- Representing the Region as counsel in personnel actions brought against the Agency.
- Serving as the hearing officer in hearing and deciding matters brought before the Agency.
- Communicating and coordinating with the legal representatives of state agencies administering EPA programs within the Region.
- Serving as a liaison between the Region and OECA and OGC.
- Directing and managing the activities, staff, and resources assigned to the Office.
- Serving as the Region’s Deputy Ethics Official.

As an Agency senior leader, the incumbent will view policy and personnel decisions through both an Environmental Justice (EJ) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) lens to support the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, grants, and policies regardless of race, color, national origin, or income. This includes consideration of the effect of their work on communities with environmental justice concerns. Engagement with impacted communities in decisions, integrating equity and justice and compliance with all civil rights requirements, will be taken into policy considerations and program implementation to ensure that EPA achieves its mission for all communities.
