Manager, Client Services (HRS) Career Opportunity at World Bank ...

As one of the premier development organizations, the World Bank has an undisputable and critical role in assisting countries to reach their development goals. In this role, the World Bank needs to attract, develop and retain staff of the highest technical and professional caliber. In order to maintain the Bank’s competitive advantage as provider of global expertise, Human Resources (HR) need to develop and maintain employment and compensation policies which provide the Bank with the diversity, flexibility and mobility necessary to respond to a changing business environment and support greater decentralization of the Bank’s business. The World Bank is operating in a rapidly changing global environment which brings a variety of interesting challenges. In addition, several factors affect the World Bank’s operational model, including: an increasing need for decentralization to ensure efficient and effective delivery of services; an exponential evolution in technology and its impact in the work place; outsourcing and off shoring; and the dramatically changing demographics of the labor markets. Importantly, over the past few years, the Bank is seeking to attain productivity gains through internal budget allocation and a flat overall budget. Our staff needs to be of the highest technical and professional caliber possible, and the organization needs to be flexible and agile to meet rapidly changing client needs and corporate priorities in a global business environment. HR’s organizational structure consists of three departments, each headed by a Director: (a) Client Services; (b) Employment Policy & Compensation, and (c) Performance & Development. This position is that of the head of the Client Service Team that supports the Latin America & Caribbean Region . The World Bank Group serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR). Clients range from large sophisticated middle income clients to IDA countries to small Caribbean states to one fragile state. Despite immense resources, dynamic societies, and an average annual per capita income of about $4,000, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region’s people living in poverty. The Bank’s strategy in LCR is focused on four pillars: a) stimulating growth and improving competitiveness; b) reducing poverty and inequality; c) making governments and institutions work for people; and d) providing a platform for tackling global issues (climate change, trade, disease, migration). The LCR Regional structure includes six Country Management Units (CMUs), three Sector Management Units (SMUs), an Operations Support Unit (OSU), and several regional units (Chief Economist’s Office, Resource Management, and External Relations). CMUs are accountable for overall country programs, consistent with objectives articulated in the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS). Based on work program agreements with the CMU, sector staff and teams in the SMUs are accountable for delivering and managing the portfolio of lending and non-lending products. OSU brings together core services including quality assurance, procurement and financial management to enhance operational standards and to enable the Region to meet its fiduciary responsibilities. The Latin America Region emphasizes strong client orientation and responsiveness; innovation and high quality; results; teamwork and collaboration across sectors; and a dedication to attracting and developing a diverse and talented staff. Sustainable Development Focus and Organization This position reports to the Director, Client Services Department which encompasses the HR Client teams, Regional/Operational, Networks, Corporate; Talent Management; and Global Mobility.
