Job Title: Financial Management Specialist (Finance and Administration Section Chief Type III) - Intermittent
Job Type: Permanent
Job Description:
Duties
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is calling on those who want to
help protect American interests and secure our Nation. DHS Components work
collectively to prevent terrorism; secure borders and our transportation
systems; protect the President and other dignitaries; enforce and administer
immigration laws; safeguard cyberspace; and ensure resilience to disasters.
We achieve these vital missions through a diverse workforce spanning hundreds
of occupations. Make an impact; join DHS.

When disaster strikes, America looks to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) to support survivors and first responders in communities all
across the United States of America and its territories.  FEMA prepares the
nation for all hazards and manages federal response and recovery efforts
following any national incident. We foster innovation, reward performance and
creativity, and provide challenges on a routine basis with a well-skilled,
knowledgeable, high performance workforce. Please visit www.fema.gov [1] for
additional information.

Now FEMA looks to you, join our team and use your talent to support Americans
in their times of greatest need. We are seeking talented individuals who are
eager to assist disaster survivors on an intermittent, on-call basis. FEMA
Reservists are incident management responders, hired under the Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Reservists are a significant
factor in the agency workforce in responding to disasters. These employees
deploy to perform activities directly related to disasters, emergencies,
projects, or activities of a non-continuous nature. Reservist positions are
temporary appointments within the Excepted Service and are not to exceed 2
years in duration. Work opportunities are intermittent due to the irregular
nature of disasters and Reservist employees are not guaranteed regular
recurring hours, deployments, or renewal of employment.  Apply for this
exciting opportunity to become a FEMA Reservist!

EMERGENCY ASSIGNMENT: 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.

In this position, you will manage the Human Resources, Procurement, Training
and Cost Units for the incident/disaster.

Typical assignments include:

- Determining if the organizational structure is appropriate based on
supervisor's direction and ensuring that the structure and staffing are
Incident Command System (ICS) compliant.
- Establishing work assignments and setting priorities.
- Ensuring subordinates are briefed on information relevant to their
assignments and discussing any special safety considerations or hazardous
situations.
- Managing the incident funding process and ensuring that all funding for
surge activities conform to agency directives.
- Maintaining communications and awareness with Regional Comptroller and
regional personnel.
