Trade is an engine of growth that creates jobs, reduces poverty and increases economic opportunity. The World Bank Group helps its client countries improve their access to developed country markets and enhance their participation in the world economy and promote regional integration through common physical and institutional infrastructure.

The World Bank's Global Trade Policy & Integration Team (WKPTT) works to advance research, analysis, and policy dialogue on international trade and its role in promoting economic development, poverty reduction, and shared prosperity. The team produces a wide range of knowledge products, including reports, policy briefs, data tools, and communications materials aimed at a diverse audience of policymakers, researchers, and the general public.

To support the team's expanding knowledge and communications agenda, WKPTT seeks to hire a Communications and Data Analyst. This position will strengthen the team's capacity to communicate research findings effectively, manage and visualize data, and improve internal processes through automation.

Duties and Accountabilities

The Communications and Data Analyst will support the WKPTT team in three main areas: (i) external communications and content development; (ii) data management and visualization; and (iii) workflow automation.

Automation and Process Improvement

• Identify opportunities to streamline repetitive or manual team workflows and implement automation solutions accordingly.
• Develop and maintain scripts or tools to automate data processing, reporting, and communications tasks, as well as tasks for team management, such as cross-support time management.
• Provide technical support to team members in adopting digital tools that improve team efficiency and output quality.

Reporting Arrangements

The Communications and Data Analyst will report directly to the WKPTT Lead Economist and will work in close collaboration with other members of the WKPTT team and the broader Prosperity Vice Presidency.
