Human Resources Specialist

We're hiring on the Individual and Organizational Development (I&OD) team at Washington Headquarters Services (WHS). This is a career ladder role, GS-11 through GS-13, for someone who can go beyond identifying an organizational or team performance issue to diagnose what's driving it and design an effective, targeted intervention to address it.

The strongest candidates bring experience across several of the following:

• Organizational diagnostics and intervention design, aligning root causes with effective solutions
• Identifying the factors hindering performance using frameworks such as Gilbert's Behavior Engineering Model (BEM)
• Conducting focus groups, interviews, and surveys, including survey design
• Synthesizing data across multiple collection methods into clear, actionable findings
• Communicating sensitive or difficult findings to leaders with clarity and tact, in ways that build trust and drive action
• Process improvement and performance improvement initiatives
• Facilitating team and leader sessions, and providing coaching support for leaders and teams
• Evaluation analytics and impact measurement

We're looking for candidates with real grounding in organizational development (OD), organizational behavior, or industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, whether from academic training, applied experience, or both. Where a candidate lands on the ladder will depend on their experience and qualifications.

Apply by Monday, November 16th.
