Are you looking to get into a VPS or VPC role?. Anything in operations (other than COO or country rep) you're not going to have much of a chance of, unless you are looking to work as a senior specialist in that country to support a specific loan. You can also work as a consultant (but they prefer locals for this). My suggestion is to connect with the country rep or review the country strategy to get a feel for the sectors that you can potentially support and then connect with the senior specialist to that loan on it.
