THE POSITION:

The Director of Strategy and Delivery, in the Office of the President’s Office, provides technical and operational support to the President to ensure strategic focus and the effective delivery on the Bank’s work program as well as reinforcing compliance and accountability. As suggested by the title, the position has two inter-related focus areas: strategy and delivery.

In terms of strategy, the role primarily consists of assisting the President in formalizing the Bank Group’s strategic-planning processes, forging new working relationships and synergies across the institution, and establishing greater transparency and accountability for staff carrying out the Bank Group’s strategy.
