Working at LuxDev
As Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency, LuxDev employs around 600 people - about 80 at headquarters and more than 500 in the field.
At headquarters
Around 80 people work at our headquarters in Luxembourg. The main roles of headquarters include shaping the Agency’s overall strategy, setting and updating standards, leading evaluations, conducting internal reviews, and coordinating audits.
Our team plays a key role in ensuring projects and programs run smoothly, offering expert support across a variety of areas: sector-specific and thematic expertise, project management, evaluations, quality and knowledge management, procurement, finance and accounting, IT, communication, audits and controls, HR, and general administration.
Even though these roles are based in Luxembourg, many team members get the chance to experience field realities firsthand through missions to our country or regional offices.

In the field
LuxDev has offices in the countries where it operates. These offices are responsible for coordinating and supervising field operations.
Each country or regional office is led by a resident representative, who acts on behalf of the Agency’s Executive Committee with local authorities and international cooperation partners. They’re closely involved in designing and delivering projects and programs. The resident representative is supported by a Financial Controller who handles the office’s finances, and one or more programme officers who coordinate projects alongside technical and support advisors and local staff. This team covers a wide range of tasks, including admin, IT, accounting, safety and security, logistics, HR, and more.

We regularly recruit experts – chief technical advisers and technical advisers – across the sectors we work in. As an expert, you’ll help deliver activities planned as part of our projects and programs and support the capacity-building of our partner institutions. We’re looking for professionals from all backgrounds and cultures with strong technical expertise. If you’re skilled at sharing your knowledge and comfortable working in multicultural environments, that’s a big plus. Expert roles are open to all nationalities, and while they’re not salaried employees of LuxDev, experts work on an independent contractor basis.
We also hire local staff to help implement our projects and support operations at our country or regional offices. These roles include admin, accounting, and technical support in specific fields. Applicants of any nationality are welcome, but they must hold a valid work permit for the country in question.
