Senior Compensation Analyst - Paris, France - OECD - OCDE

Description

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives.

Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world.

Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges.

From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.

The Trade and Agriculture Directorate (TAD) provides relevant and timely information and advice to support the efforts of governments to improve the domestic and international performance of their trade, agriculture, food and fishery policies and to maintain the orderly use of export credits.

It is the focal point for the OECD's work on agriculture, both international and domestic, and it works to advance the Strategic Orientations of the Secretary-General, ensuring impact of the OECD Agriculture work in the international governance architecture.

The Agriculture and Resource Policy Division (TAD/ARP) works across three main areas of agriculture and food policy, mainstreaming sustainability concerns throughout: monitoring and evaluating agricultural policy developments, benchmarking countries policy performance, through performance indicators and in-depth country reviews, with a particular focus on innovation for sustainability agricultural productivity; and analysing current and future policy alternatives related to climate change, environment and resources in agriculture.

TAD/ARP is looking for a Senior Policy Analyst to lead the ARP unit on climate change environment and resources and conduct studies on the policy interactions between agriculture and climate change, environment and natural resources.

That will include analysing policies for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the agriculture, forestry and other land use sector, and managing water challenges in agriculture.

The selected person will report to the Head of the Agriculture and Resource Policy Division in TAD.

Provide intellectual leadership on the interface of agriculture and the environment, and develop domestic and international policy implications and recommendations.

Lead the Division's contribution to horizontal activities on climate change in agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU), and collaboration with other Directorates on the environmental impact of subsidies, biodiversity, or water issues as they relate to agriculture.

Contribute to the Division's analysis on agriculture's climate change adaptation and mitigation policies and agricultural water management, including through the assessment and, where necessary, adaptation of existing methodologies, using qualitative or quantitative approaches.

Maintain a network of contacts with Delegations, governments, other international organisations, universities, and research institutes in the fields of agricultural economics and environmental economics.

Lead the organisation of meetings of the Joint Working Party on Agriculture and the Environment, co-ordinate with the Bureau, prepare draft agendas, summary records, papers and presentations for meetings.

Respond to requests for information on agriculture and the environment.
Actively contribute to the communication of outputs on agriculture and environmental issues, in relation with the communication unit.

Manage staffing contracts, and raise funding when this can usefully complement the Programme of Work.

Eight to ten years' experience in policy analysis acquired in a national government, a research environment or in another international organisation.
