I just now ran across this opening for a grants manager at General Dynamics Information Technology. Did you know that the Office of Refugee Resettlement contracts these sorts of jobs out to what is known in Washington lingo as the shadow workforce? I guess it shouldn’t be so surprising since they contract out the care of the refugees as well. Anyway, here is the job if you’re in the market:
General Dynamics Information Technology is a top-tier IT integrator that provides information technology, systems engineering and professional services to customers in the defense, intelligence, homeland security, federal civil and commercial sectors. With 16,000 professionals worldwide, the company has the customer knowledge, domain expertise and proven performance to manage large-scale, mission-critical IT programs.
Manage all day to day activities for the matching Grant Program including 9 major national grantees with 237 affiliates in 43 states; conduct anlayses of Mathcing (sic) Grant program using previously desgigned (sic) systems for capturing performance data.
We’ve told you about the Matching Grant program here before. I guess this means that 237 of approximately 300 resettlement agencies participate in the collection of junky donations and the tracking of volunteer hours (how many volunteers know that their hours translate into cash from the feds to the resettlement agency?) that are transformed into cold hard federal tax payer cash using some method of creative bookkeeping. So, I guess this employee will be undertaking the “mission critical” tracking of the donated broken furniture and stained blankets. I wonder does he or she go out and inspect as well?
