The incumbent is responsible for setting strategies and establishing policies for and directing the activities of the Procurement Management Division and the Administrative Management Division.

The incumbent will be privy to the political, personal, and management philosophies of the Office of the President.

In FY2024, Ginnie Mae obligated more than $1.1 billion across nearly 67 active procurements including both the master subservicer (MSS) and non-MSS contracts. PMD works and coordinates with OCFO in requesting, securing, and managing over $300 million a year for the non-MSS contracts.
