Together, these pillars reflect the balance needed for international investment to support sustainable development. The Head of the Investment Division will contribute to advancing the strategic objectives of the Secretary-General in the area of international investment, advance the impact of policy recommendations across the OECD Investment Committee’s four pillars of work, and ensure effective engagement with stakeholders and partners both inside and outside the Organisation.

Knowledge of the investment regimes of OECD member countries and major emerging economies would be an advantage. Excellent knowledge of one of the official languages of the Organisation (English and French) and a working knowledge of, or willingness to learn, the other language.
