The Opportunity:
Join a mission‑driven team supporting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)—the agency that protects America’s bank depositors and helps maintain stability in the nation’s financial system. In this role, you will provide mid‑ to senior‑level policy expertise that directly supports the FDIC’s Acquisition Services Branch in shaping, strengthening, and modernizing acquisition policies, procedures, and lifecycle processes.

- Research and interpret legislation, Executive Orders, OMB memoranda, and other federal policy drivers to determine implications for FDIC acquisition operations.
- Provide strategic support for developing, implementing, and maintaining FDIC contract policies and procedures, including drafting new policy documents from scratch and evaluating policy options based on FDIC’s regulatory and operational environment.
- Collaborate across FDIC teams to ensure alignment with legal and regulatory requirements and promote compliance and efficiency in contract management.
- Obtain, research, analyze, and present detailed and complex contracting information; track, organize, and communicate procurement data clearly and logically.
- Develop presentations and data‑enriched reports, offering findings and actionable recommendations.
- Work effectively and collaboratively with contract specialists, contracting officers, legal personnel, and other teams in a demanding, fast‑evolving environment.
- Conduct research on Executive Orders, OMB memoranda, and related policy drivers to identify impacts on FDIC acquisition operations and policy.
- Assist with drafting and reviewing updates to FDIC’s APGM, including integrating interim policy changes and stakeholder inputs.
- Draft and review acquisition templates, samples, and other documents used across the FDIC user community.
- Coordinate updates and interactions with acquisition systems such as APS and ASNG.

Desired:
- Master’s Degree in a business‑related, management, or legal field
