Several positions may be filled from this announcement between now and the end of 1999. The U.S. Government is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The US Treasury Department provides technical assistance and policy advice to senior government officials in nearly 20 countries. It is possible that potential assignments will arise in other geographical areas as well. Successful candidates will be hired as personal services contractors for one to two year assignments.
Opportunities also exist for intermittent assignments of one week to several months.
We seek tax administration experts in all subject areas, including tax audit, collection, taxpayer relations and education, returns processing, as well as state and local taxation issues. Tax policy experts should possess experience in the review, analysis and development of tax policy proposals, in the drafting and review of tax laws and regulations, or in revenue estimation and the review and analysis of the economic impact of tax changes. Significant managerial experience, prior overseas work in challenging environments and knowledge of a regional language would be distinct advantages. While technical skills are essential, the ability to gain the confidence of the host country officials and the ability to provide sound but realistic advice in a developing market environment will determine ultimate success. Salaries will be negotiated based on the established market value of the position, not to exceed US government salary rates and demonstrated salary history.
