Administrative Policy Development Lead Analyst - The Cadmus Group, Inc.

What You’ll Be Doing

The Cadmus Group seeks a motivated professional with expertise in establishing and updating internal policies and procedures related to organizational administrative functions; analyzing and improving business process flows; tracking and monitoring diverse projects under a single programmatic umbrella; and developing repositories to manage organizational knowledge and standard operating procedures. The ideal team member will have an interest in improving organizational design, analyzing organizational policy, and applying quantitative and qualitative techniques to further equity and workforce development goals for the federal government.

The Administrative Policy Development Lead Analyst will support our work with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) in overseeing NOAA’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)-funded project performance and milestones and achieving its human capital and equity goals. NOS seeks to provide data, tools, and services that protect American ecosystems and enhance climate and economic resilience; through the IRA, NOS is implementing dozens of projects to build climate-ready coasts and communities across the United States, covering topics from adaptation and resilience planning to improving the delivery of climate services. The Administrative Policy Development Lead Analyst will work with other contractors and federal staff to develop and implement policies and procedures; apply analytical methods to evaluate program success and organizational design; and improve how NOS oversees its diverse portfolio.

Our ideal team member is a driven, detail-oriented professional capable of creative problem-solving, working with different teams to achieve results, and demonstrated experience developing, monitoring, and improving organizational administrative functions. Candidates should be strong writers and communicators; be able to interpret and evaluate organizational policies and procedures, and have an interest in improving organizational design to help a large organization achieve its equity goals. Strong candidates will bring enthusiasm and excitement to this generational opportunity, and be willing to think outside the box to help NOS achieve its goals.

Candidates will primarily work in a hybrid stance from Cadmus’ Arlington, VA office; however, they should expect to travel to NOAA’s headquarters in Silver Spring, MD monthly. Additional domestic travel may be required for this position.
