The Opportunity:

Join a mission-driven team supporting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) - the agency that protects America's bank depositors and helps maintain stability in the nation's financial system. In this role, you will provide mid-to senior-level acquisition policy expertise that directly supports the FDIC’s Acquisition Services Branch in shaping, strengthening, and modernizing acquisition policies, procedures, and lifecycle processes.

• Collaborate across FDIC teams to ensure alignment with legal and regulatory requirements and promote compliance and efficiency in contract management.
• Obtain, research, analyze, and present detailed and complex contracting information; track, organize, and communicate procurement data clearly and logically.
• Develop presentations and data-enriched reports, offering findings and actionable recommendations.
• Work effectively and collaboratively with contract specialists, contracting officers, legal personnel, and other teams in a demanding, fast-evolving environment.
• Conduct research on Executive Orders, OMB memoranda, and related policy drivers to identify impacts on FDIC acquisition operations and policy.
• Assist with drafting and reviewing updates to FDIC’s APGM, including integrating interim policy changes and stakeholder inputs.
