About this role

Eligibility will be based upon a clear showing the applicant has training, education and experience of the scope and quality sufficient to effectively carry-out the duties of the position. Candidates must exemplify the corporate perspective, leadership vision, broad experience and character needed in the SES corps not only to satisfy the immediate vacancy, but future vacancies which will occur in a variety of organizations, functions and locations.

MANDATORY TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS (TQs): Applicants must ensure their resume describes how they meet the TQs and must provide specific examples that address relevant experience and accomplishments. Applicants should focus on recent experience, education, and training, as some Recruitment Panel and Executive Resources Board members may consider experience that's over 10 years old to be outdated. Applicants must reflect superior technical qualifications demonstrated through leadership and management in the following: TQ1: Expert understanding of manpower resource management at HQ Air Force level or above including a detailed understanding of the Department of War (DoW) Planning, Programming, and Budget Execution System (PPBE) as it relates to developing, defending and amending military department/defense agency programs and budgets.

Demonstrated skill in developing and applying manpower policies, organizational structures and manpower requirement sizing methodologies, a working knowledge of the National Defense Authorization Act and the National Defense Strategy Review Process, and a detailed knowledge of the Air Force Manpower Resource Allocation Process. TQ2: Demonstrated executive-level experience formulating and implementing manpower policies within the Department of War or a similar organization of equivalent size and scope as well as demonstrated proficiency in leading executive-level decision-making processes at both the department and national levels.

EXECUTIVE CORE QUALIFICATIONS (ECQs): All new appointees to the Senior Executive Service (SES) under a career appointment will be assessed for executive competency against the five mandatory ECQs: ECQ 1. Commitment to the Rule of Law and the Principles of the American Founding: Demonstrated knowledge of the American system of government, commitment to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, and commitment to serve the American people.

This includes, when necessary, the ability to lead people through change and to hold individuals accountable. ECQ 5. Achieving Results: Demonstrated ability to achieve both individual and organizational results, and to align results to stated goals from superiors. In addition, DoD requires an Enterprise Perspective. The individual must possess a broad point of view and an awareness and understanding of individual or organizational responsibilities in relation to DoD or government-wide strategic priorities.

Executives should demonstrate ability to work with internal and external partners to support national security objectives. This perspective is typically gained through a variety of diverse work experiences. A separate narrative statement is not required--this information should be embedded within the application package.
