Most career guides about international organisations — the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, development banks, NATO — are written by people who left years ago, or never worked inside at all. This one isn't. International Careers was built by a former Air Force Officer who moved into career coaching and recruiting, then Big Four consulting at Ernst & Young, and then into the UN system itself — delivering technology and business transformation projects for organisations including WHO, UNHCR, IAEA, the Green Climate Fund, the Asian Development Bank, and the African Development Bank for the last four years. That work included something most career guides can't claim: designing and implementing the HR and recruitment systems that international organisations use to screen and hire candidates — and sitting on hiring panels as a decision-maker across multiple recruitment processes. The guidance here doesn't just come from having navigated the system as a candidate. It comes from having built the systems, made the hiring decisions, and coached professionals through the process from every angle. Along the way: living and working in Germany, the United States, Spain, and the Philippines — not as a tourist, but as someone building a life and a career across very different systems, cultures, and contexts. That path wasn't planned. It was built decision by decision, across sectors and continents, often without a map. Which is exactly why this platform exists.

This job board is the first layer — a free, curated feed of real vacancies from across the UN system, the World Bank, IMF, ADB, and AfDB, each linking directly to the official posting. No middlemen, no application hosting, no paywalls on the essentials.
