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) is a small and highly integrated team that provides advice and information on the legal, institutional and procedural aspects of the Organisation’s activities. The Directorate serves as co-ordinator of the discussions with candidate countries for OECD membership, which involves acting as interlocutor for the candidate countries, OECD Members and the different parts of the Secretariat. It also involves supporting the review by OECD committees of the candidate countries’ alignment with some 260 OECD legal instruments, as well as their evaluation of the candidate countries’ policies and practices, spanning almost every area of public policy.
We are currently co-ordinating the accession discussions with Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Peru and Romania and accession discussions are now getting underway with Argentina and Indonesia In this context and subject to the availability of the necessary funding, we are looking to expand our accession co-ordination team by recruiting two experienced Legal Advisors whose work will focus on assisting in the co-ordination of accession discussions.

S/he will thrive on multi-tasking in a particularly fast-paced environment, handling a substantial amount of information, and demonstrate good political and diplomatic sensitivity.
