Founded in 2008, the Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) is an independent think tank housed at Accion that uses rigorous research and advocacy to advance inclusive financial systems for low-income people around the world.   CFI’s vision is a world where all people are able to use financial services and participate in the economy to improve their lives and prosper.   Following its highly successful first decade, CFI recently adopted a new strategy focused on four thematic priorities collaborating with stakeholders globally to achieve the goal of enabling two billion people who are left out of – or poorly served by – the financial sector. These priorities are: - Consumer Protection - Data Risks and Opportunities - Women's Financial Inclusion - Green Inclusive Finance Achieving CFI’s vision requires research on how financial services can both reduce risks and help consumers adapt to the reality of climate change. It also involves conducting additional research and experimentation on how to address the remaining policy and norms barriers that impede progress on women’s participation in the formal financial system. CFI also seeks to better understand the risks and opportunities that the digital economy and the use of data pose in order to identify innovative solutions for managing those risks through regulation, data practices, and industry-wide solutions.   Position Summary  The CFI Managing Director (MD) will shape the vision for and drive the implementation of CFI’s strategy, building upon the Center’s strong foundation.
