Description
IFC—a member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal year 2021, IFC committed a record $31.5 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information, visit www.ifc.org
IFC embarked in 2016 on an ambitious growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and countries in Fragile and Conflict affected Situations (FCS). While IFC continues to expand its traditional roles of advisory services and investment operations, IFC Management is developing its own pipeline of transactions by engaging the public and private sectors earlier in the project cycle. This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively working “Upstream” (i.e. prior to and/ or in anticipation of a project or investment), to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, design, unblock and implement investment projects. It requires taking a systematic approach to understanding the regulatory and sector bottlenecks that prevent the flow of private capital into productive investment in our member countries, as well as addressing these bottlenecks through World Bank Group engagement on policy reforms and programmatic interventions at the country and sector level. It also requires capacity to leverage WBG programs and projects to develop our own proactive sector interventions and to imagine and design projects even in the absence of reforms.
IFC is seeking an Operations Officer for Upstream with expertise in one or more infrastructure sectors. The selected candidate will join the Infrastructure and Natural Resources (INR) team in the Asia Pacific region. The INR team delivers financial and technical support to clients in the power, transport, telecoms, municipal & environmental infrastructure, gas and mining sectors. The selected candidate will support the conceptualization, execution and supervision of bankable and investible operations through Upstream engagements in infrastructure sectors, under the supervision of the Regional Upstream Lead.
