Job Description:
The Oregon Department of Education, Early Learning Division, is excited to announce a permanent opening for a Rules Coordinator (Operations & Policy Analyst 3). This position is responsible for leading the promulgation and revision of all Early Learning Division administrative rules to advance the policy goals and priorities for the Division. Oregon is home to over 275,000 children, birth to kindergarten entry. Our state has an opportunity to change how it supports these children and their families and, in doing so, put itself on the path to an even brighter future. Overwhelming evidence tells us that investing in young children and their families has a lasting, positive impact across their lifetime. Now is your chance to be part of an agency that will have positive impacts on current and future generations of young children and their families.
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, this position will start off fully remote with the possibility of a hybrid schedule of working both remotely and in the office in the future.
More about us:
This position is part of the Early Learning Division – a Division that prides itself on enabling Oregon’s young children and families to learn and thrive. The Division is responsible for overseeing the state’s Head Start, Pre-Kindergarten, and Relief Nurseries programs, among others; and licensing Oregon’s child care providers.
Considering a career with us means that you value dedication, integrity, and collective wisdom and that you’re eager to employ values rooted in equity to benefit Oregon’s children and families. The Division also values diversity and supports a positive and welcoming environment where all of our employees can thrive. As our state, counties, and cities become more diverse, it is imperative now more than ever that the Division focuses on evolving practices to achieve increased equity, diversity, and inclusion in all of our offices. As always, our goal is to lead with courage externally and internally. This means challenging ourselves to do things differently and refining current practices that ensure we continue to make strides towards equity.
Additionally, the Division is in the process of becoming the Department of Early Learning and Care, a new agency that will elevate the State’s focus on programs for child care and children ages birth to five. This position will play a critical role in transforming the Division into a standalone state agency. The next year of rulemaking activity is heavily focused on: 1) facilitating the transfer of the Employment Related Day Care program from the Oregon Department of Human Services to the new Department; and 2) ensuring the Division’s current programs are updated in alignment with various legislative directives, including HB 3073 (2021), and the mission of the new Department.
What you will do:
This position will oversee the rule development process for the Division from start to finish, inclusive of:
Monitoring, interpreting, and analyzing legislation and proposed legislation for impacts to existing rules or requiring new rules to be promulgated;
Navigating the rulemaking process with the Secretary of State’s office so that all steps of the rulemaking process are executed according to legal timelines;
Working with partners and internal subject matter experts to identify and address key policy issues in rule;
Drafting rule language that operationalizes equity and is based in anti-racism;
Ensuring broad, diverse and inclusive partner engagement in the development of rules; and
Presenting to executive leadership and the Early Learning Council on rulemaking matters.
This position has a great deal of freedom in managing one’s workload, collaborating with others, and determining the best strategies to complete projects. While this position works with a fair amount of independence, you have a supportive team and supervisor to provide direction and assistance as needed. This position will work closely with ELD leadership to determine priorities for rule development and with the Early Learning Council, the body that has statutory authority for rulemaking. The Division’s rules impact children and families, as well as child care and early learning providers.
