About us: At the IDB, we’re committed to improving lives. Since 1959, we’ve been a leading source of long-term financing for economic, social, and institutional development in Latin America and the Caribbean. We do more than lending though. We partner with our 48-member countries to provide Latin America and the Caribbean with cutting-edge research about relevant development issues, policy advice to inform their decisions, and technical assistance to improve on the planning and execution of projects. For this, we need people who not only have the right skills, but also are passionate about improving lives.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for our Region, the IDB Group is reviewing its hiring needs and re-prioritizing its areas of talent acquisition. We encourage candidates to continue applying for active positions, however current job openings may be subject to additional decisions in terms of process time or other actions, based on business needs. Final hiring decisions may also be conditioned on the candidate's ability to transfer to the service position in a timely manner at the time of commencement of service.

Our team in Human Resources carefully reviews all applications.
