GDIT is seeking the expertise of a Program Coordinator in CTR at Department of State headquarters.

Job duties include developing, implementing, and coordinating the conduct of nonproliferation capacity-building efforts in partner countries in order to counter the nuclear and missile threats posed by North Korea, Iran’s ballistic missile programs, and other select proliferation threats.

In support of national security policy, CTR conducts capacity-building in assistance-eligible partner states that aims to strengthen government and private sector compliance with international prohibitions on activities that fund or equip WMD programs, e.g., the UN Security Council-imposed sanctions regime treating North Korea. CTR’s UN Sanctions Compliance program engages partners in the Asia/Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and selected states in the Americas. CTR’s programmatic efforts evolve in response to the
