Job Vacancy at International Finance Corporation

POSITION: E T Consultant

Description

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution concentrating on the private sector in emerging nations. We operate in over 100 countries, leveraging our resources, experience, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our purpose is to use the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity in a liveable world. For additional information, go to www.ifc.org.

The IFC has launched an ambitious new plan to boost investment activity by creating markets, including in Low-Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict Situations (FCS). This new strategy necessitates a shift in our approach to actively create, deepen, and expand markets and projects rather than waiting for clients to suggest initiatives for IFC to finance. This plan also calls for upstream collaboration with governments and World Bank colleagues to facilitate private sector solutions and finance. We refer to this strategy as the “Cascade.” Working with customers, we shall initially seek private sector solutions to development concerns where they are appropriate and effective, and reserve public financing for projects only where other options are inadequate.

The Manufacturing, Agribusiness, and Services sector team is looking for an Investment Analyst to work closely with IFC’s Investment Officers, who are in charge of originating, structuring, negotiating, and overseeing the Corporation’s investment projects. Investment Analysts identify new initiatives and support Investment Officers with transaction execution and portfolio monitoring.
