compliance instruments, which include emissions allowances, offset credits, can be bought, sold, and traded. The market for these commodities began in January 2023, the first allowance auction was held in February of that year, and the proceeds of the auctions are invested by the state in projects to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The allowance auctions that the Auctions and Market Section are responsible for generate on average approximately $1 billion dollars per year and provide a critical and necessary funding stream to support the achievement of Washington’s ambitious state-wide greenhouse gas reduction mandates.

The Senior Market Monitor role is part of the Auctions and Market Section of the Cap-and-Invest Program. This work is critical to the state's efforts to address climate change, decarbonize the economy, and prepare Washington for a leadership role in the green economy of the future. You and your team are tasked with successfully managing allowance auctions and trading to ensure a free and fair cap-and-invest market. Other responsibilities include developing proposed improvements to the market program based on performance, economic and policy analyses, and lessons learned from other jurisdictions, and producing reports and revenue forecasts related to the Cap-and-Invest program for the agency, the Governor’s office, and the Legislature. You will also represent Ecology in working with other state agencies, regulated industry, and national and international groups on issues related to the allowance auctions, market, and Cap-and-Invest program.
The primary emphasis of your role as Senior Market Monitor will be to complete market surveillance of participants in the cap-and-invest market coming from the financial sector or ‘general market participants’ through the following duties:
Ensure Cap-and-Invest entities are in compliance with state and federal laws and industry standards in partnership with federal agencies (e.g., Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission); market operators (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Nodal); and relevant state agencies (e.g., the State Attorney General’s office).
Maintain contact with futures markets that list relevant futures contracts and use your expert judgement to review futures and bilateral allowance and offset contracts.
Apply your knowledge of environmental markets and finance to closely review and monitor complex financial market participants as they join and participate in Washington's cap-and-invest market.
Identify and propose regulatory options to minimize regulatory arbitrage across jurisdictions and markets.
Regularly revisit the program's approach to market monitoring and seek out potential improvements.
Evaluate financial records and documents across financial and other market entities that are connected through corporate association groups as defined by regulation.
Maintain an up-to-date understanding of finance, commodity markets, and related fields and apply concepts from these fields in market monitoring work.

About the Climate Pollution Reduction Program
The Climate Pollution Reduction Program's (CPRP's) mission is to implement policies and programs to reduce carbon emissions in the state of Washington so that the state meets its statutory greenhouse gas emission limits. The CPRP focuses long-term, requiring creative and strategic decision-making for implementation to achieve broad statewide and interstate success reducing carbon emissions in the state of Washington so residents have a healthy environment and climate.
The Cap-and-Invest Group (CIG) is responsible for the implementation and operation of Washington’s Cap-and-Invest Program, which employs a market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the Cap-and-Invest Program, businesses and entities are required to obtain and retire compliance instruments equivalent to their emissions. These compliance instruments, which include emissions allowances, offset credits, can be bought, sold, and traded. The market for these commodities began in January 2023, the first allowance auction was held in February of that year, and the proceeds of the auctions are invested by the state in projects to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The allowance auctions that the Auctions and Market Section are responsible for generate on average approximately $1 billion dollars per year and provide a critical and necessary funding stream to support the achievement of Washington’s ambitious state-wide greenhouse gas reduction mandates.
