Disaster Recovery Grant Administrator - Reservist (On-Call)

ICF•Reston, VA

17d•$61,232 - $104,094•Remote

About The Position

When communities are impacted by hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, and other major disasters, recovery depends on more than rebuilding efforts. It requires strong financial stewardship, grants management, and compliance expertise to help ensure recovery funding is administered effectively and reaches the communities that need it most. At ICF, our Disaster Management team partners with federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local governments to help communities recover and rebuild. We support disaster recovery programs that restore essential public services, strengthen infrastructure, and help communities navigate complex funding requirements following catastrophic events. We are seeking experienced Grant Administrators to join our On-Call Reservist team and support recovery efforts across the country. This is a U.S.-based, on-call position that may require travel to client sites, field locations, and disaster recovery operations for multi-week assignments. Due to the seasonal or project-specific nature of our disaster and emergency management work, ICF hires professionals as "On-Call" employees. On-Call employees are scheduled for work as it becomes available, with the freedom to accept or decline assignments. Individuals may work on concurrent projects outside of their ICF assignments, provided there is no conflict of interest. For many professionals, this model provides the opportunity to contribute to meaningful disaster recovery efforts while maintaining flexibility and pursuing other professional interests. Please provide an updated resume that highlights experience relevant to the qualifications listed below, including grants management, financial analysis, auditing, insurance, disaster recovery, and federally funded programs, where applicable.
