9. POSITION DESCRIPTION:

OVERSEAS MANAGEMENT DIVISION INTERMITTENT EXECUTIVE OFFICER/SPECIALIST

Executive Specialist/Intermittent Executive Officer, GS-0301-15 Basic Function of the Position:

The Executive Officer/Specialist shall serve as an Intermittent Executive Officer for a Tiger Team of experienced management professionals. The Executive Officer Specialist (from this point referred to as Intermittent Executive Officer) shall be required to perform extensive travel to USAID missions on an intermittent basis.

Major Duties and Responsibilities:

The Intermittent Executive Officer shall assist USAID Missions with the full range of administrative services including personnel management, procurement (GLAAS), ICASS, Travel (E-2) general services (leasing, non-expendable property [NXP], expendable property [EXP], etc.), records management, reviewing Mission EXO operations to identify management vulnerabilities, and work with Missions to correct vulnerabilities – including mentoring recently assigned DLI EXOs, and training FSN/PSC and US/PSC staff to increase their competencies and capabilities. The Intermittent Executive Officer shall be an expert and support Missions and their staffs by:

- Interacting with senior Mission management to implement Mission policies and procedures governing Mission operations, particularly where Mission-specific guidance is not developed.

- Consulting with Missions on their Executive Office procurement services, including GLAAS, insuring that procurement activities are in accordance with the FAR and AIDAR, and reducing vulnerabilities.

- Identifying problems in Missions’ current records management operations and designing training programs to develop the skills and competencies of staffs charged with these responsibilities.

- Reviewing General Services Operations (GSO), identifying weaknesses in Mission GSO operations, and recommending/taking remedial actions. Where the Missions receive services under ICASS, insure the highest levels of customer service are provided

- Insuring adequate controls are in place to track personal and real property and advising staff on the use of property management programs. Where Missions receive services under ICASS, insure the highest levels of customer service are provided

- Reviewing security programs in place, including radio programs, physical security of office buildings and homes, and warden systems.

- Insuring motor pool operations are adequate for Mission needs, and controls are in place to prevent misuse of USG vehicles and resources. Where Missions receive services under ICASS, insure the highest levels of customer service are provided

- Reviewing office space for adequacy of maintenance programs, safety, and health programs.

- Providing closeout support to Missions, including review of and input into closeout plans. (Closeout support may require lengthy TDYs during the final months of any Mission closeout.)

- Supporting start-up missions to set up Executive Office services.

- Identifying management vulnerabilities in Missions through formal Management Services Reviews, and providing hands-on support in correcting deficiencies.

- Assisting Missions in reviewing ICASS subscriptions, budgets, and other issues as well as reviewing OE budgets and procurement plans.

- Providing coverage during absence of assigned Executive Officers.

To the greatest extent possible, emphasis should be on training staff in Missions in the areas of EXO management, rather than just providing advice or service. In Missions with no USDH or US/PSC Executive Officer, the Intermittent Executive Officer shall provide TDY support to assure that EXO operations are running smoothly.

The Intermittent Executive Officer, from time to time, will be assuming the role of “mentor” to DLI EXOs, both Junior Officers (JOs) and Mid-Level Officers assigned to missions. Specifically, the Intermittent Executive Officer shall provide training and guidance to the DLI EXO in order to meet the following objectives:

· Improve and expand technical subject matter expertise in BS-03;

· Obtain an in-depth understanding of the EXO functions in relation to US foreign assistance delivery, concentrating on USAID’s structure and functions both internally and externally with implementers, host country governments and other donors.

· Experience and gain an understanding of the overseas work environment and institutional culture of USAID;

· Strengthen the officers’ inter-cultural skills both within the work place and the local environment;

· Expand the officers’ management and leadership skills; and

· Prepare the DLI JOs for their first assignment.

Performs other duties as assigned or required.

Knowledge Required by the Position:

Mastery of program principles, concepts, practices, methods, and techniques in order to apply new developments and theories to major problems not susceptible to treatment by accepted methods. Such knowledge may be achieved by an advanced degree in business, economics, or other relevant field, and five to eight years of relevant work experience. Expert knowledge of USG organizations serviced, generally consisting of a large number of subdivisions, and frequently involving satellites or different organizational levels (such as would be found in a significant organizational segment of an Agency, such as a USAID Mission, a Regional Office, or a Center). The functions performed by these organizations are diverse and usually include several major programs or functions. Interim Executive Officers at this level must have the ability to regularly negotiate with and advise managers at all organizational levels concerning improvements in the services provided.

