At GDIT, people are our differentiators. We deliver clarity and capability in the moments that matter most.
General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) is seeking a Planning Coordinator - CDC Emergency Operations to join our team onsite at the CDC Roybal Campus in Atlanta, GA. This position supports the CDC's Division of Emergency Operations (DEO) within the Office of Readiness and Response (ORR).
Public health emergency preparedness is dynamic and constantly evolving. CDC's DEO leads and administers the agency's Emergency Management Program, enabling CDC to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a full spectrum of public health threats, domestically and globally.

Leading and assisting in the preparation, execution, and maintenance of Incident Action Plans (IAPs), Situation Reports (SitReps), Transition Activities, and Response Plans in alignment with CDC standards.
Supporting ongoing response plan development and updates to ensure readiness for emerging and evolving public health threats.
Providing structured report writing, data collection, and documentation to inform decision-making across leadership and response teams.
Coordinating with planning and operations staff to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable products during emergency activations.
Contributing to a high-tempo, mission-critical environment where precision, consistency, and effective communication are vital.
