Director, Office of Acquisition Oversight & Governance
The Director, Office of Acquisition Oversight & Governance (PSA), advises and leads enterprise-wide acquisition oversight, policy enforcement, and governance, supporting the Component Acquisition Executive (CAE), Program Executive Offices (PEOs), and Directorates.
The role establishes oversight mechanisms, risk protocols, and performance standards for compliant, efficient processes aligned with mission priorities, regulations, and objectives�mitigating risks and driving contract improvements. It provides independent oversight of portfolios (professional services, facilities, human capital, mission-support) via governance forums, compliance reviews, and data-driven insights to senior leaders.
In high-stakes classified/unclassified environments, the Director fosters accountability, cross-functional collaboration (legal, finance, security, programs), and best practices like Category Management to optimize value and reduce redundancies. This enables resilient, mission-aligned governance by enhancing rigor, compliance, risk minimization, and performance through innovative, transparent practices, emphasizing AI integration in acquisition strategies.
Responsibilities: * Establish and enforce enterprise-wide acquisition oversight frameworks and comprehensive governance strategies/policies, ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and alignment with mission priorities, federal regulations, and strategic objectives.

* Lead portfolio-level acquisition planning and lifecycle oversight, including the development and execution of enterprise strategies that advance multi-INT leveraging with AI capabilities (e.g., statements of work, evaluation criteria, source selection plans, and compliance reviews for agency-wide AI-integrated contracts), to optimize contract structures, reduce redundancies, and maximize value through practices like Category Management and strategic sourcing.
* Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders (legal, finance, security, technical, programs) to align governance processes with mission needs, resource constraints, and audit readiness, while leading executive-level guidance, mentoring, and communities of practice to foster professional development, innovative best practices, and AI-specific collaboration for resilient, mission-aligned delivery models.
* Implement risk management protocols and corrective actions to balance oversight rigor with execution efficiency, mitigating risks in unclassified/classified environments�particularly for AI systems�and driving transformation through disciplined structures that incorporate AI in acquisition processes to reduce risks and promote operational superiority.
* Establish frameworks for measuring and evaluating acquisition performance against key metrics (e.g., compliance rates, cost efficiency, strategic alignment), developing/tracking reporting mechanisms to provide data-driven insights, enhance visibility into portfolio effectiveness (including AI initiatives), and identify continuous improvement opportunities.
* Conduct regular governance forums, program reviews, and milestone assessments to monitor contract health, drive accountability, ensure advancement toward enterprise-wide objectives, and track progress on AI capability integration. * Develop and track acquisition metrics and reporting mechanisms to enhance visibility into portfolio effectiveness, transparency, and continuous improvement opportunities.
* Institutionalize processes for audit readiness, best practices sharing, and cross-agency standards to promote innovative governance organization-wide, with an emphasis on embedding AI technologies into acquisition strategies for enhanced performance and reduced redundancies.
