Part-Time
Hybrid, Washington, DC
Posted 4 days ago

Ascension LLC is seeking a Documentation, Training, and Dashboard Support Specialist to provide targeted surge support for a federal financial improvement and audit support engagement with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented business data analyst, reporting specialist, training content developer, or federal program support professional who can translate audit, internal control, risk, and corrective action information into clear dashboards, trackers, briefings, newsletters, training materials, and leadership-ready visual products.

The selected candidate will support work across audit support, financial reporting coordination, enterprise risk management, corrective action reporting, and training and communication materials. The RFQ requires audit status reporting, PBC and sample tracking, audit findings and corrective action reporting, agency audit newsletters, audit progress dashboards, and recurring audit updates. The requirement also includes support for AFR coordination, graphics, collaboration environments, schedule tracking, plain-English content review, and financial reporting materials. For internal control and ERM support, the contractor must help prepare training modules, presentation slides, guides, reference materials, Q&A sessions, and recorded training materials related to audit remediation, internal controls, corrective action planning, and ERM.

This is a strong fit for a candidate who is comfortable working in a structured federal environment, can quickly organize complex information, and can produce polished materials for senior leaders, auditors, risk owners, process owners, and operational stakeholders. The ideal candidate will be self-driven, organized, analytical, visually oriented, and able to work with limited direction during peak reporting windows.

Summary of Contractor Role

The Documentation, Training, and Dashboard Support Specialist will provide part-time surge support to help DNFSB communicate audit readiness, financial reporting progress, corrective action status, and ERM activities in a way that is accurate, traceable, visually clear, and useful for decision-making. The role will support the broader project team by developing and maintaining dashboards, audit trackers, CAP trackers, training materials, newsletters, briefing decks, meeting support materials, and data-driven executive updates.

The candidate will help solve a practical customer challenge: DNFSB needs timely, consistent, and leadership-ready visibility into audit progress, PBC status, findings, corrective actions, AFR milestones, ERM issues, training needs, and remediation activities. The candidate will support that need by structuring data, maintaining trackers, preparing recurring status products, formatting reports, improving documentation quality, and ensuring that visual and written materials are clear, complete, and professionally presented.

This role does not require the candidate to serve as the lead CPA, audit manager, or federal financial reporting lead. However, the candidate should understand the language and operating rhythm of federal audit support, OMB A-123 internal controls, corrective action tracking, ERM reporting, and management briefings. The candidate must be able to work with subject matter experts and convert technical inputs into practical, easy-to-understand products.

Anticipated Day-to-Day Activities

The following activities may be performed weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or during peak reporting windows based on project need:

  • Develop and maintain audit progress dashboards showing PBC status, sample request status, audit findings, corrective actions, upcoming deadlines, overdue items, and responsible parties.
  • Prepare recurring audit updates, leadership briefings, and visual summaries for DNFSB stakeholders.
  • Create and update CAP trackers that monitor open findings, corrective action milestones, responsible offices, target completion dates, overdue actions, closure status, and validation status.
  • Support the development of Agency Audit Newsletters and other communication products that explain audit activities, deadlines, lessons learned, and key reminders.
  • Compile meeting materials, action item trackers, status tables, PowerPoint slides, and executive summaries for audit, internal control, AFR, ERM, and CAP-related meetings.
  • Maintain structured documentation libraries, trackers, and version-controlled working files to support transparency, traceability, and continuity.
  • Translate technical audit, internal control, financial reporting, ERM, and corrective action information into plain-language summaries for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Assist with training materials covering audit findings, root cause analysis, corrective action plan development, remediation monitoring, internal control concepts, and agency-specific procedures.
  • Develop presentation slides, participant guides, reference materials, checklists, and job aids for training sessions, Q&A sessions, and office hours.
  • Support ERM communication and training products, including risk reporting templates, risk profile visuals, issue trackers, and stakeholder briefing materials.
  • Coordinate with project leads, analysts, process owners, and SMEs to gather status updates and confirm the accuracy of dashboard data and reporting inputs.
  • Review draft documentation for clarity, consistency, formatting, grammar, completeness, and alignment with federal reporting expectations.
  • Prepare charts, tables, infographics, and dashboards using Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Power BI, or similar tools.
  • Track reporting deadlines and support timely completion of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual deliverables.
  • Apply Section 508-aware formatting practices when developing customer-facing or internally posted federal communication materials.
  • Protect sensitive information and follow customer procedures for handling government records, CUI, PII, and audit documentation.
