Duties

Help

The following are the duties of this position at the GS-15. If you are selected at a lower grade level, you will have the opportunity to learn to perform all these duties and will receive training to help you grow in this position.

The employee will serve as an attorney in the Office of the Assistant General Counsel, International Affairs (OGC/IA), which is a component of the Department of the Treasury's Office of the General Counsel. The employee will assist the Assistant General Counsel (International Affairs) and the Deputy Assistant General Counsels (International Affairs) in providing legal support to the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, and the Assistant Secretary for Investment Security. In particular, the employee will work on matters relating to CFIUS, a nine-agency committee chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury that is tasked with reviewing certain foreign investments to prevent threats to U.S. national security. This work involves advising on specific foreign investment cases, including assessing CFIUS's jurisdiction to review particular transactions, negotiating national security agreements, and preparing committee recommendations to the President. It may also involve advising on monitoring and enforcement of national security agreements, including the assessment of penalties, issuance of subpoenas, and development of mitigation solutions, revision and development of the CFIUS regulations, and policy development and engagement with foreign partners.

The employee is also likely to work on national security matters related to outbound investment, including the implementation of the new regulatory framework established pursuant to Executive Order 14105.

The employee may also work on other OGC/IA matters, which include the full range of issues handled by Treasury's Office of International Affairs, such as issues related to international trade and investment, international banking and securities, U.S. engagement with the World Bank and other international financial institutions, the International Monetary Fund, currency, sovereign debt, and regional economic and financial matters such as those involving China, the Middle East, or Europe. Such work includes advising on, for example, international law and its intersection with U.S. law, rules and laws governing international financial institutions, foreign assistance, U.S. trade and investment agreements, participating in the negotiation of international agreements and implementing instruments, drafting legislation and executive orders, preparing legal memoranda, coordinating with the U.S. Department of Justice in the event of litigation, and a wide range of other matters.

The job demands excellent legal analysis, writing, and communication skills, including the ability to parse complex corporate transactions and draft novel contract, regulatory, or enforcement solutions. We are particularly interested in candidates who have backgrounds in CFIUS law, corporate law, national security law, international law, enforcement law, or rulemaking development.
