• Assist with Data Act reporting, procurement-system change analysis, upgrades, testing, outages, and coordination with PBGC IT subject-matter experts.
• Maintain non-inherently governmental boundaries; PBGC officials retain responsibility for determining and approving agency policy.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in acquisition management, business, public policy, public administration, finance, law, information systems, or a related field preferred; an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant experience may be considered.
• Experience: At least eight years of federal acquisition, procurement policy, procurement analysis, or contract-management experience, including senior-level responsibility for policy research, writing, analysis, or process improvement.
• Advanced knowledge of the FAR and federal procurement principles, policies, procedures, and contract-writing practices.
• Demonstrated experience drafting or revising acquisition policy, SOPs, standard templates, audit or OMB responses, training materials, or executive-level reports.
• Experience conducting procurement data analysis using contract-writing systems, FPDS, SAM.gov, SharePoint, spreadsheets, databases, and other federal data sources.

• FAC-C, DAWIA Contracting, NCMA certification, acquisition-policy credential, or comparable formal acquisition training preferred.
• Excellent written and oral communication, organization, recordkeeping, customer-service, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to operate effectively in a demanding and evolving environment, rapidly implement Government direction, and maintain professional and ethical conduct.
