Stop. Listen. You’re sat in a cocktail bar, nice shoes on, smoke in the air, tinted mirrors. An attractive stranger approaches and touches your elbow. “Excuse me, I couldn’t help but notice your nice shoes.” You thank them. Clearly compelled by your elegant demeanor, they ask what you do for a living. You smile, expensively: “I work at NATO<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a fantasy? Not for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an IGO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first, what is an IGO, and what does that have to do with NATO? Well, an intergovernmental organization (IGO) is a group that’s mainly composed of sovereign states or other intergovernmental organizations. These groups are – most of the time – formally created by treaties and serve nations who work together on matters of mutual self-interest. There are lots of IGOs, including the United Nations, the World Bank, the European Union and, of course, NATO. The G7<\/a> isn’t a legal entity but does also qualify as an IGO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IGOs bring world powers together to handle complex matters. This can include drafting agreements, resolving disputes<\/a> and handling international<\/a> tribunals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we’re at it, let’s touch on NGOs. NGO stands for non-governmental organization and is a term for a non-profit, voluntary citizens’ group. NGOs organize mostly humanitarian functions – think human rights, the environment and health. NGOs aren’t formally attached to governments, but governments often fund them. Got it? Great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does NATO do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what does NATO do? According to their website<\/a>, “NATO’s purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means.” Politically, it promotes democratic values and fosters cooperation on defense and security to solve problems, build trust and prevent conflicts. Militarily, NATO focuses on peaceful dispute resolution, but if needed, it has the power to undertake crisis-management operations. This is done via its founding treaty’s Article 5 or a United Nations mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

NATO’s decisions are made by consensus among its 32 member nations, with officials and experts consulting to address security challenges and respond to emerging threats.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 32 members of NATO include Belgium, Italy, United States, United Kingdom and France. You can find the full list of NATO countries here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, finally, what does NATO stand for? North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Or “Organizaci\u00f3n del Tratado del Atl\u00e1ntico Norte” for our hispano-hablante friends who call it “OTAN”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I work at NATO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting a job at NATO is competitive but not impossible. You’ll be facing stiff competition from some of the brightest minds in the world. So, with such high standards, how can you get your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 on top of the pile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs<\/a>, we aim to demystify the process for all of our graduates and set them up for success. That’s why we host our IGOs day each year, giving students the chance to connect with recruiters from the world’s top IGOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

In the case of NATO, represented by Thibault Jacobs<\/a>, we’ve taken down some timeless pointers for candidates to bear in mind.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re living in a fast-changing world with shifting priorities,” says Thibault. “While hard skills are essential for specific roles, soft skills are just as important. Often, students overlook these in their resumes or cover letters, but those soft skills – like communication, problem-solving, and adaptability – are key to standing out during the hiring process. Neither can we ignore the bigger, global<\/a> challenges we\u2019re facing, like climate change, rapid technological progress and rising political tensions. These issues are reshaping the skills and expertise we need.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

“Digital skills are a great example of something every candidate should have, as they\u2019re transferable across nearly all roles.”<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The truth is that NATO is looking for a wide range of profiles,” Thibault continues. “We’re not just looking for experts in military or geopolitical affairs. We’re also interested in people with backgrounds in things like logistics, human resources, diversity and inclusion, policy writing and even building management. But beyond technical expertise, what NATO values most is talent that can adapt to both external challenges and internal changes. Resilience is a big factor we assess during recruitment, as well as alignment with NATO\u2019s core values.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making your profile stand out for NATO careers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, first steps when you’re applying to work at NATO, do your research. “For students and recent grads, it\u2019s important to really understand what NATO is about,” Thibault says. “Get to know the organization, talk to people working here, and make sure you align with its values.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also need to demonstrate adaptability. “We encourage mobility within NATO,” said Thibault. “Which means moving from one department to another or taking on new roles. Be open to learning new skills and staying flexible to opportunities as they arise. There’s a huge opportunity for new positions within NATO. Right now, for example, we\u2019re hiring a lot of cyber specialists to help shape new policies that focus on things like AI<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

“And this isn\u2019t just for full-time roles; we also have programs for interns and others looking to get involved. That\u2019s part of what I work on, and it\u2019s pretty exciting.”<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, make sure you’re a fit for a diverse workforce<\/a>. “At NATO, diversity is absolutely key,” Thibault says. “There are 32 nations in NATO, and each one has an equal say. Every nation\u2019s voice carries the same weight, and the spirit of consensus is really at the core of how we work. But while diversity is a strength, it also presents challenges, and I think that\u2019s part of what makes working at NATO so interesting. Navigating those challenges and embracing diversity is what gives the organization its beauty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the panel discussion, IE students enjoy a jobs fair with recruiters from top IGOs. In recent years, this has included representatives from ECB<\/a>, UNSSC<\/a>, UNWTO<\/a>, IOM<\/a>, ITU<\/a>, INL<\/a>, EUIPO<\/a>, NATO<\/a>, ADB<\/a>, UNU<\/a>, NATO NCIA<\/a>, UNICEF<\/a>, UNHCR<\/a>, SATCEN<\/a> and IDB<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NATO is always looking to recruit talent from all 32 of our member countries,” Thibault says. “That\u2019s why we\u2019re here today – to explain what we\u2019re doing, what skills we\u2019re looking for, and how we can attract the future workforce for NATO in the years ahead.” He also highlights IE University’s role in shaping talent. “It\u2019s one of the largest and most well-known universities in Europe,” he emphasizes. “We have a long-standing relationship with IE, and we\u2019ve organized visits to NATO for students. The university\u2019s diverse offerings really align with what NATO needs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

“It\u2019s not just about looking for one specific type of profile; it\u2019s about drawing from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. IE University provides this.”<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For those who have job fairs<\/a> approaching, Thibault has some sound words of advice. “Ask questions,” he says. “And don\u2019t be afraid to apply for a job at NATO, even if the process might take some time. Really dive into the experience and enjoy it. Before you even apply, make sure you know what you’re getting into and be clear with yourself about what you’re looking for. And once you\u2019re through the process, stay curious. Keep growing and continue developing new skills and competencies – it\u2019s all part of the journey.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
