il y a 4 semaines
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
The Directorate for Legal Affairs (LEG) provides advice and information on the legal, institutional and procedural aspects of the Organisation’s activities. The Directorate also serves as co-ordinator of the discussions with candidate countries for OECD membership, which also involves supporting the review by OECD committees of the candidate countries’ alignment with some 270 OECD legal instruments.
Within LEG, the General Legal Affairs Division is responsible for internal legal matters of the Organisation, providing advice on issues including staff employment, internal employment litigation, the Organisation’s governance, budgetary and financial matters and dispute settlement.
We are looking to recruit a Senior Legal Adviser to serve as Head of the Unit in charge of staff and institutional matters (LEG IM) within the General Legal Affairs Division, and manage this Unit, which is a small and highly integrated team of lawyers. The successful candidate will work under the immediate supervision of the Head of the General Legal Affairs Division and under the direction of the Deputy Director and the Director for Legal Affairs.
