Notice text
The Senior Acquisition and Assistance (A & A) Specialist serves as USAID/Madagascar's senior specialist and key advisor for all A & A matters. S/he directly supervises three (3) CCN staff members and is expected to mentor and further develop these employees' skills. As head of USAID Madagascar's OAA, s/he participates as valued member of the Mission's Senior Staff, should provide expert advice on how to leverage the tool of procurement to more effectively advance USAID's goals, and should identify opportunities to assist mission staff in improving their Contracting/Agreement Officer Representative (C/AOR) skills. The incoming Senior A & A Specialist will have the unique opportunity to actively engage in a new Country Development Cooperation Strategy and support the re-launch of the USAID environmental program after years of absence from that sector.
The Senior A & A Specialist is responsible for providing the full range of A & A services in support of USAID/Madagascar's foreign assistance objectives. S/he will be required to apply highly specialized A & A knowledge, skills, and abilities involving a variety of actions that range from simplified acquisition to complex multi-million dollar, multi-year awards. This includes providing support on all aspects of contract management relating to and affecting USAID assistance programs, policy and project planning, design, implementation, learning and evaluation.
The Senior A & A Specialist will receive on-sight supervision from the Mission Director. Policy guidance and technical oversight will be provided by the Regional CO/AO in Pretoria. As there is no CO/AO located in at the Mission in Madagascar, the Regional CO/AO has overall responsibility for USAID/Madagascar's procurements.
The incumbent is expected to work primarily in accomplishing the specific tasks as outlined below. Given the nature of the position, the Senior A & A Specialist will also be expected to respond to any changes in priorities that emerge during the contract period to provide efficient, timely, and effective services to the Mission.
