To accelerate our pioneering and innovative work concerning financing and international development policy issues, we have created this new opportunity for an economic adviser with at least seven years’ experience in policy formulation and analysis in financing for development issues, gained at a management level within a government, international financial institution, research or consultancy organisation, preferably with developing country experience.
While our roles evolve along with changing mandates, broadening your experience and career horizons, your immediate remit will include work on the post-2015 financing framework; the global partnership for development; policy coherence for development; coherence between public and private finance; innovative finance; financing global public goods; international development co-operation; and transparency and accountability. Able to identify openings and develop strategies to build consensus on financing for development issues, you will also have an understanding of the constraints involved. The ultimate objective of our work is to ensure that international development policy is responsive to the needs of developing countries and promotes growth and development.
With a post-graduate degree in economics, or an aligned subject with a high level of economics or development content, you must have strong qualitative skills and a deep knowledge of complex international development policy issues. A lateral thinker, keen to learn and analytical, you must be able to work simultaneously on a range of issues, have outstanding drafting skills and a history of working constructively with colleagues, governments and international organisations.
We are the inter-governmental body of the Commonwealth, comprising 53 independent sovereign states, making tangible improvements to the wellbeing of 2.2 billion citizens. Join us and take a significant step on your own professional and career development path.
To be considered, you must be a citizen of a Commonwealth country.
