Job Description GDIT and the U.S. Department of State are seeking a Deputy Team Chief to support chemical security and sanctions-related capacity building programs aimed at preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, expertise, and delivery systems. GDIT is partnering with the U.S. Department of State's Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) to support the efforts of the Chemical Security Program (CSP) and United Nations Sanctions Compliance Program (UNSCP) by managing and implementing counter-proliferation programs addressing evolving national security threats. The programs are currently working to counter threats from North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile pursuits, the Iranian regime's efforts to indigenize ballistic missile production and sale of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Russia, proliferator state chemical weapons efforts, and the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs of other proliferator states. Together, these two programs implement capacity building activities in more than 70 countries. GDIT is seeking to identify the next Deputy Team Chief for CTR's CSP and UNSCP teams. In partnership with the Team Chief, the Deputy Team Chief will manage, oversee, and provide strategic directions for these programs, ensuring that CSP and UNSCP are effectively addressing critical nonproliferation and counterproliferation priorities. The Deputy Team Chief will work closely with the Team Chief to lead and empower program staff to implement effective capacity building activities, while actively fostering their professional growth and development. The Deputy Team Chief role can be adapted to assist in leading one program or both depending on the selected individual's experiences, skills, and areas of interest. Program Summaries: CSP seeks to counter proliferator states' chemical weapons (CW) development, maintenance, and use by engaging key stakeholders to disrupt CW-relevant procurement activities, support U.S. efforts to bolster Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) implementation, including through the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and deter CW use through response and attribution.
UNSCP builds the capacity of foreign stakeholders to better implement UN and other international sanctions to disrupt North Korea's revenue generation activities that fuel its illicit nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and disrupt its illicit import of refined petroleum. UNSCP also seeks to disrupt Iran's ability to indigenously develop, produce, and export ballistic missiles and UAVs. Duties and Responsibilities: Routine duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to: Co-leading and providing strategic and programmatic guidance to a staff of more than 10 national security professionals on the CSP and UNSC teams.

Requirements: The candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree and a minimum of seven years' experience or a Master's degree and a minimum of five years' experience working on USG nonproliferation or counterproliferation programs.
