Program Management
69 open positions in this category
OPM series 0340. Manage or direct agency programs, setting goals, allocating resources, and overseeing the staff and activities that carry the work out.
What separates 0340 from the analyst (0343) and administrative (0301) series is that the program manager answers for results. The series is used at every level from a single program office up to agency executives, so titles range from “Program Manager” to directors and chief officers.
Recent listings have included program managers and supervisory program managers across the IRS, the Army Corps of Engineers, the National Park Service, the State Department and the FAA, together with leadership roles such as a chief risk officer, a chief operations officer, a budget office director, a courtroom manager and a fleet and family readiness director.
Applying tip: 0340 reviewers want evidence that you have run something: name the programs you managed, the budgets and staff you controlled, the stakeholders you answered to and what changed under your leadership. Executive-level announcements may ask for separate leadership narratives, so budget time for them. The program and management analysis guide explains how 0340 differs from the analyst series.
