Role purposeAssess U.S. export potential, equal competitive access, supplier capability, procurement pathways, local-content and standards barriers, market structure, and implementable actions for energy and critical-minerals opportunities.
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.
Important contingent-opportunity noticeThis posting supports a competitive proposal and is not an offer or guarantee of employment, subcontract, assignment, hours, travel, or compensation. Candidate rate requests are collected separately, if requested later, and do not determine Axyde's proposal pricing. Do not submit passports, green cards, Social Security numbers, export-controlled information, customer-proprietary material, or third-party confidential information with the initial application. Axyde will request only the written confirmations and secure evidence needed for proposal release and lawful engagement.
