Office Cleaner and Office Assistant

OVERVIEW

Fish Right—the United States’ flagship fisheries and maritime-security program in the Philippines—advances U.S. strategic interests in maritime domain awareness, alliance-building, and Indo-Pacific stability by countering illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, strengthening rule-of-law maritime governance, and improving the economic resilience of Philippine fisheries. To achieve these objectives, the program is implementing three mutually reinforcing lines of effort: community-based IUU fishing reporting, fisheries-focused marine scientific research (MSR), and fisheries investments and market integration. Policy, advocacy, and strategic communications serve as the cross-cutting enabler that links these lines of effort into a coherent whole-of-program approach. Together, these efforts are designed to strengthen Philippine government capacity to detect, verify, and respond to unlawful maritime activity; generate actionable evidence to inform policy, operational, and diplomatic decision-making; and promote more secure, competitive, and resilient fisheries value chains in priority areas. The Office Cleaner / Office Assistant is responsible for maintaining a clean, safe, and organized office environment while providing basic administrative and logistical support to ensure the efficient day-to-day operations of the office.
