About The Position

The objective of this role is to provide broad, front-office administrative and operational support to the NTIA Office of Policy Coordination and Management (OPCM).

The role serves as a central coordination point for day-to-day administrative functions and contributes to the overall efficiency and continuity of OPCM operations. Background The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), located within the Department of Commerce is the Executive Branch agency that is principally responsible by law for advising the President on telecommunications and information policy issues. NTIA's programs and policymaking focus largely on expanding broadband Internet access and adoption in America, expanding the use of spectrum by all users, and ensuring that the Internet remains an engine for continued innovation and economic growth. These goals are critical to America's competitiveness in the 21st century global economy and to addressing many of the nation's most pressing needs, such as improving education, health care, and public safety.
