About the Job

The Sexual Harassment / Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Office (SHARP) Case Manager will implement CIA’s Sexual Harassment / Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SHARP) program in their assigned area of responsibility (AOR) via case management, supervision of victim advocates, and workforce training. Duties include conducting ongoing assessments of the consistency and effectiveness of the SHARP program; identifying program needs and challenges; and communicating with Agency leadership regarding recommendations and updates.

As a case manager, you will be responsible for facilitating care and support for sexual harassment and sexual assault victims in your assigned AOR, as well as maintaining documentation of victim and incident case information, subject demographics, and disposition, in accordance with regulatory and policy guidance. You will liaise with relevant internal and external stakeholders to facilitate a coordinated team approach in sexual assault cases. This includes participating in regular Case Management Group meetings to ensure all unrestricted reports of sexual assault in the AOR are presented and that the needs and concerns of the victim are met and shared with appropriate authorities. In cases of alleged sexual harassment, you will inform victims of all available SHARP services; ensure a warm handover to the appropriate office to file formal reports as needed; and document and retain all reporting forms in accordance with CIA requirements.

This is a supervisory position, and you will be responsible for directly supervising victim advocates (VAs) as they support victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault across the CIA. This supervision includes monitoring and tracking staffing requirements; explaining performance expectations; providing regular feedback to VAs; identifying employee development needs and encouraging self-development; addressing potential disciplinary or performance issues in a timely manner; and ensuring staff receives appropriate on-the-job and/or formal training to meet job requirements, including completion of the National Advocate Credentialing Program (NACP).

This position also requires you to plan and/or facilitate sexual harassment and sexual assault response and prevention training for different audiences to include care providers, managers, and the broader workforce. As part of these efforts, you will also ensure VAs and other SHARP personnel are properly trained to provide briefings related to reporting procedures, available victim support services, and other critical topics.
