This vacancy announcement is open to the public. This position allows for recurring and situational telework but does not qualify for full-time or remote telework.
This position will report to the Judicial Conference Secretariat Officer in the Judicial Conference Secretariat (JCS). The JCS is seeking a self-motivated, dynamic, and experienced Deputy Judicial Conference Secretariat to join its team. The JCS plays a vital role in supporting the Judicial Conference and its committees in their work of making national administrative policy for the federal judiciary. The Judicial Conference is a standing body of federal judges that serves as the national policymaking arm of the federal judiciary, setting national internal policies governing the operation of federal courts and federal defender offices, and making recommendations to Congress concerning legislation involving the judicial branch. The Conference conducts much of its work through a network of standing policy committees with jurisdiction over different subject areas, which are also staffed by personnel from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AO).
Headed by the Judicial Conference Secretariat Officer, JCS is responsible for providing staff services to the Conference and its Executive Committee, including professional and administrative support of the Conference's biannual sessions and more-frequent Executive Committee meetings, and for coordinating other AO staff who support the work of other Conference committees. The JCS activities are highly visible to numerous senior officials of the federal judiciary and high-level staff in the AO. The office is responsible for reviewing all policy proposals concerning the governance and administration of the federal judiciary that are presented to the Conference or its committees, and for supporting the advisory structure of judges and professional court personnel that advise the AO Director.
The incumbent will address inquiries from judges and others regarding policies and actions of the Judicial Conference and its committees, and provide procedural guidance and advice. The incumbent will take the lead in preparing agenda materials for the Executive Committee, supervising the guidance and support provided by JCS to committee staffers (which includes the vetting of policy proposals prepared by staffers for committee consideration), and overseeing the logistical and other administrative arrangements for Conference sessions and Executive Committee meetings. The incumbent will also assist the JCS Officer in carrying out various other functions of JCS, including participation in management decisions, delivery of staff services at Judicial Conference sessions, and acting in the Judicial Conference Secretariat Officer's absence.
