You will plan and execute a comprehensive audit and evaluation program, administering the quality assurance program for all products, tracking audit resolution, ensuring management action on audit recommendations, and developing and implementing AlGA’s policies, strategies, and procedures to ensure that all products meet the “Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards.” In addition, you will be responsible for the management of the audit portion of the NRC OIG budget.
Key duties and responsibilities are as follows:
Highly desired qualified candidates will have served for at least 5 to 10 years in a supervisory/management position at or above the federal GS-15 level or its equivalent with state or local government, private sector, or nongovernmental organizations.

Your application must clearly reflect specialized experience in a managerial capacity with responsibility for providing managerial and supervisory direction to a diverse federal, state, or local government agency/organization, preferably responsible for conducting audits and/or investigations designed to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse and misconduct, and that promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in the administration of programs and operations on a national level.
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE:
Successful candidates will possess significant experience in the audit communities, and preferably have worked at least 10 years managing seasoned, experienced, auditing professionals in an Office of the Inspector General at the local, state, or federal level. This experience must demonstrate sophisticated analytical skills, superior written and oral communications skills, good judgement, conflict resolution, impeccable ethics, and experience in interacting with government and non-government officials.

Applicants who do not meet or do not demonstrate possession of the ECQs and PTQs in their application will be eliminated from further consideration.
This is a Career-Reserved position in the Senior Executive Service.
Although not required, a Certified Public Accountant license is highly desirable.

Therefore, all applicants should use the Challenge-Context-Action-Result (CCAR) Model addressing their ECQs for this position. No more than two examples of relevant experience should be used per ECQ to demonstrate your experience.

You must address each ECQ separately and are required to respond to all ECQs. Please limit your written statements to no more than two pages per ECQ.
