What You’ll Be Doing

Cadmus’ International Development Division is actively seeking Grants and Subcontracts Officer candidates for its Economic Engagement and Private Sector Development team.

The Officer will report to the Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) of Operations for Asia Futures and provide grants and subcontracts support to Asia Futures across a large, complex USAID activity.   

The Asia Futures Activity is a 5-year, $150 million dollar project managed out of Washington. The contract is designed to bolster the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) regional policy objectives in Asia. It addresses the diverse challenges facing the region while providing USAID missions with a multidisciplinary tool to foster a resilient, equitable, and prosperous Asia, underpinned by strong democratic institutions. As USAID Asia Bureau’s accelerator and knowledge hub, Asia Futures will oversee both buy-ins and core funding for implementation. The activity grants USAID access to critical thought leadership, subject matter expertise, analytical support, and local relationships necessary for tackling interconnected issues related to economic growth, democratic governance, and resilience, particularly in the face of increasing health, climate, and food security threats.
