International Activities & Research Partnerships Specialist (SME II)

Ocean science and atmospheric research do not stop at national borders — and neither do you. As the International Activities & Research Partnerships Specialist supporting NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) International Activities Office, you will serve as a critical link between NOAA's world-class research enterprise and the global scientific, diplomatic, and interagency communities that depend on it. You will prepare briefing materials for senior NOAA leadership heading into international meetings, synthesize complex information from across the OAR portfolio into actionable documents for government and foreign counterparts, track international travel and engagement across OAR labs and programs, and help develop and expand NOAA's relationships with the embassies, research institutions, and international organizations that advance shared scientific goals. This role is built for someone with the analytical depth to understand research priorities, the diplomatic instinct to navigate the international space, and the organizational discipline to keep a complex global portfolio moving without missing a beat.
