DFC Acquisition office has a requirement for Personal Services Contractors (PSC) for up to two (2) full-time equivalent Loan Monitoring Officers.

This solicitation will only be open to individual applicants. The PSC shall be a sole proprietor who will have an employee-employer relationship with the DFC.  The level of effort and responsibility is generally equivalent to a GS-13, Step 1 through GS-14, Step 10.

Work involves providing personal services as a senior officer - reporting to the Financial Institutions & Capital Mobilization Division (FICMD) Managing Director (MD) – and managing an assigned portfolio of the most complex, sensitive, precedent-setting loans to financial institutions (FIs), non-bank financial institutions (NBFI's), microfinance institutions (MFIs), microfinance investment vehicles (MIVs), as well as credits through intermediated Loan Guaranty Facilities (LGFs) and Frameworks. The PSC shall be responsible for his/her assigned portfolio from the time of its transfer from the loan originations departments (or from another officer) until the final repayment or recovery of the loan.  In the fulfillment of these responsibilities, the PSC may perform this work alone or in combination with more junior or senior FICMD officers, as directed by the MD. The PSC shall provide assistance, support and back-up to the MD, or any other FICMD officer as designated by the MD.

Under the direction of the MD, the LMO will be responsible for managing and overseeing all tasks required to effectively monitor and credit-manage each loan and loan guarantees in his/her portfolio.  Duties typically include funding DFC-approved credits, on-going monitoring of FI/NBFI/MFI/MIV/LGF/Framework loan transactions (as more fully described below), and negotiating, structuring, obtaining approval, and documentation closing on restructurings. Additionally, the incumbent shall, at the direction of the MD/FMD, provide support in effectively managing loan write-downs that may involve handling of assets to mitigate losses to DFC. Work involves coordinating major financing for international projects, including providing advice and staff support on planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating issues related to credit, risk and DFC policy. At this level, the incumbent provides critical support in business development, analysis of issues, and negotiating with other US agencies, private consultants, or foreign governments on language in documents to which the USG is or will be a signatory. Periodic travel may be required to conduct work in any DFC country.
