Chairman Kim Taehyun: "Talented Personnel Needed to Strengthen Overseas Office Roles"

The National Pension Service (NPS) is conducting a large-scale recruitment of fund management professionals to diversify its investments. On the 30th, the NPS announced through its Fund Management Headquarters that it will hold the 4th open recruitment. This recruitment will take place from September 30 to October 13, 2024.

The recruitment fields are divided into 10 areas within the Fund Management Headquarters, including management strategy, overseas stocks and bonds, real estate, infrastructure, and private equity, with a total of 15 positions to be filled. The hired personnel will be categorized into 6 responsible fund managers and 9 full-time fund managers, with 5 of them scheduled to be dispatched to overseas offices. Specifically, 2 will be assigned to New York, 2 to Singapore, and 1 to London.

Kim Tae-hyun, Chairman of the National Pension Service, stated, “The role of overseas offices is becoming increasingly important to improve the profitability of the National Pension. Since we have introduced a system that places recruits directly in overseas offices, we hope talented individuals will actively apply.”

The recruitment process will proceed through stages including ▲document screening ▲career verification ▲interview ▲final successful candidate announcement, with the final candidates expected to be appointed in December. The recruitment process is conducted in a blind manner to ensure that applicants’ personal information is not disclosed. Those who pass the document screening will undergo reputation checks through an external professional agency, and at the final verification stage, background checks and identity investigations will be conducted.

Applications can only be submitted through the National Pension Service website; submissions by mail, visit, or email will not be accepted. Duplicate applications for multiple recruitment fields are not allowed, and if no suitable candidates are found for a position, the recruitment may not proceed.

The National Pension Service aims to secure global experts through this recruitment to strengthen fund management capabilities alongside expanding overseas investments, and plans to provide these professionals with overseas training and specialized education opportunities.
