In the context of the potential compounding impacts caused by climate change — as highlighted in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report, and the risks that this imposes on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities — both in terms of resources and conflict — the diversity of roles to respond to these issues, and thus also the diversity of individuals needed to fulfill them, has grown exponentially.
As an international development consulting firm, Chemonics collaborates on a wide variety of projects — from reimagining global supply chains that deliver essential medicines to mobilizing finance in response to climate change and working with governments to address root migration causes in Central America.
To learn how applicants can stand out when applying for a job at Chemonics, and more broadly, what individuals pursuing a career in international development consulting should keep in mind, we sat down with Chemonics’ senior director of talent management, Agnieszka Christian and senior specialist of talent management, Nicholle Colón Vargas.
