In this role, you will support OCSE’s Federal team to ensure OCSE’s IT investments meet ACF, HHS and OMB reporting requirements for its IT systems and coordinate with the ACF and HHS offices of the Chief Information Officers in areas such as risk, performance measures, earned value management, enterprise architecture, and cost/benefit analysis. The applicant should be innovative, a leader and self-starter, and dedicated to providing strategic and operational support for our client, the Division of Federal Systems (DFS) for the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE).
