The Pre- and Post-Award Specialist must have excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail, and superb organizational skills.
In collaboration with the SECOORA management team, the Pre- and Post-Award Specialist will develop and execute comprehensive strategies for full life-cycle grant management. This will include managing grant proposal development, specifically grant budget development and individual Principal Investigator (PI) grant budget reviews, subaward and contract development, and award tracking.

The Pre- and Post-Award Specialist is a 6-month contract position which will work an estimated 20-30 hours per week, with workloads varying based on grant cycles. After the 6-month period there is the potential for an extension if all parties agree. Compensation is between $45.00 – $50.00 per hour, depending on experience.
The Pre- and Post-Award Specialist will manage multiple grants with multiple subawardees and contracts per grant and is responsible for timely follow-up and day-to-day financial actions as needed. The Pre- and Post-Award Specialist must be able to interpret funding requirements, policies, and practices for SECOORA staff, PIs, and contractors and provide support on new information regarding funding increments, reporting deadlines, fiscal issues, and compliance.
The Pre- and Post-Award Specialist is responsible for monitoring accounts to ensure compliance with Cost Accounting Standards (Federal), must be able to act independently to make decisions and authorize actions throughout the life of the project (e.g., award extensions, allowability of expenditures).
