Job Description
World Bank Senior Operations Officer Vacancy in New York for 2025. Apply Now! IFC a member of the World Bank Group is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. It works in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Their mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.
IFC’s Corporate Strategy Unit (CSMCS) is one of four units in the Strategy and Operations Management Department (CSM), reporting to the VP of Corporate Support (COSVP). CSMCS helps ensure a consistent focus on strategy and provides a broad range of expert support to management and operations. It coordinates with stakeholders across IFC and the WBG to formulate and implement IFC strategy and help ensure that strategic alignment is embedded across operations to help drive results.
The FCS/IDA Coordination Unit within CSMCS focuses on (i) IFC strategy development and articulation of engagement in IDA and FCS, (ii) coordination of IFC’s strategy implementation and tool development, (iii) thought leadership and knowledge management and is the corporate interlocutor to the WBG FCV Group, including with respect to the World Bank Group (WBG) Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) Strategy 2020-25. Forced displacement has become one of the top priorities in the global development agenda and a key engagement area for IFC. Of the currently approximately 123 million forcibly displaced persons, most are hosted in developing countries with limited resources and capacities to respond—causing a strain on both host communities and challenging conditions for the displaced. To respond to this urgent development challenge IFC is working on identifying and implementing innovative solutions to scale up engagement in support of forcibly displaced and their host communities by leveraging private sector-led solutions, including through key partnerships such as the multi-party partnership between the Government of the Netherlands, IFC, World Bank, ILO, UNICEF, and UNHCR (“Prospects Partnership”), and the Joint IFC-UNHCR Initiative. The FCS/IDA unit looks after the FDP agenda at a corporate level and as part and parcel of the FCV Strategy.
