Senior Correspondence Analyst

Overview

When Congress, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or the press asks the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a question, your words become the government's response--and part of the Federal record.

FWI is seeking a Senior Correspondence Analyst to support DHS's Office of Procurement Operations (OPO) on its Executive Correspondence Support Services task order. In this role, you will work within a team to draft, refine, and manage high-profile communications to federal oversight entities, including congressional committees, Members of Congress, and the Government Accountability Office, as well as other external federal stakeholders.
