7200AA23R00107 GS-13/14 HR Liaison 4

• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Supervision/Oversight:

The HR Liaison works under the general supervision of the M/OAA Deputy Director.

a. Supervisory Controls – At the GS14 level, while the supervisor provides administrative direction and makes assignments in terms of broadly defined programs and agency outcomes, the incumbent proposes the objectives, and determines the approach and methods necessary to achieve the desired outcomes. As an expert, the incumbent collaboratively works with the supervisor to finalize objectives, which may require the additional approval of the Office Director. The incumbent will then carry out the assignment, including overall plans and strategies for the projects and inform the supervisor of progress, significant problems, and proposed solutions. The incumbent independently carries out the work, including necessary coordination of the elements involved. Review of the incumbent's work focuses on capability with overall management objectives and fulfillment of program outcomes.

At the GS13 level, the supervisor sets the overall objectives of the work as well as the available resources. The employee, in consultation with the supervisor, develops specific objectives and priorities.

The employee independently plans and carries out the work, selecting the approaches and techniques to be used, and informs the supervisor of progress and significant problems. Work is evaluated on the degree to which program and regulatory requirements are met.

b. Guidelines At the GS14 level, guidelines consist of basic administrative policy statements concerning the issue or problem being studied, and may include references to pertinent legislative history, related court decisions, state and local laws, or policy initiatives of agency management. The employee uses judgment and discretion in determining intent, and in interpreting and revising existing policy and regulatory guidance for use by others within or outside the employing organization. The employee is recognized as an expert in the development and/or interpretation of guidance on program planning and evaluation.

At the GS13 level, guidelines consist of general administrative policies and management and organizational theories which require considerable adaptation and/or interpretation for application to issues and problems studied.

Administrative policies and precedent studies provide a basic outline of results desired, but do not go into detail as to the methods used to accomplish the project. Administrative guidelines usually cover program goals and objectives of the employing organization. Within the context of broad regulatory guidelines, the employee may refine or develop more specific guidelines such as implementing regulations or methods.

Applicants must indicate in their application which level(s) they want to be considered for in their initial base two-year contract. USAID/OAA reserves the right to place the applicant at the Grade/Step level for which they are found qualified during the application process.

c. Nature and Purpose of Contacts Personal contacts include a variety of specialists, managers, officials, or groups from outside the employing agency, including senior federal executive and congressional entities, in a moderately unstructured setting where the purpose and extent of each contact is usually different, and the role and authority of each party is identified and developed during the course of the contact.

At the GS14 level, the incumbent is expected to provide guidance and create consensus through acceptable compromise or other acceptable results. The individuals or groups are frequently uncooperative, have different negotiation objectives, or represent divergent interests.

7200AA23R00107 GS-13/14 HR Liaison 5

At the GS13 level, contacts are customarily employees and managers within the organization but may involve program officials several managerial levels removed from the employee. The purpose of contacts is to influence managers or other officials to accept and implement findings and recommendations on administrative operations. The employee may encounter resistance due to such issues as organizational conflict, competing objectives, time constraints, or resource problems.

d. Complexity At the GS14 level, the incumbent plans and implements an administrative program for an organization. Decisions concerning planning, organizing, and conducting work are complicated by conflicting program goals and objectives. Assignments are complicated by the need to deal with subjective concepts, the quality and quantity of actions are measurable primarily in predictive terms, and findings and conclusions are highly subjective and not readily susceptible to verification through replication of study methods or revaluation of results.

At the GS13 level, the incumbent coordinates and implements an administrative program which requires performing numerous functions in various administrative areas. Decisions concerning planning, organizing, and conducting work are complicated by the number and types of different assignments and organizational requirements.

14. PHYSICAL DEMANDS

The work is sedentary.
