In this position, you will:

Supervise, manage, and oversee staff addressing the myriads of recordkeeping, process implementation, oversight, etc., of an annual federal budget of more than $30M and a Trust fund budget exceeding $13M.
Manage, direct, and implement financial programs in keeping with the Museum’s mission of broad service and contact with Native organizations and individuals, with heavy emphasis on long range planning and budgeting related to the Museums three sites, and unique outreach activities to communities throughout the Western hemisphere.

• Plan and carry out financial management and operational studies specifically addressing the needs of a rapidly evolving Museum program. Based on reviews, surveys, fact finding, organizational structures and relationships, available resources, and programmatic priorities, etc., develop options and recommendations for senior management to consider in arriving at decisions.

• Prepare submissions related to formulating, writing, justifying and executing annual and multi-year Federal and Trust budgets for the Museum.

• Serve as liaison with the SI Office of the Treasurer on such matters as debt repayment schedules and status, and evolving financial support needs of the Museum as it undertakes special projects at all three locations including programs and capital improvements, etc.

Qualifications

GS-14 Experience: You qualify for this position if you have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-13 level in the Federal Service. For this position, specialized experience is defined as experience supervising or leading a financial unit or team; preparing submissions related to formulating, justifying and executing multi-year federal budgets; developing reports of compliance, reconciliation, and stewardship on trust accounts funded through grants, gifts, endowments and revenue-generating business initiatives; and providing financial guidance to senior staff related to the administration of program budgets and spend plans.

Your resume must be no more than two (2) pages and should clearly demonstrate how your experience aligns with the responsibilities and specialized experience required for this position. Do not copy language directly from the vacancy announcement, as you will be deemed ineligible for consideration. Instead, provide detailed, descriptive information about your actual experience.

Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.

Part-time and/or unpaid experience related to this position will be considered to determine the total number of years and months of experience. Be sure to note the number of paid or unpaid hours worked each week.

For information on qualification requirements, see Qualification Standards Handbook for General Schedule Positions viewable on OPM Website. How you will be evaluated Your application will be evaluated first for the basic qualifications described above. The applications that meet the basic qualifications will be evaluated further against the following criteria:

• Ability to manage, supervise, and guide daily program operations and a staff providing administrative and technical oversight, setting priorities, assigning work, assessing employee performance, and ensuring staff development and counseling.

• Expert knowledge of the legislation, regulations, principles, practices and policies of financial administration budget formulation, justification, presentation and execution to prepare museum federal and trust fund budget submissions, oversee established control systems to monitor expenses, and provide oversight of other automated reporting systems.

Knowledge to plan and carry out management and operational studies within a museum/cultural institution setting to assess the needs, efficiency, and effectiveness of a rapidly evolving museum program.
Knowledge to develop long and short-range plans for new program initiatives and/or facilities, including budgets, construction and equipping costs, maintenance, projected cash flow, and contracts.

• Interpersonal communication skills to establish and maintain effective working relationships with senior leadership of the Smithsonian, NMAI, representatives of other government agencies, private foundations, cultural institutions, and Native Peoples.

Applicants who meet or exceed minimum qualifications will be assigned to one of three category groups based on job-related criteria:

Best Category - Meets the minimum qualification requirements and excels in most of the job related competencies above.
Better Category - Meets the minimum qualification requirements and satisfies most of the job related competencies above.
Good Category - Meets the minimum qualification requirements, but does not satisfy most of the job related competencies above to a substantive degree.

This category rating process does not add veterans' preference points or apply the "rule of three", but protects the rights of veterans by placing them ahead of non-preference eligibles within each category. A selecting official may make selections from the highest quality category (Best Category) provided no preference eligible in that category is passed over to select a non-preference eligible in that category unless the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 3317(b) or 3318(b) are satisfied. Preference eligibles who meet minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent must be listed in the highest quality category, except when the position being filled is scientific or professional at the GS-9 grade level or higher. Applicants who have not submitted a resume in the USAjobs system and/or have not answered all of the vacancy questions will not be considered for this position.
