Global public investors with investable assets of $43tn are at the heart of this network.

We produce research and events on world finance through the four institutes under the OMFIF umbrella:

• Digital Monetary Institute
• Sustainable Policy Institute

Each institute produces content for its members and clients, utilising its global network of economic, political and investment decision‑makers. Our members come from both the public and private sectors and comprise some of the most well‑known and respected financial and technology organisations in the world.

At OMFIF, we strive to maintain a start‑up atmosphere where creative ideas are encouraged, with no two days the same. We are looking for entrepreneurial people from diverse backgrounds who are keen to develop their skills and share our vision of realising full potential, embodying the company values of independence, innovation and integrity.

OMFIF plays a key role in bringing together the public and private sectors to discuss best policy and practice through its memberships, events, research and publications. This role will work across OMFIF, with a primary focus on the Digital Monetary Institute (DMI) and support for the Economic and Monetary Policy Institute (EMP).

DMI focuses on the future of money and convenes a global community of central banks, policy‑makers, payments service providers, banks and technology developers to explore the development, risks and opportunities of the new digital economy. With the payments and digital asset space experiencing unprecedented disruption, these high‑level interactions are more important than ever.

EMP brings together central banks, finance ministries and public investors to discuss monetary policy, economic and fiscal developments and regulatory standards, helping participants understand how peers and policymakers are reassessing risk, liquidity and investment strategy.
