• Minimum 10 years of relevant experience leading teams and identifying stakeholders' business needs.
• Proficiency in communication, change management, and mobilizing and engaging stakeholders who benefit from using HSIN.
• Demonstrated ability to build stakeholder relationships based on trust and mutual respect, and to manage expectations through consultation and negotiation.
• Ability to rapidly develop working knowledge of the full range of HSIN features and products sufficient to inform and advise stakeholders.
• U.S. citizenship required. Non-U.S. citizens, including Lawful Permanent Residents, are not permitted to access DHS IT systems under this task order.

• Strongly preferred: experience with Drupal-based websites or platforms, including content governance, how files are stored and shared, and platform capabilities and limitations.
• Experience developing outreach materials, fact sheets, briefings, and webinars for diverse government and private-sector audiences.
