The Senior Financial Analyst (Level IV) supports the mission of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), which is mandated by Congress to promote and protect human rights, advance the rule of law, and hold governments accountable to their international obligations. DRL works globally to strengthen democratic institutions, combat corruption, and support civil society through strategic partnerships and federal assistance programs.

This position directly contributes to the oversight and financial integrity of grants and cooperative agreements awarded to NGOs, nonprofit organizations, and other entities advancing these objectives across multiple regional and thematic portfolios.

In this role, the Senior Financial Analyst IV performs advanced financial analysis, reconciliation, and reporting in support of complex, multi-appropriation funding environments, including congressionally earmarked funds. The incumbent applies a strong command of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to manage financial data across systems, support year-end closeout and mid-year reviews, and ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial records.
