Vice-Presidency Context
The Budget, Performance Review, and Strategic Planning Vice Presidency (BPS) is organized into two Departments: BPS's Global Practices and Regions (BPSGR) with teams supporting Operational Units; and BPS's Corporate and Middle Office (BPSCM) with teams supporting Institutional, Governance, and Administrative Units as well as providing Corporate planning, budgeting, and reporting services. As a Resource Management (RM) function, BPS has the following key accountabilities: strategy and business planning; expense management; performance review and reporting; resource management infrastructure development and maintenance; internal controls and risk management; and resource management capacity building. BPS' service delivery model has three core roles: (1) Business Partners (serving clients directly with focus on decision support and performance oversight); (2) Centers of Expertise (providing thought-leadership and analytics, designing business finance policies, practices, and coordinating business finance knowledge management); and (3) Service Center (managing delivery of high volume and transactional and reporting services across Bank, including help desk support to clients).

Hiring Units Context
Within BPSGR supporting Operations and related clients, BPSCO and BPSDE are the Center of Expertise (COEs) providing thought leadership on planning, management analytics and reporting, guidance on relevant policies and practices and external funds subjects and are focused on analytical and support activities that are best carried out centrally within BPS, using standardized processes and definitions, ensuring consistency and efficiency.

BPS is now seeking to recruit two Resource Management Analysts (RMA), each assigned in BPSCO and BPSDE respectively. BPSCO supports units across BPSGR and is organized around 4 teams: (a) W process/Work Program Agreement planning/Operational analytics/Board Engagements; (b) Global Footprint/Global Mobility Assignment/Senior Management Analytics & Reporting; (c) BPSGR Coordination/Management Data, Analytics and Reporting; and (d) Medical Evacuation, Policy & STA/DAIS, and other RM policy advice; and continuing support to business process design in conjunction with other BPS teams as applicable. BPSDE provides client facing budget support resource management services to the Development Economics (DEC) vice-presidency and is the Center of Expertise (COE) for BPS on External Funds. BPSCO and BPSDE collaborate within BPS with all units including COEs of BPS to support management information needs in BPS and corporate units, Operations management and Bank senior management.
