This position is located in the Private Sector Division, Office of External Affairs, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As the Director of the Private Sector Division, the incumbent is responsible for the initiation, planning, and implementation of the engagement activities necessary to expand a private sector network and develop the functional and operational relationships with major private sector stakeholders across the United States.

EMERGENCY ASSIGNMENT: Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.
