Background:
This position is located in USAID’s Bureau for Inclusive Growth, Partnerships, and Innovation (IPI), in the Innovation, Technology and Research (ITR) Hub, which leads USAID in experimentation and innovation to transform development. The ITR Hub leverages the promise of innovation, technology and research to bring about positive change and solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
We partner with USAID Missions, entrepreneurs, small businesses, researchers, universities, technology companies, government, civil society, faith-based organizations, and development professionals to keep the Agency on the forefront of science and technology, incorporate breakthrough innovations, and apply the best tools to emerging priorities.
In taking smart risks to transform development, we are:
ITR’s collaborative approach supports USAID’s mandate to be on the forefront of science and technology, incorporates breakthrough innovations into our programs and policies, and applies the latest tools, like artificial intelligence and evidence-based approaches to development priorities, countering malign influences and engaging new private sector partners.

This mandate is pursued through diverse engagements with internal and external stakeholders (across USAID, the U.S. Government, and stakeholders beyond the USG). This mandate places special emphasis on strengthening the resilience of digital ecosystems in the face of diverse threats, and also ensuring these ecosystems develop in a manner that promotes (rather than undermines) empowerment, agency, equity, and equality for underserved communities and women.
The Digital Finance team’s vision is to advance empowerment, resilience, well-being, and equity for underserved communities by fostering the development of open, inclusive, and secure digital finance ecosystems and economies worldwide. The team works toward this vision by focusing on two objectives:

The incumbent will work with implementing partners as part of a team under the guidance of team lead, A/CORs and Senior Activity Managers, where appropriate, to build internal and external relationships and monitor and support progress toward completion of programmatic goals. The incumbent supports various components of programs and teams which may involve communications and outreach, program coordination, selection process, grant management, M&E, and engagement. The Program Analyst I will be expected to perform analytical-type tasks such as collecting, compiling, and analyzing data for various program documents, designing and maintaining spreadsheets in support of financial tracking systems, and drafting reports and communications content such as blogs and case studies on digital finance content.
