Senior Records Manager (DISA)

Position Summary

The Senior Records Manager will support DISA's Records and Information Management (RIM) program at Fort Meade, Maryland. This individual leads the modernization, compliance, and day-to-day execution of the agency's records management program, working directly with the DISA Records Officer to ensure records are created, maintained, dispositioned, and transferred in full accordance with federal mandates.
