Maya Angelou once said, "history, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." Such is the ethos of the Race Equity Office (REO). The REO is a new unit in the World Bank Group established to prevent, monitor, and respond to systemic practices and procedures that contribute to racial discrimination within the organization.

The establishment of the REO is a result of a call for internal change with increased organizational responsiveness, support, and guidance to those who believe they have experienced discrimination based on race. We are a small but dedicated unit committed to providing substantive support, service, engagement, and remedy.

The REO is seeking to hire a dynamic and experienced Data Management and Communications Analyst to be a key member of the REO team to contribute to the Unit's efforts to enhance and document evidence-based results and outreach management.

Contribute to the eradication of racist discriminatory practice, policy, and relationships within the World Bank Group and specific targets in each of the REO programming areas such as engagement, outreach, advocacy, and knowledge production.
