ATSG is actively seeking candidates for a potential upcoming contract. This position is contingent upon award, and hiring decisions will be finalized once the contract is granted.

Position Description

The U.S. Department of State is the lead institution for the conduct of American diplomacy, and the Secretary of State is the President’s principal foreign policy advisor. The Department of State’s mission is to advance U.S. national security interests, fight terrorism, protect U.S. interests abroad, and implement foreign policy initiatives that build a freer, prosperous, and secure world.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) keeps Americans safe at home by countering international crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. INL helps countries deliver justice and fairness by strengthening their police, courts, and corrections systems. These efforts reduce the amount of crime and illegal drugs reaching U.S. shores.

INL’s Office of Aviation and Cross Border Programs (INL/ACB) leads the Bureau’s cross-border and cross-regional program management in the areas of aviation, counternarcotics, natural resource crimes, illicit finance and complex criminal investigations, and the International Law Enforcement Academies (ILEA). INL/ACB is responsible for working on these issues with various counterparts across the Department of State and within the U.S. interagency, including the White House, Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of the Treasury. In addition, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector also form key partners in INL/ACB efforts. INL/ACB manages and annual foreign assistance budget of over $150 million.

This position is located in the Cybercrime and Illicit Finance Branch of ACB’s Cross Border Programs Division. The Cybercrime and Illicit Finance team designs and implements programming to disrupt criminal networks that profit from cybercrime and illicit finance, with the goal of making perpetrators more visible and vulnerable to investigation, prosecution, and conviction. Programming strengthens legislative and regulatory frameworks; builds law enforcement, prosecutorial, and financial investigative capabilities; expands cross-border digital evidence sharing and cryptocurrency tracing skills; and enables coordinated international action to dismantle cybercriminal infrastructure and money laundering networks. These efforts are intended to increase arrests, prosecutions, convictions, extraditions, and asset seizures—directly reducing the threat cybercrime and illicit finance threat to American families, businesses, and critical infrastructure. INL/ACB works with other U.S. agencies—including DOJ, FBI, DHS, and FinCEN—as well as international organizations such as INTERPOL, UNODC, OAS, and the Egmont Group, to implement these programs. This position provides programmatic development and oversight to the INL/ACB Cybercrime and Illicit Finance Team projects.
