Work in a dynamic team environment and contribute to the success of the Agency's overall mission. Senior-level Contracting Officers (with seven or more years of in-depth experience in Federal acquisitions) function as a senior resource providing leadership, guidance, and support. Senior Contracting Officers, required to immediately work with little or no direct guidance, are responsible for fixed price contracts as well as cost reimbursement contracts involving difficult cost and price analyses and negotiations strategies. Incumbents provide continuous oversight of complex contracts and acquisitions activities that are vital to the Agency's overall mission. A Senior Contracting Officer may be assigned supervisory responsibilities depending on the requirements of a particular contracting activity.

Minimum requirements include a bachelor's degree, preferably in business or business-related fields such as administration, management, finance, accounting or pre-law (other fields of study will be considered on a case-by-case basis). At least seven years of "cradle-to-grave" Federal contracting experience is required. The applicant will possess strong analytic and problem-solving skills, and must have exceptional customer service skills. Excellent written and oral communications skills are required, as is willingness to perform general administrative duties.

All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.
