Job Description

  ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

The Institute of International Finance (IIF) is one of the world’s largest global associations of financial institutions with member firms in more than 75 countries. We serve as a forum for exchanging views and developing proposals on global financial issues; we advocate for regulatory, financial, and economic policies that are in the broad interests of our members and foster global financial stability and sustainable economic growth; and we provide our members with an independent source of economic and financial research.

INTERNSHIP SUMMARY

The IIF is seeking an outstanding and highly motivated undergraduate or graduate to provide support to its Executive Office. Responsibilities would include, but are not limited to, assisting senior staff with developing memoranda, letters, reports, background papers and talking points for speeches or briefings and participating in special projects as needed. The individual may also help in planning, scheduling, and coordinating meetings. It is important to keep in mind that the individual should possess intellectual curiosity as the topics that are worked on can vary greatly. This is a part-time unpaid internship; however, it offers an excellent opportunity to enhance your knowledge, experience, sharpen your research skills and may qualify for academic credit. We request a minimum commitment of 12 to 15 hours a week, with up to 20 hours a week available. Scheduling is flexible and can be either an online internship or an in-person/hybrid internship with in-office time starting September 2022. 

IIF is pleased to provide its staff with a hybrid work environment: staff members are required to work in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays but have the option of working remotely on Mondays and Fridays.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

A successful candidate should have excellent written skills and be able to operate under tight deadlines. The candidate should also have demonstrable experience working in an office environment, strong verbal communication skills, be detail-oriented, possess exemplary organization and time management skills, and have the ability to work in an independent environment. The candidate should also have solid research skills – both qualitative and quantitative – and be able to synthesize information effectively. A degree in business, economics, international relations, or public policy is preferred but a comparable degree in a related discipline may be acceptable. Proficiency in Microsoft Office 360 Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is required.

To receive full consideration for this internship, please submit a cover letter and resume when applying. For more information about the IIF, please refer to our website at https://www.iif.com.
