REVENUE POLICY / ADMINISTRATION /CUSTOMS ADVISORS
GLOBAL ASSIGNMENTS

SCOPE OF POSITION: The U.S. Treasury Department Office of Technical Assistance is recruiting experienced professionals in Revenue Policy and Revenue Administration on a competitive basis for both resident and/or intermittent assignments under personal services contracts. This announcement is for Global Technical Assistance assignments. We are recruiting for assignments in Africa, Asia, and South and Central America and thus have specific interest in revenue policy or administration specialists interested in assignments worldwide. For purpose of this document ‘revenue' includes tax and non-tax revenues as well as customs compliance. Current assignments, for example, include Ukraine, Moldova, Haiti, Paraguay, Burma, Cambodia, Guatemala, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, Guinea Bissau, Niger, Zambia, and Tanzania. Intermittent assignments can normally be expected to range in duration from two to six weeks, but can also be resident assignments, in support of existing revenue projects. Applicants must be willing to accept global assignments requiring significant and often arduous international travel. Resident assignments, though few in number, may place advisors in a host country for one year or more.

QUALIFICATIONS: Treasury is seeking candidates who possess expertise in revenue policy or revenue administration, including customs administration. Revenue administration experts should have strong experience in any of the following areas of revenue administration: tax and revenue administration law, executive management, audit, internal audit / inspections, collection, customs, returns processing, tax forms design, taxpayer service and education, public affairs and media relations, human resources, training, and IT systems. Revenue policy experts should possess experience in any of the following: review, analysis and development of revenue and tax policy proposals; drafting and review of revenue laws and regulations; and the review and analysis of the economic impact of tax and fiscal policy changes and application of statistical modeling to revenue forecasting. Certain assignments require candidates to have significant project management experience, to include the ability to prepare project work plans, statements of work and manage human resources. Prior foreign technical assistance work and knowledge of a foreign language are highly desirable, but not required. There is a special interest at this time in individuals with both technical skills and bilingual fluency in Portuguese/English, Spanish/English, Russian (or Ukrainian)/English, and French/English. In addition to technical skills, we are looking for individuals with outstanding communication skills, capable of listening to the client and then providing effective oral and written responses.

Candidates must be U.S. citizens.
