Partner with Talent Acquisition to develop and post job requisitions, schedule interviews, track candidate pipelines, and shepherd contingent hires through onboarding. Maintain the staffing roster, badge and credential expirations (e.g., CAC, country clearances, passports), and proactively initiate renewals to prevent service disruptions. Compile and quality‑check administrative inputs to monthly and quarterly program reports (PSRs, QSRs, MSRs) and contract data deliverables; coordinate with the Program Manager and Contracts on timely submission. Process travel authorizations, trip reports, and expense reports; reconcile against program budget and flag variances. Coordinate procurement support for office supplies, IT equipment, and program materials in support of the in‑KSA team.
