AFS is seeking an Operations Site Lead to own all on-site activities and manage all personnel at their assigned location, serving as the single point of accountability for site operations, facilities coordination, and personnel administration. The Operations Site Lead ensures the site is staffed, secure, and operating smoothly, and is the primary point of contact for site-level personnel matters from onboarding through roll-off. They oversee the Supervisor and SME Supervisor roles at the site, ensuring shift operations and workstream execution run effectively, while owning the administrative and personnel functions that sit above day-to-day shift management.

The Site Lead reports directly to the Program Lead and is the escalation point for site-level issues that cannot be resolved by the Supervisor or SME Supervisor. The Site Lead is distinct from the Supervisor and SME Supervisor roles in scope: those roles own shift-level and workstream-level execution, while the Site Lead owns the site itself; its personnel lifecycle, facilities/access, and overall operational posture. The SME provides Site Lead coverage as needed during absences or gaps.

Work Schedule Monday–Friday, 8-hour shift. Participation in on-call rotation, which spans weekends and holidays. After-hours coverage for site-level emergencies. Work is performed onsite with access to specified workspace.

The Work:

Serve as the single point of accountability for all on-site activities and personnel at the assigned site.
Own the personnel lifecycle for site staff: onboarding, in-processing, badging/access coordination, and roll-off/out-processing.
Assist incoming personnel with badge requests, facility access, and required site in-processing steps.
Serve as the primary point of contact for personnel issues arising at the site (conduct, attendance, conflicts) and coordinate resolution with leadership/HR as needed.
Support the Supervisor and SME Supervisor roles at the site, ensuring shift operations and workstream execution are running effectively.
Serve as the site-level escalation point for issues that exceed Supervisor or SME Supervisor authority.
Coordinate site facilities, physical security, and access management with relevant site/facility points of contact.
Maintain overall situational awareness of site staffing levels, coverage, and readiness; coordinate with Supervisors on coverage gaps.
Report site status, staffing, risks, and personnel matters to the Program Lead.
Coordinate with the customer site POCs on site-level administrative and operational matters.
Ensure site compliance with program, customer, and facility security requirements.
Maintain site documentation: rosters, access logs, onboarding/roll-off records, and site-specific procedures.

Here's what you need:

5 years experience owning site-level operations and personnel administration in a government/customer-facing environment.
Experience with personnel onboarding/off-boarding processes, including facility access and badging coordination.
Experience handling personnel issues and coordinating with HR/leadership on resolution.
Strong organizational skills to manage staffing, coverage, and compliance across a full site.

Bonus points if you have:

Prior experience as a site or facility lead on a similar cleared government program.
Familiarity with facility security/access control processes for cleared environments.
Experience directly managing or overseeing operational personnel.
Relevant certifications in security management, facility operations, or personnel administration.

Security Clearance:

Must have an active TS/SCI clearance with Polygraph
Must have a valid US Passport

About this role

# About This Role

This is a site leadership position at Accenture Federal Services' Atlanta location, where you would own all operational and personnel functions for an assigned site serving federal government clients. You'd be the single point of accountability for staffing, facilities, security access, and personnel administration—essentially managing the site itself rather than day-to-day shift work. The role sits above Supervisor and SME Supervisor positions, meaning you'd oversee their execution while handling the broader personnel lifecycle, compliance, and escalations. You'd report to a Program Lead and serve as the primary contact for site-level issues, customer coordination, and status reporting to leadership.

The work is Monday–Friday onsite with participation in an on-call rotation covering weekends and holidays, plus after-hours emergency coverage. Your core responsibilities span onboarding and off-boarding, badging and facility access coordination, personnel issue resolution in partnership with HR, staffing coverage management, compliance oversight, and documentation maintenance. This requires someone comfortable with administrative detail, personnel management, and the operational demands of a cleared government environment.

You'll need five years of experience owning site-level operations and personnel administration in a government or customer-facing setting, with demonstrated competency in onboarding/off-boarding, facility access processes, and handling personnel matters. An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph and valid US passport are required. Prior experience as a site or facility lead on a cleared program, familiarity with security protocols for cleared environments, and relevant certifications are valued. The salary range is $124,300–$245,300 depending on location and experience.
