STATEMENT OF WORK POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) is seeking highly motivated, highly qualified individuals who want the opportunity to help support rapid international transition programs for priority conflict-prone countries. Created in 1994 as a distinct operating unit within USAID, OTI helps local partners advance peace and democracy in politically-transitioning countries. In support of U.S. foreign policy, OTI seizes emerging windows of opportunity in the political landscape to promote stability, peace, and democracy by catalyzing local initiatives through adaptive and agile programming. Countries experiencing a significant political transition in the midst of a disaster or emerging from civil conflict have unique needs that cannot be fully addressed by traditional disaster relief. Timely and effective assistance to promote and consolidate peaceful, democratic advances can make the difference between a successful or a failed transition. OTI assists in securing peace by aiding indigenous, mostly non-governmental, civil society and media organizations. OTI uses such mechanisms as support for re-integration of ex-combatants into civilian society; development of initiatives to promote national reconciliation; identification of quick-impact community self-help projects to meet urgent economic needs; and aid to independent media outlets and community-based organizations to help promote informed debate and broaden public participation. To respond quickly and effectively and meet its program objectives and mandate OTI retains a group of high level professionals and experts under U.S. Personal Services Contracts (USPSCs). These knowledgeable and skilled professionals make up the vast majority of the OTI work force and are at its forefront implementing and achieving the office's programmatic goals and objectives. USPSCs are considered employees of USAID for all purposes except programs administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) - such as federally sponsored health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits. However, there are several other similar benefits that USPSCs may participate in, such as partial reimbursement for health and life insurance costs, as well as full coverage of workers' compensation, among other benefits. For more complete information on USPSC benefits, please see page 13 of this solicitation. For more information about OTI and its country programs please see: http://www.usaid.gov/political-transition-initiatives INTRODUCTION As part of USAID's Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA)/OTI Program Learning and Innovation Division, OTI's Program Office provides strategic guidance on country-level and office-level budgeting, strategy and program performance issues, and increases key stakeholder awareness of and support for OTI as a key instrument in carrying out U.S. foreign policy objectives. The Program Office maintains technical oversight of the Support Which Implements Fast Transitions (SWIFT) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC), the Support That Augments Rapid Transition (START) IQC, and the Programming Development Quickly (PDQ) IQC, and manages coordination of programming within the Foreign Assistance (F) framework. The Program Office plays a key role in country budget and program procurement planning and execution, managing implementing partner relations, and oversight of strategic communications and engagement. The Program Office also provides support to ongoing country programs through managing country budgeting decisions and allocation of resources, and setting standards and providing guidance on strategic planning, decision-making, and implementation. In addition, the Program Office provides reports on country activities for DCHA, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Department of State, and Congress. The Senior Transition Specialist must be an established subject matter expert in the field of political transition and/or stabilization programming overseas, and must be able to articulate OTI's vision and business model to a wide range of audiences including new OTI and USAID staff, implementing partners, other U.S. Government agencies, non-governmental organizations including non-profit and for-profit entities, host government officials, and various individuals and grassroots organizations overseas. The Senior Transition Specialist must possess an in-depth understanding of all aspects of political transition and/or stabilization programming, including grants under contracts and an understanding of in-kind assistance, to design (as necessary), advise, lead and achieve successful transition/stabilization programs. The successful candidate will possess the program, project management and budgetary skills to help ensure successful OTI country program start-ups, management, and closeouts. The complex demands of this position require that the incumbent be able to travel overseas with short notice, and be able to immediately respond to the challenging demands often faced by OTI programs. The proper execution of OTI programs requires a Senior Transition Specialist with a high level of managerial and operational skills, preferably having worked previously with/on both acquisition and assistance mechanisms. The Senior Transition Specialist must be prepared to work or collaborate with senior officials from other international organizations, bilateral donors, contractors and non-governmental organizations, and representatives from the USG foreign affairs interagency who may be important to OTI's programs and objectives, and must have an in-depth knowledge of international relations. The Senior Transition Specialist may also be required to supervise staff for a portion of or the duration of the contract, and is expected to lead, manage, motivate, mentor and train staff to ensure that they meet the requirements of their positions, effectively support OTI's mission, and are provided with professional development opportunities. 9.

In order to assist successful political transitions overseas in rapidly changing environments, the Senior Transition Specialist will ensure that OTI staff, implementing partner staff, and other key players have the information and training they need to start up new programs, seek out and work with appropriate beneficiaries in the field, and manage and closeout activities effectively and efficiently. The vast majority of the workload for this position will be in direct support of political transition program implementation. The work of the incumbent requires teamwork, the exercise of discretion, judgment, and personal responsibility. As a member of a highly visible and rapid response office, the position requires a willingness and ability to perform a wide range of administrative functions to help ensure programmatic success. The incumbent is highly flexible and the working conditions are subject to ongoing change, while maintaining professional and constructive relations with colleagues and authority in a diverse workforce.

The incumbent is service-oriented, highly organized and pays close attention to detail. He or she is a strategic thinker, articulates innovative ideas, presents solutions, and is a positive role model for colleagues both in and outside of OTI. The Senior Transition Specialist priorities are expected to change and evolve in accordance with the requirements of OTI and will be determined in consultation with the supervisor.
