The
Staff of the
Office of Management and Budget
The OMB
staff are staff to the President. OMB staff are highly-motivated and well-trained
individuals. Over ninety percent of the staff hold career, rather than
political, appointments. Over seventy percent of the staff are professionals,
most with graduate degrees in economics, business and accounting, public
administration and policy, law, engineering, and other disciplines. The
OMB career staff provide objective analyses on a full range of policy
options to be considered by decision-makers.
OMB's staff
interact daily with high-level officials throughout Government. OMB's
work requires the following: sharp analytical and quantitative skills;
the ability to effectively present ideas and analyses both orally and
in writing; and the ability to interact constructively with others, often
under high pressure and tight deadlines.
The environment
in which OMB operates is fast-paced. Issues are diverse, cross-cutting,
complex, politically sensitive, and frequently involve billions of dollars
in resources.
