Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

The Division of Facilities (DF) is responsible for the full lifecycle performance of the organization’s-built environment—from daily operations and service delivery to capital planning, design, construction, and long-term asset renewal across headquarters and field locations.

Reporting to the Division Chief (DC), the Deputy Division Chief (DDC), Operations & Planning, Design and Construction (OPS + PDC), has oversight of the performance, governance, and outcomes of both Facilities Operations and Capital Projects delivery.

This role provides leadership over two mission-critical portfolios: Operations—ensuring safe, reliable, efficient, and resilient facilities services day-to-day; and Planning, Design & Construction (PDC)—ensuring disciplined delivery of capital programs that modernize, renew, and expand the facilities portfolio. Acting under the supervision of the Division Chief, the DDC serves as the primary point of accountability for facilities performance across both operating and capital domains

The DDC is the main point of contact for the HQ2 Asset Lifecycle Replacement Project, overseeing the work of the PDC Section and of the contractors and vendors engaged in that project. In managing that project the DDC will work closely with the Strategy, Resources and Risk Management Unit (SRU) to ensure budgetary accountability and with DF and Departmental Leadership to maintain accountability and reporting.

• Lead and supervise staff within the DDC’s areas of responsibility, including performance management, coaching, mentoring, and professional development.
• Advise on facilities risk, infrastructure resilience, capital needs, and delivery of capital projects.
• Leverage external best practices, benchmarks, and innovation, including through the use of technology, to continuously improve service delivery and performance for the areas under the DDC’s purview and advance analytics and dashboards for transparent performance reporting.
• Build strong partnerships with client departments and collaborate with other CSF divisions to ensure integrated and high-quality service delivery.
• Act on behalf of the DC, as needed, and represent the Division in departmental, interdepartmental, and Fund-wide forums.

Planning, Design & Construction Leadership

• Primary responsibility for the day-to-day oversight of the HQ2 Asset Lifecycle Replacement Project, including operational oversight of the PDC Section and the vendors and contractors engaged in that project; budget management and reporting, working closely with SRU and divisional and departmental leadership.
• Provide oversight of the capital portfolio from project planning through closeout across HQ and field locations.
• Ensure capital decisions are informed by operational risk, performance data, and maintainability requirements.
• Oversee the execution of Capital projects and maintain budgetary discipline across the Capital portfolio from planning to execution.
