The National Council on Disability (NCD) invites qualified individuals

retaining qualified people with disabilities and encourages people
with disabilities to apply for the Executive Director position.

NCD is an independent federal agency charged with advising the
President, Congress, and other federal agencies regarding policies,
programs, practices, and procedures that affect people with
disabilities. The Executive Director is responsible for overall
day-to-day management of the agency and expected to serve both as a
substantive leader regarding NCD’s policy work and be ultimately
responsible for various executive functions required of all federal
agencies. NCD’s Bylaws, Strategic Plan, and budget information are
available at http://www.ncd.gov/Accountability.

The ideal candidate for Executive Director will be an individual who
is (1) deeply experienced in disability policy issues and
well-positioned to become the substantive policy leader and public
face of NCD, (2) knowledgeable and experienced in management of a
federal agency, including all aspects of personnel management and
preparation of annual budgets and written justifications to the U.S.
Office of Management and Budget and U.S. Congress, and (3) an
effective communicator and coalition-builder who can work effectively
with NCD’s stakeholders, the White House, Administration, and
Congress.

Candidates should meet the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s
Executive Core Qualifications, which are available at
http://www.opm.gov/ses/recruitment/ecq.asp. Your resume must
demonstrate your experience, accomplishments, training, education and
awards reflecting your ability to meet each of the executive core
qualifications. Compensation and benefits for the Executive Director
position are comparable to Level IV of the Executive Schedule.

How to Apply:
Inquiries and applications should be addressed to Jeff Rosen,
Chairperson of the National Council on Disability, and either emailed
to NCD at NCD.gov (with a subject line of ED Application) or mailed to
NCD at 1331 F Street, NW, Suite 850, Washington, DC 20004.
Applications should include (1) a cover letter summarizing an
individual’s qualifications for, interest in, and vision for being NCD
Executive Director, (2) a resume specifically developed to demonstrate
qualification for serving as the next Executive Director, and (3)
references. To ensure consideration for the position, prospective
applicants are encouraged to submit their cover letters and resumes as
soon as possible.

How You Will Be Evaluated:

Step 1: Resume Screening
Step 2: Structured Interviews to determine Best Qualified (BQ) Candidates
Step 3: Selection by the Chair, NCD.

position is filled.
