Duties
What makes this role unique?
The Climate Commitment Act Implementation Group is leading the design and implementation of Washington’s cap-and-invest program, which employs market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the cap-and-invest program, businesses and entities will be required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. This market began in January 2023, the first auction was held in February 2023, and the proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The Auctions and Market section helps bring companies into the cap-and-invest program, facilitates allowance auctions and trading, and safeguards the Cap-and-Invest Program’s integrity through ongoing market surveillance. In this position as a senior market monitor, you will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies to surveil the Cap-and-Invest Program. The position safeguards the auctions and the market program, which is a top priority of both the agency, Legislature and Governor’s Office. What you will do:
Contribute to analysis of entity behavior within the cap-and-invest program with a focus on activities that change the Washington allowance market and related commodities and futures markets.
Support potential market-related linkage work. In the event of linkage, work on the coordination of market-monitoring activities with linked program(s).
Maintain an up-to-date understanding of finance, econometrics, and/or related fields. Apply concepts from these fields in your market monitoring work.
Provide support to other CCA Implementation Group staff as entities join the cap-and-invest market, such as providing analysis of corporate association groups that allow entities to join the market.
Mentor, cross-train, and serve as strong positive example to other auctions and market unit staff.
Qualifications
The goal class for this position is Financial Examiner 4 (FE4) . We will consider applicants who meet the requirements for the FE3 and FE4 levels. If the finalist meets the requirements for the FE3, they will be hired in at that level and placed into a training program to become an FE4 within a specified period of time. Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
Experience for both required and desired qualifications can be gained through various combinations of formal professional employment, education, and volunteer experience. Please include relevant volunteer experience with hours per week and duration as it may favorably impact your application. See below for how you may qualify.

Duties
What makes this role unique?
The Climate Commitment Act Implementation Group is leading the design and implementation of Washington’s cap-and-invest program, which employs market mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a cost-effective manner. As part of the cap-and-invest program, businesses and entities will be required to obtain allowances tied to their emissions, which can be bought, sold, and traded. This market began in January 2023, the first auction was held in February 2023, and the proceeds will be invested in initiatives to decarbonize transportation and other sectors of the economy, promote clean energy, and advance equity and environmental justice. The Auctions and Market section helps bring companies into the cap-and-invest program, facilitates allowance auctions and trading, and safeguards the Cap-and-Invest Program’s integrity through ongoing market surveillance. In this position as a senior market monitor, you will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies to surveil the Cap-and-Invest Program. The position safeguards the auctions and the market program, which is a top priority of both the agency, Legislature and Governor’s Office. What you will do:
Contribute to analysis of entity behavior within the cap-and-invest program with a focus on activities that change the Washington allowance market and related commodities and futures markets.
Support potential market-related linkage work. In the event of linkage, work on the coordination of market-monitoring activities with linked program(s).
Maintain an up-to-date understanding of finance, econometrics, and/or related fields. Apply concepts from these fields in your market monitoring work.
Provide support to other CCA Implementation Group staff as entities join the cap-and-invest market, such as providing analysis of corporate association groups that allow entities to join the market.
Mentor, cross-train, and serve as strong positive example to other auctions and market unit staff.
Qualifications
The goal class for this position is Financial Examiner 4 (FE4) . We will consider applicants who meet the requirements for the FE3 and FE4 levels. If the finalist meets the requirements for the FE3, they will be hired in at that level and placed into a training program to become an FE4 within a specified period of time. Required Qualifications: Years of required experience indicated below are full-time equivalent years. Full-time equivalent experience means that any experience where working hours were less than 40 hours per week will be prorated in order to meet the equivalency of full-time. We would calculate this by looking at the total hours worked per week, divide this by 40, and then multiply by the total number of months worked. Examples of the proration calculations are:
30 hours worked per week for 20 months: (30/40) x 20 months = 15 months full-time equivalent
20 hours worked per week for 12 months: (20/40) x 12 months = 6 months full-time equivalent
Experience for both required and desired qualifications can be gained through various combinations of formal professional employment, education, and volunteer experience. Please include relevant volunteer experience with hours per week and duration as it may favorably impact your application. See below for how you may qualify.
