    PODD works with Procurement Policy & Advisory Department (PPAD) to ensure a common approach is taken by the Bank to procurement undertaken by the Bank's clients and for the Bank's own requirements.

    • Maintain effective and professional working relationships with internal stakeholders and where relevant participate in project teams established to manage specific procurement projects.
    • Provide support to the analysis of spend data.
    • Contribute to the collation and review of market data in relation to specific procurement projects
    • Validation of data in SMART and analysis of data integrity checks (D&B, Worldcheck etc.)

    What is it like to work at the EBRD?


    Our agile and innovative approach is what makes life at the EBRD a unique experience You will be part of a pioneering and diverse international organisation, and use your talents to make a real difference to people's lives and help shape the future of the regions we invest in.


    The EBRD environment provides you with:

    • Varied, stimulating and engaging work that gives you an opportunity to interact with a wide range of experts in the financial, political, public and private sectors across the regions we invest in;
    • A working culture that embraces inclusion and celebrates diversity;
    • An environment that places sustainability, equality and digital transformation at the heart of what we do.
    Diversity is one of the Bank's core values which are at the heart of everything it does.

    A diverse workforce with the right knowledge and skills enables connection with our clients, brings pioneering ideas, energy and innovation.

    The EBRD staff is characterised by its rich diversity of nationalities, cultures and opinions and we aim to sustain and build on this strength.

    As such, the EBRD seeks to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and given equal opportunities and works in an inclusive environment.

    The EBRD encourages all qualified candidates who are nationals of the EBRD member countries to apply regardless of their racial, ethnic, religious and cultural background, gender, sexual orientation or disabilities.

    As an inclusive employer, we promote flexible working and expecting our employee to attend the office 50% of their working time.


    Right to Work in the UK: Swiss nationals (and all other non-UK employees) can work in the UK without a Visa - working at the EBRD gives all employees "exempt status".

    The Bank however encourages all non-UK employees to obtain an Exempt Vignette (EV) prior to relocating to the UK, as without an EV you may face more questions at Border Control and when required to show evidence of their exempt status when renting accommodation under the Right to Rent legislation.

    The application process may take 3 – 4 weeks approx. outside of the UK.
