GOVERNMENT DEBT ISSUANCE AND MANAGEMENT ADVISORS
EMERGING MARKETS - WORLDWIDE
The U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Technical Assistance (OTA) is recruiting individuals on a competitive basis to serve as resident (long-term) and/or intermittent (short-term) advisors, under personal service contracts, in the Government Debt Issuance and Management Program.
The Treasury program provides technical assistance and policy advice on sovereign debt matters in an emerging market environment to senior ministerial and central bank officials, as well as to market participants in host countries. Resident assignments are generally for one year and are likely to be renewed. This recruitment is for global assignments and international travel is required.
Qualifications: Applicants should have minimum of 10 to 15 years of experience in domestic government debt issuance and/or management of public borrowing. A background in public finance, private sector investment banking, public sector financial advisory work, government securities trading, state and local government securities underwriting, issuance and sales, securities and/or Treasury operations, or in related areas, would constitute relevant experience. Knowledge of international bond markets is desirable.
Prior overseas work experience in a challenging environment and management experience are also highly desirable. Spanish fluency is required for posts in Latin America and French fluency is generally required for francophone countries. While having requisite technical skills and a background in and knowledge of public finance/government securities are highly important, candidates must also have the desire and ability to work independently and the ability to gain the confidence of host government officials and counsel them about policy choices and their consequences. Advisors are expected to provide sound but realistic technical assistance in the debt management area that will enable emerging countries to strengthen and develop their economies.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens or U.S. resident aliens.
SALARY AND BENEFITS: Salaries will be negotiated in accordance with program regulations based on demonstrated salary history. The salary ranges are from $124,995 to $167,000, subject to January 1, 2015 cost of living adjustments (COLA). Overseas benefits are provided as allowed by federal regulations.
