Duties

Due to the current events surrounding COVID-19, telework will be mandatory. When it is determined that EXIM will be moving to the reopening phase, the expectation will be to physically return to the office. Telework days and any waiting periods for eligibility will be determined at that time.

As required by Executive Order 14043, Federal employees are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 regardless of the employee's duty location or work arrangement (e.g., telework, remote work, etc.), subject to such exceptions as required by law. If selected, you will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and submit documentation of proof of vaccination by November 22, 2021 or before onboarding with EXIM, if after November 22. We will provide additional information regarding what information or documentation will be needed and how you can request a legally required exception from this requirement.

The Office of Global Finance Development (GFD) is dedicated to expanding and diversifying the agency's portfolio based on gaps left unfilled by private sector financing solutions. The office will be responsible for new international business opportunities and managing customer relationships with a focus on medium and long-term deals, especially in support of the agency's strategic priorities related to clean energy, Sub-Saharan Africa and the ten sectors identified by Congress as transformational export areas (artificial intelligence, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, wireless communications equipment, quantum computing, renewable energy, semiconductors, emerging financial technologies, water treatment and sanitation, and high-performance computing). GFD will be responsible for the strategic marketing of EXIM's programs and products to specific geographic regions and specified business sectors worldwide.

• Develops programmatic literature on EXIM financial service programs, product lines, business processes, and operating system infrastructure (i.e., working capital guarantees, export credit insurance, loan guarantees, and direct loans) for internal and public usage.
• Serves as a primary contact for key regions, industries, or export categories as needed. Educates clients in that area on the array of EXIM and other agency programs available to exporters and importers of U.S. equipment and services. Advises clients or potential clients on how to apply for U.S. government financing solutions, program requirements of that assistance, applicable fees, documentary and credit requirements of the appropriate policy and program structure. Works to ensure that qualified leads are followed up on in a timely manner.
• Provides guidance to clients regarding credit standards, country limitations, etc. from inception of a potential transaction until a well-structured and complete application is submitted to EXIM.
