Duties
As a basic requirement for entry into the Senior Executive Services (SES), each applicant must provide evidence of progressively responsible executive leadership and supervisory experience that is indicative of executive-level management capabilities that are directly related to the skills and abilities outlined under Executive Core Qualifications and Mandatory Technical Qualifications listed below.
The ideal candidate will have experience managing employees through subordinate supervisors and have experience hiring, developing, and evaluating employees. Typically, experience of this nature will have been gained at or above the GS-15 grade level in the federal service or equivalent in the private sector or non-governmental organizations. Failure to meet this basic qualification requirements in addition to all executive and technical qualification factors will automatically disqualify an applicant.
DUTIES:
- Assists the TD in the daily operation of the OTD and significant matters pertaining to the overall agency mission. Assures staff activities are focused and synchronized to optimally support the DNFSB's strategic plan and goals. Ensures the TD is continually prepared with necessary facts and information for decisions and situational awareness.
- Incumbent is directly responsible for the efficient and timely coordination of major staff actions and events and assures actions are consistent with overall agency direction and OTD resourcing capabilities. Directs and orchestrates meetings and conferences and ensures meeting/conference goals are achieved and appropriate follow-on actions are completed. Advises the TD of issues, actions, or other circumstances that may impact the agency.
- Develops, plans, implements, reviews, and directs programs that involve work in areas of considerable scientific and engineering difficulty and complexity. Plans made by the incumbent affect the DNFSB's long-range goals, objectives, and direction, and require an analytical
approach to forecast future trends and outcomes. Works closely with other senior leaders to coordinate and execute these multiple mission-focused goals and requirements. - Supports systems to monitor, control, and evaluate the technical work managed. Ensures technical project teams meet assignment objectives and deadlines. Identifies and proposes activities and programs for Board review that would be of major importance to the Board and the nation and have the potential for significantly affecting the national security of the country.
- Reviews work products of colleagues, consultants, contractors, and others. Serves as primary and secondary reviewer of Board technical documents or papers for public release related to highly technical issues addressing the safety of defense nuclear facilities associated with the DOE's nuclear weapons complex.
- Analyzes, coordinates, and executes the annual OTD work plan. Oversees and integrates strategic planning efforts across OTD. Manages strategic direction; develops policy; and plans, directs, coordinates, and communicates organizational efforts necessary to promote, organize, and instill strategic focus within OTD. Consults with the executive management team, and other management entities regarding strategic initiatives. Allocates OTD resources to achieve strategic priorities and management level objectives. Builds organizational alliances to promote and motivate the achievement of agency goals and objectives.
- Due to the wide range and time-criticality of the responsibilities of this position, incumbent exercises great independence and has a continuing responsibility to interact with and maintain working relationships at multiple senior management levels, often dealing directly with the Board Chair, the Secretary of Energy and immediate senior staff, and the most senior management of other Federal agencies and nuclear sector companies and entities. The incumbent is frequently called upon to represent DNFSB in high-level meetings, negotiations, or a broad variety of scientific and engineering fora that pertain to national security interests of the Nation in which there is little or no opportunity to seek additional guidance and advice or agency positions must be articulated based upon the incumbent's experience and judgment.
