Since 1959, we’ve been a leading source of long-term financing for economic, social, and institutional development in Latin America and the Caribbean. We do more than lending though. We partner with our 48-member countries to provide Latin America and the Caribbean with cutting-edge research about relevant development issues, policy advice to inform their decisions, and technical assistance to improve on the planning and execution of projects. For this, we need people who not only have the right skills but also are passionate about improving lives.

We have earned the EDGE certification for the third time, which is a prestigious business distinction that recognizes our efforts to be an equitable workplace. EDGE has evaluated our organization on equal pay for equivalent work, recruitment and promotion, leadership development, training, mentoring; flexible working arrangements; and company culture.
As the first Development Bank in the Americas and second worldwide to earn the second level of this distinction: EDGE Move, we want to lead by example as we put equity at the center of our operations and talent management practices.
