Executive Assistant

The Celestar Corporation has been issued an IMMEDIATE Task Order to provide support to the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). As a result, we’re looking for an Office Administrator who will be seated in Washington, DC . SECURITY CLEARANCE: A Secret security clearance is required for this position; however, the Office Administrator can begin work with an interim Secret clearance. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE One (1) Year from the Date of Award with the potential for four (4) follow-on Option Years. BACKGROUND The U.S. Department of State is the lead institution for the conduct of American diplomacy and the Secretary of State is the President’s principal foreign policy advisor. The Department of State’s mission is to advance U.S. national security interests, fight terrorism, protect U.S. interests abroad, and implement foreign policy initiatives that build a freer, prosperous and secure world. The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) keeps Americans safe at home by countering international crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. INL helps countries deliver justice and fairness by strengthening their police, courts, and corrections systems. These efforts reduce the amount of crime and illegal drugs reaching U.S. shores. In December 2021, Secretary of State Blinken established the position of Coordinator on Global Anti-Corruption (CGAC) to integrate and elevate anti-corruption efforts at the Department of State. The Coordinator will be based in the INL Front Office (INL/FO) and represent anti-corruption equities across the Department. The Coordinator’s team will play a key role in guiding the Department’s implementation of the first-ever U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption; engaging on anti-corruption priorities with foreign governments, civil society, academia, the private sector, Congress, and the American public; and coordinating anti-corruption lines of effort both within the Department and externally with the interagency and other stakeholders. The requirements of these responsibilities have increased dramatically due to the Biden‑Harris Administration’s elevation of corruption as a key national security requirement under National Security Study Memorandum‑1 (NSSM-1). LEVEL OF EFFORT Hours for the position will be the core hours of the Department of State: Monday through Friday, 40 hours per week, 8 hours per day.

This designation does not guarantee telework privileges for the contractor employee; INL reserves the right to expand the requirement for in-person presence at the physical work location if the contractor employee is unable to successfully perform the duties and responsibilities of the position remotely.

Telework must be authorized in advance by the INL/FO on-site supervisor, INL Contracting Officer (CO), and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), in accordance with Department of State and INL policies.
