Job Summary:

Aptive Resources is seeking a Management Analyst to support the Investigators, Scientific Review, and Management (ISRM) team within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Research and Development (ORD) under the Field Enterprise Research Support Services (FERSS) contract.

This role supports ISRM's artificial intelligence (AI) cross-functional team, which is charged with (1) developing and finalizing policies and procedures governing responsible AI use; (2) identifying opportunities to use AI to alleviate staff workload; and (3) educating and training ISRM staff to use VA-provided AI tools responsibly and efficiently.

• Deliver or support delivery of education and training materials to help employees and field-based staff use VA-provided AI tools responsibly and efficiently, coordinating with other trainers or subject matter experts as needed.
• Track and report on progress toward the AI cross-functional team's goals, including policy status, workload-reduction initiatives, and training completion/adoption.
• Conduct organizational studies assessing ISRM's current policies, position/performance plans, and workforce processes, and identify gaps relative to AI-integration and modernization goals.
• Support harmonization and modernization of ISRM policy/position and performance plans as they relate to AI adoption.
• Conduct surveys, focus groups, and other data collection techniques to assess customer and staff experience with ISRM services and AI adoption efforts.
