Career opportunities have opened left and right for development professionals in the Asia-Pacific region — and beyond — as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank recently concluded its second round of job postings following its successful launch of operations in late December.
Following a first round of recruitment in mid-November, as of Jan. 8, a total of 38 management and administrative positions are now closed for applications from potential staff, with the Beijing-based bank hoping to beef up personnel and hit the ground running. A bank representative shared that the past few months remain “a transitional period for us.”
