GDIT has as opportunity to support the Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) task area for the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. In this role, you will support OCSE’s Federal team to ensure OCSE’s IT investments meet ACF, HHS and OMB reporting requirements for its IT systems and coordinate with the ACF and HHS offices of the Chief Information Officers in areas such as risk, performance measures, earned value management, enterprise architecture, and cost/benefit analysis. The applicant should be innovative, a leader and self-starter, and dedicated to providing strategic and operational support for our client, the Division of Federal Systems (DFS) for the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE).

Currently, this role is remote. The customer site is the Department of Health and Human Services Mary Switzer Building near Federal Center Southwest in Washington, D.C; periodic on-site attendance may be requested as needed.

These secure systems and services help child support agencies, employers, insurers, and financial institutions exchange information about child support cases, locate parents, establish paternity, custody and visitation, collect support, and identify fraud.

The primary role of this position is to advise and assist the customer with implementing internal processes and ensuring reporting compliance consistent with Federal IT investment requirements. As such, this role includes collaboration with many stakeholders, and a thorough understanding of OCSE's systems and operations.
