Summary of Work

Make a Real Impact on North Dakota

Yes, we know, the title does sound like something that a lead character form an espionage series on Netflix would have. Can we tell you more?


We're the Auditor's Office. We audit government in North Dakota to make sure taxpayer dollars are being used the right way by the government organizations entrusted with your money. That's where you come in.


As our Government Performance Analyst, you will provide the Legislature and the public with information about how public monies are being used and craft recommendations to improve government operations. In your work you'll look for unusual trends in data and turn those insights into action items. We're looking for someone who is critical thinker, curious, and good at putting thoughts onto paper. If you've ever wanted to use your skills to make a real difference in how North Dakota serves its people - you'll find that here.


We can teach you the ins and outs of auditing, but we can't teach you how to be great teammate. If you're friendly, collaborative, and ready to learn, you'll be perfect fit - apply today!

What You'll Do:

Performance Audits dive deep into how state government programs work (or don't). You'll be a part of the team doing performance audits of State agencies through research, interviews, and analysis. Put together opportunities for improvement (findings) from that research when necessary and communicate recommendations both in writing and in person to the client. Ensure state agencies are following applicable state and federal laws, regulations, and policies.

Who You Are:

Curious and analytical - loves digging into data and asking, "Why is this happening?" A clear communicator - able to translate complex information into actionable recommendations. A team player - friendly, collaborative, and ready to learn. Passionate about public service and making a difference in your state.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in a field emphasizing data organization, analytical skills, research, or writing. Successful completion of the hiring process including reference, background, and criminal record checks.

What We Need from You:

Applicants need to complete the State of North Dakota online application, upload a cover letter, a current resume, and an unofficial college transcript. Applications must be completed by 11:59 pm on the posting closing date.


As part of the application process, you'll have an opportunity to showcase your critical thinking through short writing exercises. These exercises will be sent to each applicant after completing the online application and are required to complete the application process.