Thorough knowledge of coordinating support services programs and functions within subordinate (or satellite) organizations and knowledge of the day-to-day direction of the services element in the immediate organization. In-depth knowledge of organization policy, and knowledge of periodic review procedures of the manner in which subordinate units support the work of their serviced organizations and the review procedures involved with taking (or recommending) action on the services programs of subordinate units.

Knowledge of and the ability to apply principles and practices of supervision and experience in supervising professional, technical, clerical, trades, and labor personnel, including first-line supervisors of such personnel. Must also have the ability to write clear and comprehensive policies, procedures, reports, directives, and correspondence; the ability to conduct fact-finding activities concerning a variety of subjects and to develop analytical and effective recommendations; and, the ability to plan, coordinate, and conduct special projects and programs reviews.

Knowledge of and skill in performing inter-personal communications demonstrating the ability to clearly explain and support conclusions, recommendations, policies, and procedures to all levels of personnel.

Supervisory Controls:

The Interim Executive Officer is expected to work with a high degree of independence. As a recognized authority in a wide variety of typical Executive Officer programs or functional areas, the incumbent has complete responsibility and authority to plan, design, schedule, and carry out major programs/projects, studies, or other work independently. The incumbent typically exercises discretion and judgment in determining whether to broaden or narrow the scope of programs/projects or studies. Completed work is reviewed primarily for potential influence on broad USAID and/or Mission policy and goals, fulfillment of objectives, or contribution to advancement of knowledge in the field, and is normally accepted without significant change. Recommendations for new activities are usually evaluated only for such considerations as availability of funds and other resources, broad Agency goals, or Mission priorities.

Guidelines:

Guidelines consist of broadly stated and nonspecific policy statements, statutes, court decisions, etc., that require extensive interpretation. The incumbent uses judgment and discretion in determining the intent of existing policy, and in interpreting and revising existing policy and regulatory guidance for use by others within or outside USAID and the Mission (e.g., other Executive Officers, technical subject-matter experts, USAID/Washington staffs, and host-country officials). The incumbent is recognized as an authority in the development and/or interpretation of guidance on Mission support activities and administration.

Complexity:

The work includes broad functions and processes found in USAID Executive Offices worldwide, including a wide variety of duties requiring many different and unrelated processes and methods applied to a broad range of activities, or intensive analysis and problem-solving. Assignments are characterized by unusual breadth, and normally involve several phases of the work being pursued concurrently with support from within and outside the organization. Decisions regarding what needs to be done include largely undefined issues and elements, requiring extensive analysis to determine the nature and scope of problems encountered. The work requires the Interim Executive Officer to establish new concepts, theories, or programs and considerable effort to resolve previously unyielding problems.

Scope and Effect:

The purpose of the work is to plan and carry out administrative programs that are vital to USG interests in the country of assignment and in the Region. The work involves determining the soundness of Mission management of programs and plans; developing and establishing new approaches and methods for use by the Mission of assignment and/or Missions throughout the Region; resolving problems that are critical to the accomplishment of important Agency objectives; providing authoritative advice and technical assistance to the Mission; or, developing or revising standards for use in developing and administering Mission programs. The Interim Executive Officer’s recommendations affect programs that are essential to the long-term mission of the Agency.

Personal Contacts:

The persons contacted include persons from outside USAID in a moderately unstructured setting. Typical of contacts at this level are those with persons in their capacities as contractors, attorneys, company executives, host-country officials, or representatives of other USG Agencies, professional organizations, or organized or ad hoc groups. This level may also include contacts with high-level Agency or program officials, several managerial levels removed from the employee, when such contacts occur on an ad-hoc basis.

Purpose of Contacts:

The purpose of contacts is to justify, defend, negotiate, or settle matters involving significant or controversial issues, often in situations where the people contacted have diverse viewpoints, goals, or objectives requiring the incumbent to achieve a common understanding of the problem and a satisfactory solution by convincing them, arriving at a compromise, or developing suitable alternatives. Typical of such contacts is negotiating important milestones or timetables; influencing or persuading others to use changed technologies about which there may be conflicting opinions; representing the Mission on highly sensitive and controversial topics; justifying the feasibility and desirability of plans or proposals that significantly affect Mission or host-government practices, etc.

Physical Demands:

The work is primarily sedentary, although some physical effort may be required, e.g., walking, standing, carrying light items such as manuals or briefcases, or driving or traveling by motor vehicle or aircraft.

