U.S. Export, Supplier & Procurement Strategy Lead

Representative problems this role must solve

• A viable project may not create realistic U.S. export opportunity because specifications, financing, procurement, local content, standards, incumbent suppliers, timing, or sponsor practices restrict access.
• U.S. supplier interest is asserted but not supported by a disciplined product/service map and engagement evidence.
• A project requires procurement, packaging, financing, or TOR actions to create fair competition and measurable U.S. content potential.

Responsibilities

• Map project demand to U.S. goods/services, supplier segments, timing, standards, qualification, financing, procurement, and local-content requirements.
• Assess competitors, incumbent structures, market access, specification barriers, packaging, sponsor practices, and equal-access conditions.
• Design controlled supplier outreach, evidence capture, U.S.-supplier database inputs, and export-potential analysis.
• Translate barriers into TOR tasks, procurement/technical specifications, capacity building, financing actions, decision conditions, and measurable outcomes.
• Integrate with sector, finance, country, legal/regulatory, sponsor, and implementation specialists.

Minimum evidence-based qualifications

• Senior export development, international business, infrastructure procurement, supplier engagement, trade, project development, U.S. industry, or commercial advisory experience.
• Evidence connecting specific project demand to credible U.S. supplier participation and procurement/financing actions.
• Energy, mining/minerals, industrial technology, infrastructure, or emerging-market experience.
• Knowledge of competitive procurement, standards, qualification, local-content, financing, and market-entry barriers.
• U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, with written attestation required before proposal inclusion.
• Demonstrated senior/expert judgment supported by specific project, analysis, decision-product, or implementation evidence—not keyword familiarity alone.
• Ability to produce concise, defensible written analysis in English and work across technical, commercial, financial, safeguards, institutional, and implementation interfaces.
• Ability to become available for potential Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award, subject to assignment needs and Government direction.
• Willingness to disclose availability, employment/contract restrictions, confidentiality obligations, conflicts, noncompetes, country/customer limitations, and relevant intellectual-property constraints.

Evidence to submit

• Current résumé or CV with dates, employer/client, country, project stage, personal role, methods used, decision product, and outcome for the most relevant assignments.
• Two to four representative projects demonstrating the required expert judgment and decision-grade products.
• Countries/regions worked, languages used professionally, travel limitations, and current location.
• Licenses, registrations, clearances, certifications, publications, or standards experience when relevant to the role.
• Written permission for Axyde to use and evidence-preservingly reformat the résumé for solicitation 1131PL26R0056, subject to final résumé review if requested.

Application questions

• Are you a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident? State one; do not upload identity documents at the application stage.
• May Axyde use your name and evidence-preservingly tailor/reformat your résumé for this specific contingent proposal?
• Could you become available for required Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award? Identify restrictions.
• Identify current employment, contractual, confidentiality, noncompete, customer, country, or conflict restrictions relevant to this opportunity.
• Describe the strongest decision product you personally led or independently reviewed and the decision it supported.
• Describe one project where your work created or materially improved a credible pathway for U.S. goods or services.
• How did you distinguish general supplier interest from actionable project demand, timing, specifications, qualification, and procurement access?
• Identify the sectors, technologies, supplier communities, and countries where you have direct evidence or relationships, including any conflicts.
