  1. STATEMENT OF DUTIES  

POSITION DESCRIPTION 

BACKGROUND 

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Bureau for Humanitarian  Assistance (BHA) is responsible for facilitating and coordinating U.S. Government (USG)  humanitarian assistance overseas in response to all types of international disasters, including slow onset disasters such as droughts or famine, natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods, or man made disasters such as conflict or war. BHA is responsible for planning, coordinating, developing,  achieving, monitoring, and evaluating international humanitarian assistance falling into two  conceptual areas: 

  • Humanitarian Response activities comprise needs-based humanitarian assistance provided  to save lives, alleviate suffering, and protect human dignity during and in the aftermath of  emergencies. Humanitarian assistance is grounded in humanitarian principles and is  directed toward the most vulnerable populations.  
  • Early Recovery, Risk Reduction, and Resilience (ER4) activities will set the initial  foundations for longer-term recovery as appropriate and will work in close conjunction  with humanitarian assistance. Early recovery is an approach that supports communities  impacted by crises to protect and restore basic systems and service delivery. Early recovery  builds on humanitarian response efforts and establishes the initial foundations of long-term  recovery. Early recovery activities are implemented for a specified, appropriate timeframe  that assists populations recovering from an identifiable shock. Risk reduction is the  prevention of new and reduction of existing disaster risk and management of residual risk,  which contributes to strengthening resilience and to the achievement of sustainable  development. Resilience is the ability of people, households, communities, countries, and  systems to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses in a manner that reduces  chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth.  

BHA has seven offices, as follows:  

The Bureau’s three geographic offices are: (1) Office of Africa; (2) Office of Asia, Latin America  and the Caribbean; and (3) the Office of the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. Each  geographic office designs, provides, and assesses humanitarian assistance for their respective  regions, including assistance related to responding to, recovering from, and reducing the risk of  man-made and natural disasters, while linking with other USAID investments that build resilience. 

The Office of Global Policy, Partnerships, Programs, and Communications (G3PC) shapes and  influences USAID’s role within the international humanitarian system; leads engagement on a  range of policy, programmatic, and operational issues; and positions the Agency to influence  collective response to emergency needs across the globe. 

The Office of Technical and Program Quality (TPQ) leads the Bureau's efforts to provide high quality programmatic and technical leadership, oversight, and guidance. In addition, TPQ leads 

4 | Page 

720BHA22R00038 

the Bureau’s external engagement with academia and coordinates research to advance the  effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of humanitarian and multi-year programming. 

The Office of Humanitarian Business and Management Operations (HBMO) is responsible for  maintaining 24/7 operability by providing leadership, planning, quality assurance, technical  expertise, and process management. HBMO ensures effective stewardship of the Bureau’s support  services, including workforce planning, staffing, financial management, internal controls, facilities  operations and infrastructure. 

The Office of Field and Response Operations (FARO) leads and manages operational assistance  and the purchase and delivery of goods and services in response to declared foreign disasters and  international humanitarian needs in key functional areas, including supply-chain management,  procurement, logistics, oversight, and operational coordination with the U.S. military. 

INTRODUCTION 

The Deputy Manager for Coordination (DMC) role falls under the purview of the Response  Coordination Readiness Team within the Global Capacity and Leadership Development Division  (GCLD) in the Office of Global Policy, Partnerships, Programs, and Communication (G3PC).  G3PC shapes and influences USAID’s role within the international humanitarian system; leads  engagement on a range of policy, programmatic, and operational issues; and positions the Agency  to influence collective response to emergency needs across the globe. G3PC directs the Bureau’s  leadership in global humanitarian policy, showcases BHA’s life-saving work through strategic  communication and information, and manages collaboration with external stakeholders, including  public and private partners, international and multilateral organizations, non-governmental  organizations (NGOs), and academic institutions, and the U.S. Interagency. Through the work of  the Response Coordination Readiness team, G3PC plays a leading role in coordinating BHA and  USG disaster response both in Washington DC and in the field.  

While the role falls under the purview of G3PC, the DMC will serve on a Response Management  Team (RMT). The RMT coordinates the USG response to a disaster and serves as the primary  liaison between the field Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs) and Washington, D.C.  The purpose of the RMT is to represent USAID, oversee Washington-based support, provide  interagency coordination of relief activities, coordinate within USAID and with partners, serve as  representatives for relevant USAID stakeholders to other federal officials, the media, and  Congress, as well as support DART field operations. The RMT gathers and analyzes information  from these various sources and evaluates the impact of strategic, political, budgetary, and other  issues on the response. The RMT helps to integrate these issues with the field-level approach  recommended by the DARTs to provide overall strategy recommendations to the BHA Assistant  to the Administrator (AtA). The RMT coordinates with other staff in BHA to determine the best  method to activate and coordinate resources, including funding, staff, commodities, and supplies. 

The RMT reports to the BHA AtA and is led by a Response Director (RD), Response Manager  (RM) and three (3) Deputy Managers (DMs), one each to supervise the activities of the Planning,  Coordination, and Operations sections. The DMC is a core position and a critical piece of the RMT  which leads on strategic engagement and coordination amongst the various stakeholders involved 

5 | Page 

720BHA22R00038 

in a response.  

OBJECTIVE 

BHA/G3PC requires the services of multiple DMCs to meet its objectives of providing  coordination proficiency in support of complex responses to various crises and disasters.  

