Open for business: AIIB posts job vacancies as operations begin

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has officially opened its doors to management and administrative-level talents in a raft of positions at the world’s newest multilateral institution.

Officially launching its operations on Christmas day in a somewhat low-key ceremony — with only Chinese finance minister Lou Jiwei and the bank’s inaugural president-designate Jin Liqun in attendance — the Beijing-based bank is ramping up its recruitment drive to be able to start disbursing loans and launching projects by the second quarter of this year.

While the first batch of job postings came in November last year — which expired towards the end of December last year — and included executive positions such as director general posts and various vice presidential roles for investment, corporate operations, finance, administration and general counsel, the second batch of openings include sector specialists for operations, environment, social development, finance, procurement, treasury, budget management, human resources, and auditing, among others.
