Role Summary:
Talent Acquisition Partner – GS-13
As a Talent Acquisition Partner for the Technology Transformation Service (TTS) Talent Team you will play a key role to source, present and hire mission-driven, forward thinking technology leaders who will influence and affect modernization for the federal government and directly the American people. You’ll be part of a team responsible for full-cycle recruitment for a range of disciplines including: design (UX, product, and content strategy), engineering (back end, full stack, cloud, infrastructure and site reliability), data science/AI, and product management. You’ll partner with hiring managers to drive recruitment strategies, with an emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion and will ensure that regardless of the hiring outcome, all candidates have a positive experience.
As a member of the talent team, you should be comfortable navigating bureaucracy and ambiguous situations. We are an agile team that deals with shifting priorities, policy changes, and time-sensitive projects, initiatives, and hiring needs which require us to be flexible and comfortable with moving in new directions. Creative problem solving is at the forefront of our work as we find ways to make traditional recruiting efforts meet the unique needs of our organization, and work within policy constraints to improve our practices and processes.
At TTS, hiring is a community effort and the work of the talent team touches all parts of the organization. This presents an opportunity for our team members to serve as agents of positive change throughout the organization and build a larger community of practice around hiring. We are a highly collaborative team that supports the work of each member and engages in consensus-driven decision making. The talent team recognizes and celebrates the individual strengths and interests of our team members, and constantly seeks opportunities for our team members to grow into subject matter experts.
