    Devex Career Hub: The most active lesser-known development employers

    We looked at smaller, although highly active, global development organizations making significant contributions to the sector as well as how to land your first overseas role in development.

    By Katrina J. Lane // 18 October 2024

    The United Nations, Asian Development Bank, and Danish Refugee Council are some of the biggest hirers within the sector. However, there are also many lesser-known — but highly active — employers making significant contributions. If you’re aiming to break into or advance your career in this field, these organizations present opportunities worth exploring.

    In this edition of Career Hub, we looked at some of these smaller global development organizations, as well as how to land your first overseas role in development. Plus, featured job postings from the likes of Tetra Tech, USAID, and more.

    + Join us on Nov. 7: Our next event for Devex Career Account members will feature insights on how to kick-start or transition your career toward international roles with Thomas Hill, country director at the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Caroline Korda, an international coach and development career expert.
