Providing high-quality policy advice, multi-disciplinary perspectives and peer-learning approaches, the OECD is a unique International Organisation which sets standards and defines best practices in almost every field of economic and social policy.

A hub for the discussion of global policy issues, the OECD interacts with governments, international organisations, parliamentarians, the business sector, trade unions, academics, media and NGOs, and in doing so leverages its position to build an unprecedented network of knowledge, based on a deep-rooted conviction about the benefits of multilateral co-operation.

In the OECD’s efforts to contribute towards a fair and inclusive world, we first strive to provide a workplace where everyone feels that they belong. The OECD strongly believes that diversity and inclusion must go hand in hand to be successful.

A core strength of the Organisation is that its employees reflect the rich diversity across all its member countries. This in turn not only allows us to attract and retain the best talent from all cultures, identities and abilities across generations, but also creates a healthier and more productive organisation, which is associated with better decision-making, increased innovation and more relevant policy outcomes.

As an equal opportunity employer we welcome the applications of all qualified candidates who are nationals of OECD member countries, irrespective of their racial or ethnic origin, opinions or beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, health or disabilities. The OECD is also committed to promoting policies internally that ensure all staff within the Organisation feel they belong and can perform to their best capacity in a supportive and respectful working environment.

The OECD is Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE) Certified and is actively participating in the Workplace Pride Benchmark Survey.

The Organisation offers both formal and informal ways to develop your career through a range of open access online courses and trainings available on the go via mobile devices.

• Various trainings are offered for technical tools as well as transversal skills such as management and leadership, communication and collaboration. There are numerous fora for peer-to-peer learning, which is enhanced by the diversity of our staff with a broad range of academic and professional backgrounds. In addition, the wide array of conferences, workshops and events hosted by the OECD provide an ideal setting for knowledge sharing.
• Language classes in English and French are also available to staff seeking to improve their level in either of the Organisation’s official languages.
