Job description

Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

The Fund seeks a highly organized and experienced Projects Analyst to administer the work programs of the IMF Family Association (IMFFA) and the IMF Retirees & Alumni Association (IMFRA), as well as support the Fund’s Human Resources Department (HRD). The IMFFA provides a welcoming and supportive community for families of staff members; it offers spouses and families of Fund employees a variety of social programs, services, and events. The IMFRA helps current and future Fund retirees and alumni navigate retirement-related topics, represents their interests, fosters cooperation between the Association and the Fund, and helps retirees and alumni stay in touch with each by organizing social, educational, and other activities. The incumbent formally reports to HRD’s Organizational Change Management Unit and performs support work for both associations on behalf of the IMF. The IMF retains overall responsibility for the employment relationship, including hiring, promotion and termination decisions. Under Fund oversight, on a day‑to‑day operational basis, the role will support the Boards of Directors of IMFFA and IMFRA. Currently, both associations are working on a hybrid basis, with some days of in‑office work at IMF Headquarters and others remotely. The position’s workload typically requires 40 hours a week, allocated equally between the two organizations. Occasionally, events may require additional hours or work on evenings and weekends. During periods of reduced IMFFA and IMFRA activity, the incumbent may also support the work of HRD’s Organizational Change Management Division, which includes employee engagement, health & wellness, support for diversity and inclusion, and internal communications initiatives.

• Build strong relationships with key IMF departments and, as appropriate, forward communications to IMFFA/IMFRA Board members or relevant Fund offices, providing timely follow‑up and coordinating responses to requests.
• Where appropriate, plan, support and deliver work programs and activities.
• Organize and coordinate meetings and videoconferences.
• Support tracking and follow‑up of Board decisions, actions and timelines.
• Create and maintain administrative, financial, governance and programmatic files/folders.
• Support onboarding process for new Board members, including onboarding materials and relevant administrative arrangements.
• Provide support for meetings, seminars, workshops, excursions and social events.
• Support Board Chairs when needed.
• Manage planning and delivery of events with the provision of detailed administrative and logistical support.

• Where appropriate, plan, support and deliver IMFFA and IMFRA publications, including proofreading, editing, design and dissemination of materials to target audiences.
• Coordinate procurement related and administrative arrangements with vendors, instructors, speakers and other service providers, including required documentation and follow‑up with relevant IMFFA/IMFRA and Fund offices.
• Support HRD Change Management Division through effective project coordination, stakeholder engagement, visual communications, and administrative support.
