As a Senior Administrative Officer, you will be responsible for serving as a principal advisor to the Secretary and Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) on all administrative functions at the agency. The Senior Administrative Officer will supervise the Administrative Services Group and provide positive support to a small, talented team responsible for office support services, facilities, health and safety, records, privacy, and the Commission's electronic docketing system. Overseeing these functions is part of the overall job requirements, and the majority of the responsibilities involve solving general administrative and operational problems over a broad spectrum of administrative programs at the Commission.
Working at a very small independent agency, the Senior Administrative Officer is expected to be flexible and adaptive to manage in a fast-paced environment, assess and develop resolutions to issues, develop quality written work product, and apply sound business judgement to often competing demands for time and resources.
Duties will include, but are not limited to the following:
Work Environment
This position is in the Office of the Secretary and Administration (OSA) which handles all Commission operations, including Administrative Services, Information Technology, Finance (Budget, Accounting, Procurement), Human Resources, Data Management, Strategic Planning, Facilities, Health and Safety, Records Management, Privacy, and more. As a result of these expansive responsibilities and small number of staff, OSA team members tend to possess entrepreneurial spirits, wear multiple hats, and engage in high levels of cooperation to ensure the Commission operates effectively and efficiently.
The Commission offers robust telework and flexible work programs, with telework up to four days per week and one in-office day per week at its physical office located in Washington, D.C. Due to the responsibilities of the Senior Administrative Officer, the incumbent will be required to come into the office to respond to facility-related or other administrative issues on a more frequent basis, as needed.
Ethics Requirements
The Commission is committed to government ethics. As a Commission employee, you will be subject to the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch and the criminal conflict of interest statutes. Commission employees are also subject to Commission-specific ethics rules (39 C.F.R. subpart A of part 3001 and supplemental standards of ethical conduct [5 C.F.R. part 5601]). The supplemental standards prohibit Commission employees, as well as their spouses and dependent children, from owning any securities issued by entities that are identified on an annually published prohibited securities list. As an employee of the Commission, you must complete initial ethics training within three months of your appointment and, depending on your position, complete required financial disclosure forms within 30 days of your appointment.
Receiving Service Credit or Earning Annual (Vacation) Leave: Federal Employees earn annual leave at a rate (4, 6 or 8 hours per pay period) which is based on the number of years they have served as a Federal employee. The Commission may offer Federal employee's credit for their job-related non-federal experience or active duty uniformed military service. This credited service can be used in determining the rate at which they earn annual leave. Such credit must be requested and approved prior to the appointment date and is not guaranteed.
