Information for experienced professionals

For many experienced professionals, working in international cooperation is an exciting prospect. GIZ staff particularly value the enriching experience of engaging in a multicultural and interdisciplinary environment, the new perspectives they gain and the great sense of satisfaction when objectives are achieved.
Our staff profile is just as varied as our assignment opportunities. You can choose to start your GIZ career as a project design expert or planning officer, or opt for a regional role in managing a country office or project portfolio. Alternatively, a position in project management may play to your strengths. Whether you work in an advisory or managerial capacity, you will implement activities together with local partners.
Another key skill is negotiation expertise and a sensitivity towards foreign cultures. Your experience in project management is just as important for us as your managerial skills and a tactful approach to advising partner organisations and managing the challenges this involves.
Does this sound interesting? And do you have similar work experience? If so, we look forward to receiving your application.
