How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your hourly rate, weekly hours and start time, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~80–400 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you'll do

Assess whether a proposed activity is genuinely a host-country and sponsor priority
Map the financing routes realistically available to a project and what each requires
Identify where U.S. suppliers are foreclosed by specification, financing or an existing arrangement
Prepare and run in-country engagement — ministries, regulators, sponsors and embassy commercial staff

Required qualifications

Direct experience with donor-funded, development-finance or export-promotion programs in emerging markets
In-country or regional working experience, not solely headquarters
U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

USTDA, USAID, DFC, EXIM, MCC, World Bank, IFC or ADB experience
Southeast Asia, South Asia, Pacific Islands, Europe/Eurasia or MENA
Energy, critical minerals or digital infrastructure sectors
Experience preparing terms of reference or project appraisal documents

Compensation & structure

Hours are funded by federal contract awards — this seat is scoped at roughly 80–400 hours per funded award, fully remote.
