[Hiring] Compliance Support Officer @Jhpiego

Role Description

The Contracts Management and Compliance Division (CMCD) requires dedicated support to review risk and compliance to DOS’ Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance (PHFFA) Policy. This position is organization-wide and is not tied to any single project, award, or country program. The Compliance Support Officer will provide documentation and knowledge management support to CMCD in implementing and sustaining Jhpiego's compliance program, with particular emphasis on PHFFA and other USG award requirements. The role is coordinating and enabling rather than adjudicating: the Compliance Support Officer supports CMCD staff and legal counsel in the exercise of their compliance judgment and does not render legal or compliance determinations independently.

• Maintain the risk assessment inventory and track mitigation actions to closure.
• Organize and curate CMCD's internal Teams and SharePoint environments.
• Support the development, scheduling, delivery, and completion tracking of compliance training.
• Monitor U.S. Government sources for regulatory and guidance changes.
• Support sub-recipient due diligence and certification workflows.
• Prepare routine compliance reporting for leadership and for audit and monitoring readiness.

Qualifications

• Relevant degree or equivalent experience in international development, public administration, law, business administration, knowledge management, or a related field.
• 3-4 years experience supporting compliance, grants and contracts administration, risk management, audit, or a comparable function, ideally with USG-funded awards.
• Familiarity with U.S. Government assistance requirements (e.g., 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance, standard provisions, sub-recipient monitoring and flow-down obligations); familiarity with Department of State foreign assistance requirements is an advantage.
• Strong document control and information management skills.
• Experience building and maintaining trackers, registers, and dashboards.
• Ability to read regulatory and guidance material accurately and translate it into clear, plain-language summaries.
• Strong writing and editing skills; high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Ability to work across multiple offices, time zones, and cultures.
• Discretion and sound judgment in handling sensitive compliance information.
• Excellent oral and written command of English.

Requirements

• Maintained organization-wide compliance risk register and mitigation action tracker, with agreed update frequency.
• Current, well-organized CMCD Teams and SharePoint environment.
• Compliance resource library and navigation aids.
• Compliance document inventory and retention schedule.
• Training calendar, maintained training materials, and training completion records.
• Regular U.S. Government compliance update bulletin and dated guidance log.
• Sub-recipient due diligence, certification, and sub-award amendment status trackers.
• Recurring compliance status reports and leadership briefing materials.
• Inspection-ready documentation packages and mock inspection action logs.
