Priority is given to applicants with relevant professional experience in the region; work experience in international organizations; and with experience working in multi-national teams.

Applicants for Professional Positions must:

• Possess very good academic background (those with post-graduate degrees such as MBA, MS, or Ph. D. are given preference)
• Have considerable expertise and years of experience in their profession
• Have experience in an international environment with involvement in transition economies
• Have proficiency in both spoken and written English
• Have the flexibility to work with other nationalities and with different cultural backgrounds

The Selection Process

Vacancies are advertised in the media and on BSTDB’s website. The Bank only accepts applications for advertised vacancies, sent by the interested applicants within the published deadline. The Bank does not accept unsolicited applications for upcoming vacancies.

BSTDB’s Human Resources Department initially evaluates the applications and refers the best qualified applicants to hiring departments/offices for further review before taking the decision to invite some applicants for interview.

Initial Appointment/Career
