Client Relationship Manager

OMFIF is a dynamic and independent think tank. Through our London-based team we produce research and events on world finance and economic policy. We have a comprehensive global network of economic, political and investment decision-makers. Our members come from both the public and private sectors and comprise some of the most well-known and respected financial and technology organisations in the world. In addition to membership, we offer bespoke meetings and research on global policy and investment themes.

OMFIF operates through four thematic institutes:

• The Economic and Monetary Policy Institute (EMP) convenes leaders from public and private sector institutions to discuss macroeconomic trends and shape the future of monetary policy and political economy.
• The Digital Monetary Institute explores the topic of payments, including digital currency as an alternative to cash, and brings together technologists and policy-makers at the heart of decisions relating to the future of finance.
• The Sustainable Policy Institute (SPI) focuses on sustainable finance, addressing the policy, regulatory and investment challenges posed by environmental, social and governance themes with those responsible for shaping the sustainability agenda.
• The Sovereign Debt Institute convenes issuers across the global sovereign, supranational and agency debt community for high-level, strategic and constructive dialogue on the key issues each side faces.

At OMFIF, we strive to maintain a start-up atmosphere where creative ideas are encouraged, with no two days the same. We are looking for entrepreneurial people from diverse backgrounds who are keen to develop their skills, gain responsibility and share our vision of realising full potential, embodying the company values of independence, innovation and integrity.
