In addition to his CPO duties, Zients will also serve as Deputy Director of Management at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The agency's director, Peter R. Orszag, officially welcomed him [2]on OMB's website and listed a few of the challenges that Zients will face: government hiring and retention practices, contracting reform, program evaluation, and e-government. This is Zients' first job in government.
