The United States Space Force (USSF) at LA AFB, El Segundo, CA is searching for a Lead Human Resources Specialist to support SSC/S1 (NH-0201-03, GS-12/13 equivalent).

Description:

Plan and execute comprehensive HR compliance inspections and records management reviews; identify program deficiencies during site visits and establish binding corrective action plans and training programs. Provide leadership in workforce planning and the execution of strategic HR initiatives-including SSC Hybrid Program and Future of Work oversight-utilizing data and HR metrics to enhance retention and organizational effectiveness. Represent SSC in working groups and maintain ongoing collaboration with DoD, HAF, AFPC, and other FLDCOM organizations to ensure alignment and information sharing on critical HR issues.

- Deep understanding of organizational structures, missions, objectives, key positions, and administrative protocols.
- Familiarity with the structures and functions across a major military command (or comparable organization). Ability to present actionable options for substantive program issues (e.g., resource management, civilian deployment) to align HR operations with higher-level strategic vision and goals.
