Projects Analyst (Contractual) - IMFFA/IMFRA

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.

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.
