The Office of Administration (OA) supports the Center's operations by efficiently managing and overseeing key functions, including Budget, Finance, Procurement, Human Resources, and Administrative Services.
The Center is looking for someone who is skilled and proactive with excellent interpersonal abilities and a strong work ethic to join the dynamic OA team. The incumbent must have a solid background in administrative management, a strong understanding of financial operations, procurement procedures, and human resources, as well as the ability to thrive under deadlines in a multi-functional and detail-oriented environment.
As the Deputy Director of OA, the incumbent reports directly to the Director of OA and assists with the day-to-day operations, ensuring that high-quality services are provided to Center staff and stakeholders. In partnership with the Director of OA, the Deputy Director supervises two budget specialists, two human resources specialists, three administrative services staff members, and works with various internal and external stakeholders.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:
A bachelor's degree in business administration, public administration, finance, or related field.
The starting salary is set at $150,783 (includes 2025 D.C. locality). This position falls in the Center's pay band 6, which has a salary range up to $227,608 (includes D.C. locality). For a successful candidate not currently a member of the Center staff, a higher starting salary, not to exceed $188,479 (includes 2025 D.C. locality) may be considered if the candidate furnishes proof that their current salary falls above the pay band 6 minimum salary of $150,783 (includes 2025 D.C. locality), in which case the Center would match that salary up to the starting salary limit of $188,479 (includes 2025 D.C. locality). This is the maximum starting salary, and it is non-negotiable. If a successful internal candidate's salary falls above the range minimum, the salary will be matched up to their current salary.

An array of supplemental benefits is also offered, including a transportation subsidy and a flexible benefit program allowing for pre-tax deductions for health insurance, health care, dependent care, and commuter expenses.
