About the role

GAO is seeking an experienced attorney to serve as a Board Member of the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB) in Washington, DC. You will act as an Administrative Judge for employment and labor law matters affecting GAO staff. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of seven years of licensed practice, with demonstrated capacity to adjudicate complex disputes and manage a heavy caseload. This is a high-responsibility position requiring dedication and sound legal judgment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
