Miscellaneous Administration and Program

Because 0301 is OPM’s catch-all for two-grade-interval administrative work, it is one of the broadest groupings in federal hiring: program specialists, staff assistants, special assistants, executive assistants, operations coordinators and mission-support specialists all land here, across almost every department.

Recent listings have included telework-eligible positions at a named duty station rather than fully remote jobs. Because the series is so general, the title tells you little; the duties and specialized-experience paragraphs in each announcement are what distinguish a records- and coordination-heavy support role from a program-management one.

Applying tip: 0301 uses OPM’s group qualification standard for administrative and management positions, so reviewers lean heavily on each announcement’s specialized-experience statement. Mirror its wording in your resume for each job you list, with months and hours per week, as the federal resume guide describes.