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

While on an RMT, the DMC leads the Coordination Section and is the RMT’s main point of  contact for strategic coordination and engagement with external stakeholders. The success of a  disaster response will depend on the ability of the DMC to work collaboratively with a broad array  of stakeholders from the humanitarian landscape. The DMC must have a command of BHA’s  mandate and global humanitarian assistance policies and programs. He/she must also understand  how USAID, the National Security Council, the Department of State, and other USG departments  and agencies function in Washington, D.C. and overseas during a disaster response. In addition,  the DMC must have an advanced level of understanding of the international humanitarian  architecture and be able to provide skilled guidance to interagency colleagues on working with the  United Nations (UN) system, other public international organizations, NGOs, and donor  governments during a response. 

The DMC works closely with the DMs for Planning (DMP) and Operations (DMO) and the Press  Officer (PRO), all of whom report directly to the RM.  

The position requires the ability to translate field experience into policy recommendations.  Duties and responsibilities of this position are:  

  • Serve as the RMT’s primary point of contact for external stakeholders. ● Lead strategic engagement with external actors on behalf of the RMT, including the creation and coordination of appropriate messaging for non-media external stakeholders. ● Represent the RMT, as directed by the RM, the RD, or BHA AtA, at public meetings and events, interagency meetings, working groups, task forces, forums, calls, and donor coordination fora. 
  • As a deputy, maintain a comprehensive understanding of the overall response, including programming, operations, and any associated challenges.
  • The DMC may also lead the RMT and make decisions as delegated during periods when the RM is off-shift or unavailable.
  • Anticipate the needs of the response and prepare analyses, briefings, and documents as  required to respond to those needs. 
  • The DMC is expected to work in very close coordination with G3PC to ensure alignment  between country-specific engagement and BHA’s broader policy and institutional  relationships; and leverage existing institutional relationships with external humanitarian  actors on policy-level and strategic response issues. 
  • In coordination with the Planning Section, facilitate information sharing with external stakeholders; specifically, gather and share information from external meetings and 

6 | Page 

720BHA22R00038 

contacts and distribute to relevant RMT members, as well as connect external stakeholders  with RMT focal points and information products.  

  • In close coordination with the RMT PRO and RMT RM, serve as the RMT’s primary coordinator for Congressional engagement, liaising closely with the Bureau for Legislative and Public Affairs legislative officers on preparing information and responding to congressional queries. 
  • Coordinate written information—including briefers, talking points, and questions for the Record—for executive staff in coordination with other RMT members and other USG agencies and USAID bureaus and offices. Serve as the primary point of contact for the  USAID Executive Secretariat, in close consultation with the DMP.  
  • Develop strategic messaging for congressional testimony.
  • Serve as the primary resource for the RMT on background information on external stakeholders to inform planning, programming, and strategy development. ● Monitor response operations to identify current or potential external stakeholder coordination issues or concerns to be addressed by the RMT.  
  • Work closely with the United States Mission to the UN Humanitarian Advisors in New York, Geneva, and Rome to ensure they can effectively advocate and represent the response at external meetings. Specifically, keep advisors apprised of new developments  and respond to requests on a timely basis. 
  • Prepare USAID principals for participation in high level events, such as donor pledging conferences.
  • Monitor follow up to DART requests relevant to the Coordination Section, ensuring field needs are being met.
  • Manage special events hosted by the RMT or BHA, including high-level events, in support of the response. Manage other special projects, as assigned.
  • Manage BHA’s donations information program.
  • Manage, monitor, and assure completion of tasks with Coordination Section team members.
  • Supervise Coordination Section functional positions to maintain a unified USG response effort.
  • As needed, serve on DARTs which may require immediate (within 24 hours) deployment overseas for an extended period of time.
  • As needed, may serve on temporary details within the Bureau. Duties performed while on  detail will be aligned with the Team’s existing duties and responsibilities as well as directly  related to the statement of duties provided. 
  • Become certified and serve as an Agreement Officer’s Representative/Contracting  Officer’s Representative (AOR/COR), as assigned. The AOR/COR provides financial and  programmatic oversight of all aspects of managing the agreement or contract; this includes,  but is not limited to, reviewing invoices, requests for approvals, program/project  deliverables (i.e., work plans, annual reports, month status reports), travel requests, key  personnel requests, and financial/budget reports. They are responsible for drafting and  submitting the annual contractor performance evaluation in Contract/Assistance  Performance Assessment Review System. They prepare and review contract/assistance  modifications documentation and assist the Contracting/Agreement Officer to ensure  performance is compliant with the terms and conditions of the contract/agreement, the

  • Create, contribute to, and maintain a collaborative and effective team environment while  setting the tone and example for open communication and regular coordination; a work  environment conducive to mutual respect; clear expectations for performance; and clear  delegations of roles, responsibilities, and authority. 
  • Mentor team members to build technical and other professional skills which meet the  professional goals of staff and the needs of BHA. 
  • Create a culture of civility and respect whereby both managers and employees are expected  to behave professionally and cultivate a harassment free work environment at all times. ● Work with division and G3PC leadership to identify and address structural barriers to  

diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in and across teams and divisions in the G3PC  Office. Practice equitable supervision, task and project assignments, and leadership growth  potential to all staff. 

  • Consistently model behaviors that demonstrate a commitment to fostering a non-hostile  work environment free of discrimination, bias, unfairness, exclusion, offensive behaviors,  and harassment of any kind.
