Jason Parman

Jason Parman serves as the HR Strategy Group Manager for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) HR Solutions organization. In this role, Jason directs OPM’s strategic human capital consulting services nationwide, delivering customer agencies “the best strategies today for the best workforce tomorrow.” He previously served OPM as an HR consultant, director of OPM’s Midwest Services Branch, Western Group Manager, and nationwide program manager for Workforce & Succession Planning. Prior to his federal service, he worked in human resources for Tracker Marine, the world’s largest manufacturer of fishing boats.

Jason received his undergraduate degree in psychology from Missouri State University, and earned his Master of Business Administration degree in Information Technology Management from Touro University.

Jason has spoken in 44 states and counting on such diverse topics as Federal job search strategies, organization design, leadership development, succession planning, veterans’ preference and federal hiring flexibilities. He even starred in OPM’s blockbuster release of “What Vets Need to Know about Vet’s Preference,” which resulted in over 100,000 DVDs distributed (but, surprisingly, not a single autograph request).

When not at work, Jason enjoys spending time with his most important human resources—wife Lynn and 13 year-old daughter Riley. He previously held 1/1683rd of a Guinness World Record, has released a country music album (he hopes for a gold record one day, but probably will never even make it to aluminum), and is the caretaker to a 10 lb. poodle named Tiberius (who may be a ninja.)
