Description
East Asia Pacific (EAP) is a large and diverse region, ranging from Small Island States of the Pacific to the Philippines, Indonesia and China. Despite substantial economic growth and poverty reduction, the EAP region faces huge development challenges. Growth has been uneven across and within countries, institutions still need strengthening, and most countries are heavily affected by climate change. The WBG plays a significant role on global public goods, including climate, biodiversity, water pollution, and health. The World Bank Group is seen as a premier development institution in EAP, with a leadership role on analytical and advisory services as well as financing.
Digital technologies offer a unique opportunity to transform development through digital solutions. The Digital and AI Vertical Vice Presidency, and its global and regional teams, support client countries in building their capacities for Digital and AI use. The WBG Digital and AI Vertical is led by a Vice President and was established in July 2024. Our work is anchored in the Digital and AI Strategy, which includes four pillars: access, affordability, ecosystem and AI readiness. The Digital and AI Strategy identifies the priorities that WBG will engage in over the next five years. The Vertical deploys a range of products, services, and partnerships to advance global knowledge across the four pillars of the Strategy through:
The WBG engagement in Digital is rapidly growing in the EAP in response to increased client demand for knowledge, technical assistance and financing. The Lead Digital Specialist will lead selected strategic or complex Digital knowledge and operational activities in Indonesia and Timor Leste, coordinate with the ASEAN Secretariat and among ASEAN members on digital issues, and support the delivery of the digital work program across EAP, ensuring technical and operational excellence, and alignment with the Digital and AI Strategy Implementation Plan (FY26–30) and the WBG’s corporate priorities, including the more and better jobs (MBJ) agenda. The Lead Digital Specialist will also play a key role in ensuring that digital activities and initiatives are well-coordinated and integrated across country and regional portfolios in EAP.
The position is based in Jakarta, Indonesia, and reports to the Practice Manager (PM) for Digital & AI for EAP (DEPDU). Key responsibilities include:
Selection Criteria

The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Our vision is to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet. We are not a bank in the common sense; we are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 189 member countries: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different but collaborative role in advancing the vision of inclusive and sustainable globalization. The IBRD aims to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy poorer countries, while IDA focuses on the world's poorest countries. Their work is complemented by that of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Together, we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credits and grants to developing countries for a wide array of purposes that include investments in education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and private sector development, agriculture and environmental and natural resource management.
