About The Position

ICF is seeking a Logistics Analyst to plan and coordinate travel, meeting, and event logistics for federal scientific peer-review panels, workshops, conferences, and program meetings. The role supports project managers and senior logistics analysts and serves as a participant-facing point of contact before, during, and after events. Its focus is meeting and participant logistics rather than materiel or supply-chain movement, and the position is contingent upon contract award. The Logistics Analyst determines and coordinates requirements for small- to moderate-size in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Responsibilities span site selection, participant communications, transportation and ticketing, lodging, per diem, honoraria, reimbursements, meeting materials, and event execution. The analyst maintains accurate records, responds to participant needs, and works with senior logistics staff, project managers, and government stakeholders to keep activities on schedule. Work may take place at an ICF or other contractor facility, a rented facility, or a client site in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, depending on program needs. Domestic travel, including overnight travel, and on-site event support may be required. The role does not require a classified security clearance, but requires successful completion of a federal background investigation and obtaining and maintaining a Personal Identity Verification credential for required facility and system access.

Requirements

High school diploma or GED and 5 years of meeting and conference planning and support experience, or a college degree and at least 1 year of meeting and conference planning and support experience.
Willingness and ability to travel domestically, including overnight travel, and provide on-site event support when required.
Successfully complete a federal background investigation and obtain and maintain a Personal Identity Verification credential for required facility and system access.
Strong organizational and time-management skills, with attention to detail when managing assignments, schedules, participant information, travel documentation, payment records, trackers, and event files.
Clear and professional written and verbal communication, with a strong customer-service orientation when working with reviewers, panelists, travelers, vendors, government stakeholders, and delivery teams.
Working knowledge of Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365 tools used to maintain correspondence, spreadsheets, schedules, and status information.
Sound judgment and discretion in resolving routine logistics issues, escalating exceptions, and handling confidential, financial, personally identifiable, or pre-decisional information.
