Great Waters Federal is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Internal Control Consultant with hands-on experience supporting OMB Circular A-123 programs within the federal civilian agencies. This is a hybrid position with approximately three days a week on site for our federal government customer in Rockville, MD. In this role, you will contribute to the implementation, assessment, continuous improvements of internal controls and enterprise risk management processes in accordance with OMB Circular A-123. This includes support for Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICOFR), operational and compliance controls, ERM integration, and risk-based testing and continuous monitoring activities. You will work closely with federal clients to help ensure their internal control programs are effectively designed, properly executed, and aligned with federal standards.

Provide consulting support to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Controls and Compliance Staff (CCS) to help plan, execute, and report on the annual Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-123 internal controls assessments (Appendices A–D), while strengthening federal staff capability through knowledge transfer and training. This role requires managerial experience where you will collaborate with Deloitte in managing junior GWF resources.

Key responsibilities

• Support and streamline the A-123 assessment process: Help CCS plan, coordinate, and execute the annual OMB Circular A-123 Appendices A–D assessment cycle by improving how risk assessment, documentation, control testing, and reporting are performed and maintained.
• Drive knowledge sharing and enablement: Develop and deliver ongoing knowledge transfer/training (including updating templates, instructional guides, and training materials) so federal staff can more independently execute and sustain A-123 assessment activities.

Required skills & qualifications

• Management experience

• Demonstrated experience leading teams, delegating work, providing review/quality checks, and coaching teammates to produce client-ready outputs.

• OMB Circular A-123 experience (Appendices A–D) and internal controls assessment/testing background.

• Hands-on OMB Circular A-123 delivery experience with demonstrated understanding of the full lifecycle (planning, risk assessment/scoping, walkthroughs/documentation, testing, remediation tracking, and reporting).
• Demonstrated internal controls testing capability (e.g., translating objectives into test steps, defining evidence needs, documenting results clearly, and supporting issue/observation write-ups).
• Familiarity with federal financial management operations and how key processes/transactions drive control design and testing (enough to credibly engage process owners and identify practical control gaps).

• Tools (specified as proficiency, not exposure)

• Microsoft Excel: Demonstrated ability to build/maintain structured trackers and analysis using advanced formulas and macro-free automation (e.g., validations, reconciliations, pivots, structured tables).
• Microsoft PowerPoint: Demonstrated experience building clear, executive-ready decks (message-led structure, clean visuals, and concise talk tracks).
• Microsoft Word: Strong documentation skills (professional writing, attention to detail).

• Presentation & training development and facilitation:

• Presentation & training development: Ability to create training/knowledge transfer materials and documentation that enable federal staff to independently execute A-123 activities (including clear “how-to” instructions, examples, and repeatable templates).
• Meeting facilitation and stakeholder management: Has independently engaged process owners and facilitated presentations/trainings

• Workstyle:

• Proactive, with a strategic, problem-solving mindset and a focus on process improvement—comfortable in evolving/ambiguous environments while delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and quality control (e.g., self-review habits, version control, and producing “ready-to-send” deliverables).

Preferred skills

• Prior consulting experience
• IT audit experience
