    Description


IFC has embarked on an ambitious growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected Situations (FCS).

This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively working "Upstream" to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, design 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, and 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 Investment Officer to join the Infrastructure Upstream team to be based in either Dakar, Senegal or Johannesburg, South Africa.


Roles and Responsibilities:

  • Support the identification and assessment of Upstream opportunities based on country and sector strategies and market creation potential.
  • Contribute to the development of feasibility studies and implementation plans for Upstream projects that lead to IFC investments.
  • Assist in designing and implementing scalable solutions and platforms similar to "Scaling Solar" that can be replicated across markets.
  • Help spot gamechanging trends, technologies and business models that can bring solutions to emerging markets.
  • Produce regular reports on the assigned Upstream portfolio including monitoring progress against project milestones and KPIs.
  • Contribute to sectorspecific data analysis and stresstesting of various operating models to help generate ideas for new projects, new products and platform businesses.

Selection Criteria

  • Master's in Business Administration or Finance, or a Master's degree or equivalent professional qualification in Economics, International Relations, Science, Engineering, or other relevant field, in each case with a significant level of finance content.
  • At least seven (7) years of relevant experience in project and/or program development, handson advisory and/or consulting functions in emerging markets, ideally in the infrastructure space.
  • Familiarity with the Africa region, including handson work across different countries in the region.
  • Genuine commitment to development and to the World Bank Group and IFC's mission, strategy and values.
  • Understanding of IFC's strategic priorities and changing business model against the backdrop of IFC 3.0.
  • Capacity to innovate and challenge the status quo and experience in new idea generation, business development, and creating projects/programs from scratch.
  • Understanding of the relevant sector and ability to link policy reforms, advisory interventions, investment, and mobilization to deliver solutions at a country level via the Cascade approach.
  • Ability to engage with private sector clients, local and national governments and other stakeholders to encourage pioneering business and market development.
  • Experience in project/program management, including executing against implementation plans with defined business development milestones.
  • Experience in monitoring and reporting on a portfolio of projects/programs/initiatives.
  • Outstanding analytical and critical thinking skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communications skills in English required; French, Portuguese and Arabic desirable.
