About the Role

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) leads the development, negotiation, and presentation of the National Intelligence Program (NIP) budget on behalf of the Director of National Intelligence to the President and the Congress. The CFO's three main responsibilities include resource management (budget analysis, formulation, justification, and execution), performance planning and evaluation, and financial management improvement.

What You'll Do

  • The Intelligence Community (IC) Chief Financial Officer (CFO) leads IC-wide efforts to develop, determine, and present the National Intelligence Program (NIP) budget to the Office of Management and Budget and Congress on behalf of the Director of National Intelligence.
  • The IC CFO also leads IC resource, performance, and financial management as well as procurement oversight and facilities activities.
  • Additionally, IC CFO, through the CFE, provides oversight of ODNI resources, managing formulation, justification, execution, contracts, manpower, financial audits, and ODNI budget matters in coordination with the IC, OMB, DoW, and Congress.
  • The IC CFO serves as the single point of integration for all performance- and budget-related activities across the 18 NIP elements.
  • Major Duties and Responsibilities: Conduct independent research and analysis of federal acquisition statutes, regulations (e.g., FAR and supplements), and Intelligence Community policies to develop, revise, and implement procurement guidance.
  • Lead the drafting, coordination, and issuance of acquisition policy memoranda, implementing instructions, white papers, and briefing materials for senior leadership decision-making.
  • Serve as a principal reviewer of acquisition strategies, acquisition plans, source selection documentation, and statements of work to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and policy; provide authoritative recommendations.
  • Apply expert-level cradle-to-grave contracting knowledge to advise on acquisition planning, solicitation development, evaluation strategies, award documentation, contract administration, and closeout activities.
  • Perform complex cost and price analysis and develop negotiation strategies; provide expert advice regarding contract type selection (e.g., firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, IDIQ).
  • Evaluate and provide policy guidance on the use of innovative acquisition approaches, including Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs), CRADAs, and other non-traditional contracting methods.
  • Lead coordination efforts with contracting officers, contracting officer representatives, program officials, legal counsel, and senior stakeholders to resolve acquisition policy issues and ensure consistent interpretation and implementation of guidance.
  • Analyze procurement trends, audit findings, and enterprise-level performance data to identify systemic compliance risks and develop strategic process improvements that enhance efficiency, transparency, and acquisition integrity across the IC.
  • Serve directly as a COTR or in similar capacities in OT and FAR based acquisitions.
  • Lead efficient organizational operations and institute effective contracting principles, techniques, and procedures by comprehension of Agency strategic vision.