Work Environment:

The work environment involves everyday risks or discomforts that require normal safety precautions typical of such places as offices, training rooms, and libraries. The work area is adequately lighted, heated, and ventilated. There may be occasional exposure to moderate risks or discomfort during country visits.

Minimum Work Per Year:

The work requirements under this contract will be part-time and can range from a few days to several months per assignment. All individuals selected for the position of Intermittent Executive Officer under the resulting contract will be guaranteed a minimum of one week of work per year. Work beyond this minimum amount is expected based on current demands from field missions; however, there is no guarantee that more than one week per year will be requested of any of the Intermittent Executive Officers.

Method of Assigning Work:

The method for assigning work to the OMD Tiger Team will be based on demand from the field. When a request for assistance is received by M/MS/OMD for the services of an Intermittent Executive Officer, an e-mail will be sent to all Intermittent Executive Officers giving the dates of work and a brief Scope of Work, requesting expressions of interest in the work. Intermittent Executive Officers who express an interest will have their CVs forwarded to the requesting Mission and the Requesting Mission will rank order their preference of Intermittent Executive Officers. OMD will contact the highest ranked Intermittent Executive Officer and will instruct s/he to contact the Requesting Mission to finalize the period of performance and the Scope of Work. Once the final dates are agreed upon between the Requesting Mission and the Intermittent Executive Officer, OMD will prepare the documentation necessary for modifying the contract and initiating travel.

EXECUTIVE ORDER ON TERRORISM FINANCING

The contractor/recipient is reminded that U.S. Executive Order and U.S. law prohibits transactions with, and the provision of resources and support to, individuals and organizations associated with terrorism. It is the legal responsibility of the contractor/recipient to ensure compliance with these Executive Orders and laws. This provision must be included in all subcontracts/subawards issued under this contract/agreement.

HOMELAND SECURITY DIRECTIVE – 12 (HSPD – 12) (SEPTEMBER 2006)

In response to the general threat of unauthorized access to federal facilities and information systems, the President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12. HSPD-12 requires all Federal agencies to use a common Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standard when identifying and issuing access rights to users of Federally-controlled facilities and/or Federal Information Systems. USAID will begin issuing HSPD-12 “smart card” IDs to applicable contracts, using a phased approach. Effective October 27, 2006, USAID will begin issuing new “smart card” IDs to new contractors (and new contractor employees) requiring routine access to USAID controlled facilities and/or access to USAID’s information systems. USAID will begin issuance of the new smart card IDs to existing contractors (and existing contractor employees) on October 27, 2007. (Exceptions would include those situations where an existing contractor (or contractor employee) loses or damages his/her existing ID and would need a replacement ID prior to Oct 27, 2007. In those situations, the existing contractor (or contractor employee) would need to follow the PIV processes described below, and be issued one of the new smart cards.)

Accordingly, before a contractor (including a PSC* or a contractor employee) may obtain a USAID ID (new or replacement) authorizing him/her routine access to USAID facilities, or logical access to USAID’s information systems, the individual must provide two forms of identity source documents in original form and a passport size photo. One identity source document must be a valid Federal or state government-issued picture ID. (Overseas foreign nationals must comply with the requirements of the Regional Security Office.) USAID/W contractors must contact the USAID Security Office to obtain the list of acceptable forms of documentation, and contractors working in overseas Missions must obtain the acceptable documentation list from the Regional Security Officer. Submission of these documents, and related background checks, are mandatory in order for the contractor to receive a building access ID, and before access will be granted to any of USAID’s information systems. All contractors must physically present these two source documents for identity proofing at their USAID/W or Mission Security Briefing. The contractor or his/her Facilities Security Officer must return any issued building access ID and remote authentication token to USAID custody upon termination of the individual’s employment with the contractor or completion of the contract, whichever occurs first.

The contractor must comply with all applicable HSPD-12 and PIV procedures, as described above, and any subsequent USAID or government-wide HSPD-12 and PIV procedures/policies, including any subsequent related USAID General Notices, Office of Security Directives and/or Automated Directives System (ADS) policy directives and required procedures.

This includes HSPD-12 procedures established in USAID/Washington and those procedures established by the overseas Regional Security Office. In the event of inconsistencies between this clause and later issued Agency or government-wideHSPD-12 guidance, the most recent issued guidance should take precedence, unless otherwise instructed by the Contracting Officer.

The contractor is required to include this clause in any subcontracts that require the subcontractor or subcontractor employee to have routine physical access to USAID space or logical access to USAID’s information systems.
