- Participating in incident response activities by tracking tasks, managing communications, and ensuring situational updates flow effectively between response sections.
- Assisting with meeting coordination, including drafting calendar invites, conference details, weather slides, and operational briefings.
- Conducting quality reviews of call logs, operational data, and documentation to ensure adherence to CDC standards.
- Supporting training activities for OPS Branch staff and assisting with onboarding and supplemental resources.
- Providing flexible coverage across CDC's Atlanta campuses as directed by OPS Branch leadership, including weekend or holiday rotations when required.
What You'll Need to Succeed Required Education & Experience - Bachelor's degree and 2+ years of relevant experience, or 5+ years of work experience in lieu of a degree.
- Demonstrated experience in an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), watch desk, or public-health emergency-management environment (CDC or similar).

Technical Skills - Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
- Experience with EOC systems and communications tools such as ECLA, ERS, or similar databases preferred.
- Strong data entry, recordkeeping, and reporting skills with emphasis on accuracy and timeliness.
Soft Skills - Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
