Regional Context
The World Bank Group serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR).

Clients range from large rapidly growing sophisticated middle-income clients to IDA countries to small Caribbean states to one fragile state.

Despite immense resources, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty.

The Bank's strategy in LCR is focused on five pillars:
(a) stimulating growth and improving competitiveness; (b) reducing poverty and inequality; (c) making governments and institutions work for people; (d) providing a platform for tackling global issues (climate change, trade, disease, migration); and (e) reducing risk, whether from extreme weather events, climate change, crime and violence, or other. During the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, LCR's strategy is being adjusted to help counties respond to unprecedented health and economic crisis by saving lives; protecting poor and vulnerable people; ensuring sustainable business growth and job creation; and strengthening policies, institutions, and investments. The Bank will support countries in pursuing a green, inclusive, and resilient recovery.

CMU and Country Office Context
The LC1 Country Management Unit (CMU) comprises Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela.

The Country Director is based in a decentralized office in Mexico City, which is supported by an Operations Manager and an office in Bogota, Colombia, headed by a Country Manager.

The Mexico country office has about 40 staff, covering all aspects of the operational business.

The CMU oversees a wide range of activities, including the Bank's financial services and a strong program of innovative knowledge, reimbursable, and convening activities.

The World Bank does not have an active engagement in Venezuela but is closely monitoring developments in the country. Extensive communication and coordination among virtual teams working in Mexico-City, Bogota and Headquarters in Washington D.C. is required.

The LC1 CMU is looking for an experienced, high-performing, energetic Team Assistant to serve the Mexico office. S/he would work closely with other members of the World Bank's country office team in Mexico and Colombia. The selected Team Assistant will be based in Mexico City and will report to the Operations Manager.

The World Bank Group is committed to achieving diversity in terms of race, gender, nationality, culture, and educational background. Individuals with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply.
