Rural Development is the USDA mission area that finances housing, utilities, community facilities and businesses in rural America through direct loans, loan guarantees and grants. Its programs are delivered through state and area offices across the country, backed by national office staff who manage the budget, finances and public communication of the mission area.
Recent listings have included a public affairs specialist, a supervisory public affairs specialist, a supervisory financial specialist, a management and program analysis officer and a budget analyst.
Applying tip: Rural Development announcements describe specialized experience in terms of loan and grant program administration, so even for public affairs or budget roles it helps to show familiarity with how federal credit programs work. Many positions are posted at the state office level, so check the duty location and the telework line in each announcement. Our program management guide covers the analysis and budget series that appear here.
