Responsibilities:

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this Supervisory Logistics Management Specialist position, you will support the Logistics Management functions at FEMA Headquarters which has responsibility for policy, guidance, standards, execution, and governance of logistics support, services, and operations, but may also rapidly pivot to disaster operations support in an emergency manager capacity.

Typical assignments include:

• Responsible for identifying and integrating significant internal and external program, policies, procedures, practices, and systems that may affect the entire agency in all areas of logistics management.
• Plans, manages, and sustains national logistics operations in support of the FEMA regions that are responding for domestic emergencies and special events.
• Manages the management and program review of goals, strategies, objectives, measures and metrics that support the logistics strategic plans and overall FEMA mission.
• Manages a group of Logistics Management Specialists and Program Analysts, who, as advisors manage a highly complex, professional/ administrative workload of logistics management projects.
• Oversees management and effectiveness of logistics programs and operations and the productivity and efficiency of organization and disaster resource utilization that support agency-wide logistics.

At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters, and every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management. Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.

This announcement is for a position as a CORE (Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employee). CORE employees are full-time employees hired to directly support the response and recovery efforts related to disasters. Employees are hired under the Robert T. Stafford Act and are excluded from the provisions of title 5, United States Code, governing jobs in the competitive service. They can be hired under a streamlined process instead of a competitive process. After three years of continuous service, Stafford Act employees may be granted competitive eligibility to apply for permanent full-time positions at FEMA.

This position has promotion potential to the 14 grade level. Promotions are dependent on your ability to perform the duties at a higher level, successful performance review displaying at least one year of experience at the lower grade, the continuing need for an employee assigned to the higher level, and management approval.
