Do you want to help transform the way Government manages the purchase and leasing of vehicles? As Director for the Office of Fleet Management, you’ll lead the charge of facilitating a government-wide transition to zero emission vehicles and implementing dynamic solutions like telematics to our customers.

The Office of Fleet Management is a critical part of the Travel, Transportation and Logistics (TTL) Category of the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), which serves as the government’s most valued provider of enterprise-wide and customer-centric motor vehicle, travel and transportation solutions. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join the innovative team in our Office of Fleet Management, where we work to provide customers with the Right Vehicles, at the Right Price, with Great Service and the data needed to effectively and efficiently manage a fleet.

As Director for the Office of Fleet Management, you’ll work within the framework of FAS’s core business principles to manage a staff of over 550 and work with senior government officials and industry partners to plan, direct, and manage GSA's government-wide fleet management programs and worldwide motor vehicle commodity management, acquisition and engineering. In practice, this means you’ll be at the forefront of electrifying the federal fleet, assisting customers with purchasing up to $2 Billion in vehicles a year, overseeing a robust accident and maintenance control center, and more! 

Ultimately, you are responsible for the purchase programs that support all non-tactical vehicle acquisitions across the government, including the Department of Defense (DOD), as well as overseeing a shared service that provides comprehensive vehicle leasing services.

• You’ll establish policies and procedures to manage, operate, and market the GSA Leased Fleet shared service and plan and implement the fleet accounting and reporting standards.
• You’ll build and strengthen strategic and operational partnerships with Federal agencies, internal GSA organizations, and industry partners.
• You’ll continuously improve practices to ensure customer expectations are met in a timely and cost effective manner, and comply with acquisition rules and regulations.
• You’ll provide leadership, mentoring, and supervision to direct reports and, through them, to the entire team to foster the development of a world-class workforce.
• You’ll help further diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility and the EEO program to ensure equal opportunity.
