James Bacon is a college student and political aide who currently serves as the Director of Operations of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. He was appointed by John McEntee. In his role, Bacon directs the office's vetting of PAS positions, as well as the vetting of "thousands of lower-level appointees".

Prior to his White House appointment, Bacon interned with the Trump Campaign and served on the post-election transition team.
