As a USAID contract employee, the incumbent has the responsibility of understanding and incorporating the Agency’s core values in all aspects of his/her work. The incumbent will work at a senior level in a highly visible, complex, and inter-agency-managed foreign assistance program that demands a wide range of public health, development and HIV/AIDS technical knowledge and skills.

Given the integrated nature of HIV/AIDS programming, the position will require a significant emphasis on interagency collaboration, establishing strong working relationships with the GOT, and maintaining linkages with civil society and the private sector. Donor collaboration is a vital function of the position. It will be essential for the incumbent to demonstrate strong technical and management skills, complemented by outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
