Supervisor II

Budget Manager

Under the general direction of the Budget Officer (Manager II), the Supervisor II serves as the Budget Manager for CalRecycle, leading the development and administration of the Department's approximately $1.9 billion budget across more than 100 appropriations and over 30+ special funds. This position is more than a budget management role. It is an opportunity to help shape the policies, investments, and decisions that support California's transition to a circular economy while protecting public health, the environment, and California's natural resources. CalRecycle's work reaches every community in the state through programs that reduce waste, increase recycling, expand markets for recovered materials, clean up contaminated sites, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and invest in sustainable infrastructure and innovation.

As Budget Manager, you will serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, helping translate complex fiscal, operational, legislative, and policy issues into sound recommendations that support informed decision-making. Success in this position requires balancing competing priorities, exercising sound judgment, communicating effectively with diverse stakeholders, and developing practical solutions to complex challenges.

This position offers an exceptional opportunity for someone who enjoys solving difficult problems, embraces continuous learning, and wants to grow as a leader. CalRecycle is a dynamic and evolving department with expanding responsibilities, creating opportunities to influence high-impact initiatives, develop new capabilities, and help shape the future of California's circular economy. We are seeking a leader who is intellectually curious, exercises sound judgment, values collaboration, and is committed to continuous improvement. The ideal candidate is motivated by meaningful public service, enjoys learning, develops others, and understands that effective budgeting is about more than managing resources—it is about helping the organization make sound decisions, strengthen public trust, and deliver lasting benefits for the people of California.

Beginning July 1, 2026, CalRecycle staff will be office centered, requiring employees to report to the office at least four days per week.

This position may be eligible for hybrid telework under Government Code 14200, subject to the candidate meeting telework eligibility criteria set forth in the CalEPA telework policy and/or future program needs.
