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, indigenous partners advance peace and democracy in priority conflict-prone countries by providing fast, flexible, short-term assistance targeted at key transition needs. 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 local partners such as civil society groups (non-governmental organizations or informal community groups), local governments, private businesses, media groups, and others, through identification of quick-impact community self-help projects to meet urgent economic needs; development of initiatives to promote national reconciliation; re-integration of ex-combatants into civilian society; and aid to independent media outlets and community-based organizations to help promote informed debate and broaden public understanding and participation in their country's political process. To respond quickly and effectively and meet its program objectives and mandate OTI retains a group of high level professionals and experts under personal services contracts (PSCs). 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. The Bureau of Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance/Office of Transition Initiatives (DCHA/OTI) is an exciting, fast-paced, operational office in USAID. Program and Operations staff work as a team to ensure country programs are started, managed, and closed efficiently and effectively. For DCHA/OTI to implement its rapid response strategy, it is essential that OTI program funded USPSC staff are deployed and supported expeditiously and programs started quickly, often with little or no lead time. The Personnel and Operations Specialist position is a key position in a busy office which responds rapidly to crisis situations. It is essential that DCHA/OTI personnel receive prompt support. To achieve this, OTI requires a Personnel and Operations Specialist who has the capacity to work well within a team environment and anticipate the needs of a complex organizational unit. For more information about OTI and its country programs please see: http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/cross-cutting_programs/transition_initiatives/ INTRODUCTION DCHA/OTI's Operations and Management Division (OTI/OMD) in Washington provides OTI with an advanced level of operational and management support to help ensure ongoing and improved flexible, rapid response in political transition programming overseas. The Operations and Management Division is responsible for instituting, managing and streamlining office-wide systems, processes and procedures; as well as the creation of an enhanced response capability through dynamic teamwork, quick responsiveness, fiscal responsibility, quality control, and enthusiastic customer service. The division supports a world-wide majority program-funded workforce through two teams, a Personnel Support Team (human resources and personnel support for program-funded personnel), and Operations Support Team (finance, information and technology, and procurement tracking). The Personnel and Operations Specialist is integrally involved in all aspects of the award and maintenance of program funded staff that support OTI country programs overseas. The Personnel and Operations Specialist provides technical assistance to ensure a range of procurement actions are executed efficiently and effectively, with a particular focus on program-funded U.S. Personal Service Contractor (USPSC) employee positions worldwide. The Personnel and Operations Specialist supervises a small staff of USPSCs (currently two Personnel Assistants) and oversees the work of an institutional contractor providing USPSC contracts support. The Personnel and Operations Specialist works closely with the Human Resources Specialist for PSCs, reports to the Personnel Support Team Leader, and is supervised by the Chief, Operations and Management Division or his/her designee.
