STATEMENT OF DUTIES 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. There are several 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 Section VI of this solicitation. For more information about OTI and its country programs please see: https://www.usaid.gov/stabilization-and-transitions Introduction The Senior Strategic Advisor position utilizes the vast experience and skills gained from working with political transition programs and operations in the field to provide expert-level support, guidance, and resources for program implementation, staff training and mentoring, assessments, and the development and application of lessons learned. While the Senior Strategic Advisor will be primarily supervised by the Chief of the Field Programs Division or his/her designee, the Senior Strategic Advisor may be supervised by any OTI team or division leader depending on his/her assignment. In order to help ensure successful political transitions overseas in rapidly changing environments, the Senior Strategic Advisor will ensure that OTI staff, implementing partner staff, and other key players have the technical support and training they need to start up new programs, seek out and work with appropriate beneficiaries in the field, and manage and close out activities effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, the Senior Strategic Advisor will play a key role in USAID�s transformation, and will work with OTI and Agency leadership in developing and articulating OTI�s role in the new CPS Bureau. The vast majority of the workload for this position will be in direct support of political transition program implementation.� In carrying out these responsibilities, the Senior Strategic Advisor engages with local partners (both government and non-governmental) in the country of operation, counterparts in Washington, D.C. and overseas at the State Department and USAID,� the National Security Council, Congress, and foreign and international donor organizations.� The Senior Strategic Advisor will provide regular guidance and leadership for the OTI FPD Management Team in Washington, D.C.
