This announcement is for global technical assistance assignments. We are recruiting for assignments in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South and Central America. We thus have specific interest in specialists willing to accept assignments worldwide. Current country assignments include North Macedonia, Ukraine, Moldova, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Namibia, Kenya, Madagascar, Cabo Verde, and Sri Lanka. Short-term assignments normally consist of a series of trips of two to three weeks each. In addition to intermittent assignments, there may be a limited number of resident assignments, which place advisors in a host country for one year or more. Applicants must be willing to accept often arduous international travel. QUALIFICATIONS: Treasury is seeking candidates who possess expertise in one or more areas of revenue administration, both tax and customs administration. Required qualifications: For tax administration experts, a minimum of ten years� experience, to include one or more of the following complex and specialty areas: tax audit (including computer assisted audit, audits of large and multinational companies, issues involving international tax, transfer pricing, financial products, financial instruments such as cryptocurrencies, and other specialized sector audit experience), dispute resolution, compliance risk management, returns and payment processing, collection/debt management, taxpayer service and education, and tax fraud.

Additional complex and specialty areas applicable to both tax and customs administration experts, requiring a minimum of ten years� experience: Expertise in human capital management, including organizational design, performance management, and training and development is also sought. Criminal investigation, internal audit / inspections and anticorruption program development skills are needed. Preferred qualifications for either tax or customs administration experts: Increasingly automation and Artificial Intelligence applications are being used to handle routine tax and customs administrative issues and applicants should have an awareness of the implications for revenue administration. OTA is encountering growing demand for tax and customs technical support for digital revenue initiatives (AI tool integration, cybersecurity, and new information system implementation.) Experience in designing, implementing and applying these tools for tax, customs, or related administrative activities is needed. Leadership skills and experience in developing and implementing major reforms including strategic and operational planning and managing change are valuable as well. Certain assignments require candidates to have significant project management experience, including the ability to prepare project work plans, statements of work and manage human resources. In addition to technical skills, we are looking for individuals with outstanding communication skills, who are especially effective at assessing client needs and then providing effective oral and written guidance. Prior foreign technical assistance work and knowledge of a foreign language are highly desirable but not required. Recent experience working at large State level tax agencies, Internal Revenue Service, Customs and Border Protection or major accounting firms is highly desirable as well. Candidates must be U.S. citizens.
