The USAID Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) seeks US citizens for personal service contracts as Transition Advisors/Senior Transition Advisors. These positions require extensive overseas travel and short-notice deployment for rapid international transition programming. Advisors will support OTI's work in conflict-prone countries with political transition assessments, startup aid, and implementation support. Offerors must specify whether they're applying for the GS-13 or GS-14 position, or both. The contract has a one-year base period with four one-year extensions, and holders will receive benefits and workers' compensation. Applications close on September 23, and the basis of rating includes selection and evaluation factors, with the most qualified candidates invited for interviews. OTI aims to fill these roles efficiently and may forgo interviews if there are no competitive offerors or selectees demonstrate exceptional qualifications.
