The Congressional Budget Office is a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress. CBO’s Budget Analysis Division seeks a manager to direct its 12-member Defense, International Affairs, and Veterans’ Affairs Cost Estimates Unit. That group communicates regularly with and provides assistance to Congressional committees, prepares policy studies and multiyear budget projections, and produces cost estimates for legislation in several areas:
Defense and national security, including overseas military operations, development and procurement of weapon systems, military and intelligence community pay and benefits, and cybersecurity;
International affairs, including foreign aid and international finance programs;
Veterans’ programs, including health care, education, housing, and disability compensation; and
Immigration issues and proposals, including those related to employment- and education- based visas.
The unit chief organizes, supervises, and reviews the group’s work to ensure the delivery of high-quality, nonpartisan analyses and estimates, often within tight deadlines. Responsibilities include coordinating, reviewing, and editing numerous cost estimates for annual defense and intelligence authorization bills and for the many proposals that affect veterans, foreign assistance programs, and immigration policy. The unit chief also coordinates the preparation of CBO’s 10-year baseline spending projections and its analyses of the President’s budgetary proposals for the relevant program areas. In addition, the unit chief oversees cost analyses for a variety of defense and veterans’ policy studies and budget options involving weapon systems, military force structure, and veterans’ benefits.
