Salaries for global development roles depend on factors ranging from location to type of organization or sector. Most organizations have salary grids to structure how much they pay their employees, but not all of them are public.
Since last year, Devex has encouraged recruiters to include salary information in their job postings, which we make highly visible to job seekers. These are displayed in different currencies and time frames — by hour, day, month, or year. Our aim is to provide insights to both job seekers and recruiters and foster a globaldev culture of salary transparency. At the time of writing, about 20% of postings on Devex’s job board include salary information.
Using the data we’ve collected so far, we’ve produced the first in a series of articles highlighting salary trends across the development sector. For this first analysis, we studied over 200 director-level jobs published on our board over the second half of 2021 that are based in the United States. The job titles analyzed included director, deputy director, associate or assistant director, and senior director.
