About the Role

The Management and Budget Department (“MBD”)—located in the Chief Financial Officer’s finance suite (Comptrollers’, Treasury, Financial Planning, Grants, and MBD)—is a collaborative team of approximately 25 team members who: 1) coordinates the development and consolidation of the agency’s annual Budget to ensure sound fiscal stewardship of the agency’s resources (the agency’s 2025 Budget totals $9.4 billion); 2) leads monthly financial performance reviews and analyses to ensure appropriate use of the agency’s resources; 3) analyzes and reviews resource requests to ensure their highest and best use; and, 4) manages and operates the agency’s enterprise budgeting system BudgetPro, including the associated Smart View Excel-based add-on.

As part of the MBD team you will gain an in-depth knowledge of the agency’s financial structure and processes, as well as knowledge of the operations of various lines of business, ultimately providing you with extensive opportunities for a long-term career at the Port Authority. We value collaboration, innovation, and a continuous improvement mindset to ensure that we provide the agency with a best-in-class Budget and financial reporting.
