Why we are recruiting


As part of the Centre for Regions, Trade and Geopolitics, the Forum's International Organisations and Humanitarian Agenda helps shape multilateral action and build prosperity and resilience of underserved communities in emerging and frontier economies.

The team pursues a three-pillar strategy to achieve this by (i) driving collaboration with International Organisations and International Finance Institutions through bilateral engagement as well as institutional frameworks, (ii) promoting an enabling environment for financing resilience through two global initiatives; the Resilience Consortium, and the Humanitarian and Resilience Investing Initiative, and (iii) advancing the humanitarian agenda by strengthening public-private collaboration.

The team continues to explore new collaboration opportunities that connect with the broader international finance and development agendas.

Launched at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022, the

Resilience Consortium


brings together ministers, chief executives and heads of international organizations to accelerate collective action across key resilience drivers for the global economy.

The Consortium provides a unique opportunity to business and public sector leaders to participate in a global effort to develop a deeper and more integrated perspective on resilience management.

The main goal of the Consortium is to set the agenda for public-private cooperation and investment to build resilient economies.
