Our organization needs a variety of skillsets to be its best. We continually look for individuals in a broad range of fields, including finance and capital markets, information technology, corporate risk, community investment and member services, among others.
Our Equal Opportunity Policy confirms our commitment to the principles of equal opportunity in employment and contracting, as well as procedures for handling complaints of discrimination in employment or in contracting.
Interested suppliers and vendors must first register on FHLBank’s website. FHLBank’s Procurement Department will evaluate the information provided and determine if a match exists between FHLBank’s needs and a supplier/vendor’s capabilities.

FHLBank Pittsburgh strives to support a diverse supplier base by increasing contracts and spending with minority-, women- and disabled-owned businesses. To this end and pursuant to Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) regulations, we are required to insert a diversity statement into all contracts for goods and services with suppliers and vendors.
Additionally, we have a responsibility to avoid contracting with suppliers and vendors that pose a risk due to a history of fraud or other financial misconduct. The FHFA as our regulator has established the Suspended Counterparty Program, whereby the Agency may suspend an individual or entity from doing business with its regulated entities. This program further requires that we must insert a clause into all contracts, requiring that suppliers and vendors represent and warrant that they are not a suspended counterparty and that they will not become or contract with an individual or entity that is on the list while doing business with FHLBank Pittsburgh. The FHFA website includes more information about the program.
