Overview  

Delivery Associates is looking to connect with talented and passionate individuals for an exciting role working with clients on projects across the Asia-Pacific region. We work in partnership with government, foundations and public sector partners on some of the biggest issues they face – climate, justice and equity, education and healthcare, data and innovation for public good.  

Job Description  

At Delivery Associates (DA), we work with leaders in the public sector to solve complex challenges, build consensus, and implement policies and programs that impact millions of people.

  • Manage work plans, timelines, and sequencing to support the successful delivery of fast-paced, high-impact public sector and non-for-profit projects.

  • Provide guidance and structure to team Associates and collaborate effectively across distributed teams.

  • Help clients monitor delivery progress with a mindset focused on urgency, pace, and adaptability.

  • Maintain strategic focus amid complexity, helping large coalitions stay aligned on priority outcomes.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
