SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

Tier One Background Investigation

Qualifications

Candidates must have a graduate degree in public policy, public administration, or a related field or a bachelor's degree and at least four years of relevant federal budget experience. Because of the often-rapid pace of the unit's work (which is closely tied to the flow of legislative activity in the Congress), the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, frequently under tight deadlines, is essential. The position requires strong organizational and analytical skills and strict attention to detail. Very strong communication and interpersonal skills - especially the ability to communicate complex material clearly and concisely to colleagues and Congressional staff members - are required. Familiarity with the federal budget process and Congressional procedures is strongly preferred. Experience working with and managing databases is beneficial, as is proficiency with Excel.

Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a Tier 1 (NACI) investigation.
