Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

The IMF is inviting applications from experienced macroeconomists to join the Mid-Career Pipeline – a pool of ready-to-hire candidates who are eligible for internal macroeconomist vacancies across the Fund.

As an IMF macroeconomist, you will:

• Join one of the largest groups of economists focused on macroeconomics anywhere in the world.

• Be involved in macroeconomic analysis and structural reforms and contribute to broader analytical work in various regions across the world.

• Play a leading role in several sectors and policy areas, draft country specific documents, and conduct analytical work to inform policy advice.

• Work in dedicated teams at our headquarters in Washington DC to build collaborative relationships with colleagues across the IMF, as well as with key institutions, authorities, and leaders around the world to develop creative solutions to evolving global economic challenges.

The Fund is continuing to deepen its engagement on macro-critical policy areas, and we are particularly keen to hear from macroeconomists with expertise in digital money, gender, inclusion, and good governance. We also welcome applications from economists passionate about working on Low Income and fragile and conflict-affected states.

Eligibility:

We are seeking experienced macroeconomists from around the world who have:

• An advanced degree (Masters/PhD) in macroeconomics or a related field such as monetary economics, financial economics, public finance, international trade, or econometrics. Specific requirements are:
  • PhD with three to ten years of relevant professional work experience; or
  • Masters degree with seven to fourteen years of relevant professional work experience.

• Relevant professional experience at the national and regional levels in macroeconomic policy, fiscal policy, quantitative techniques, and country surveillance, usually gained in a central bank, ministry of finance, or international financial institution. Experience in a research institute or academia is also acceptable if it is combined with some exposure to macroeconomic policy making.

• Demonstrated proficiency in quantitative modeling and econometrics to support analysis and policy formulation.
• Strong interpersonal, communications and writing skills, and the ability to deal effectively and diplomatically with member country authorities.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English is essential. Working proficiency in Arabic, French, Portuguese, or Spanish is a plus but not required.

Selection Process:

An initial screening will be conducted based on your application and supporting documentation. Screened candidates will be invited to participate in a short video interview through the HireVue platform which will be used to shortlist candidates for a preliminary interview. Based on the preliminary interview outcome, candidates will be invited to participate in final assessments comprising a panel interview, written test, and technical presentation.

Candidates who are currently residing in ASEAN+, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the MENA+ regions are encouraged to apply through the relevant job advertisements targeting the respective region. Duplicate applications to this and a regional advertisement are not required. (Specific regional advertisements will be posted subsequently throughout the month of September.)

We are keen to hear from adaptable, talented, and technically competent candidates. Come join us for a rewarding career contributing to helping and serving our 190 member countries.
