Duties

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this position, you will serve as a Financial Management Specialist. Typical assignments include:
Engaging daily with Congressional staff, DHS CFO, OMB, and FEMA leadership to coordinate information requests and provide updates. Tracking and updating the status of Congressional reports and prepare responses to Appropriation staff's questions and FEMA briefing follow-ups. Analyzing legislation, developing budget estimates for multi-year programs, and conducting cost-benefit analyses for budgetary actions. Preparing FEMA leadership for hearings by developing materials, testimony, and facilitating pre-briefs with the Office of External Affairs. Drafting official documents, providing regular updates to leadership, and ensuring all relevant data points are communicated effectively.
What else do I need to know?

At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters, and every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management. Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.

FEMA is committed to ensuring that its workforce reflects the diversity of the nation. At FEMA, our workforce includes the many identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, ages, cultures, and beliefs of the people we serve. To learn about FEMA's ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts, reasonable accommodation process, and the FEMA Core Values, please visit www.fema.gov .

Promotion Potential: Future promotions will be dependent on your ability to perform the duties at a higher level, the continuing need for an employee assigned to the higher level, and administrative approval.
