Duties
Participates in the implementation of specifically assigned management programs impacting the Bureau (e.g., annual and strategic program planning, program budgeting, acquisition planning and administration, and mandatory periodic reports).
Reviews existing policies, issuances, and directives on an ad hoc basis as substantive issues arise in assigned program areas and recommends refinements to these guidelines (e.g., procedural updates or detailed procedures where none exist).
Conducts work related to the design, operation, or maintenance of systems.
Coordinates program planning and reporting activities with program budget staff to ensure complete integration of program plans information into the budget process and consistency between data in program plans and budget submissions.
Represents the Bureau at meetings and conferences as directed and maintains liaison with staff members of the appropriate Departmental or external organizations.
At the GS-12 & GS-11 level, the incumbent performs duties as outlined above; however, the scope and complexity of assignments are of less responsibility and independence. The incumbent receives closer than normal supervision than at the GS-13 level.
