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 OECD has earned a leading role in international tax issues. The Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (CTPA) is the focal point for the OECD’s work on all taxation issues, both international and domestic, and it works to advance the Strategic Orientations of the Secretary General, ensuring impact of the OECD tax work in the international governance architecture. The CTPA collaborates with other parts of the Organisation on issues such as the digitalisation of the global economy, tax and climate change, tax and inclusive growth, and the impact of taxation on labour markets and several other multidisciplinary projects. The CTPA also provides the analytical support to the OECD’s Committee on Fiscal Affairs, which consists of senior tax policy and administration officials from OECD countries, Associate and Partner countries and other international and regional tax organisations. It also supports the work of the 142 members of the Inclusive Framework on BEPS.  Through its work, the CTPA enhances the OECD’s global role in standard-setting, building knowledge, communicating with the world and interacting with governments and stakeholders from around the world to inform and influence policy making in the tax area.

The Task Force on Tax Crimes and Other Crime (TFTC) is mandated to improve co-operation between tax and law enforcement agencies as well as to improve the ability of tax administrations to identify, audit, investigate and disrupt tax crime and other serious financial crimes such as bribery, money laundering and corruption. The TFTC Secretariat is also in charge of managing the OECD Academy for Tax and Financial Crime Investigation, a unique multilateral capacity building activity that provides training on fighting tax crime and other financial crimes for government officials from developing jurisdictions.

The CTPA is looking for one or more Junior Advisors to support the work of the Secretariat of the Task Force on Tax Crimes and Other Crimes (TFTC), Tax and Crime Unit.
