The IFC 3.0 strategy aims to stimulate more investment activity across emerging markets, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected States (FCS). This strategy aims to create new opportunities for private investments in riskier markets and sectors by proactively working “upstream” to create, deepen, and expand markets and design and develop potential investment projects. Achieving these growth and impact ambitions at scale requires a different approach to business development, deal sourcing, and client support that relies on 1) a broader product offering to engage earlier in the project cycle and secure opportunities; 2) a greater focus on preparing clients in nascent markets and sectors for investment; 3) a greater focus on value addition and risk management of portfolio investment clients to enhance their performance; and 4) a longer time horizon and a more patient, longer-term perspective.

IFC is seeking to hire an Investment Analyst to support Upstream and Advisory work in the Southern Africa region with a focus on one or more of the following sectors: Manufacturing, Agribusiness, Tourism, Retail, Property and Health. The Investment Analyst will support the development of high-quality investment pipeline through research, analytical and operational work.

**Role & Responsibilities**:

- Provide research and analysis on relevant sectors, markets and companies, including market mapping, comparator analysis, and sector and company financial projections/models. Research will focus on identifying and analyzing potential companies that IFC can engage.
- Analyze historical and projected financial statements of companies within the sector and interest in Southern Africa countries to support informed decision making.
- Extract data from internal and external databases, interpret, analyze and tailor presentation of data for various audiences; update/maintain information in relevant databases.
- Support ongoing/current Advisory programs in Manufacturing, Agribusiness and/or Services, including identifying opportunities for expanding IFC’s Advisory-enabled investments.
- Review, screen and prepare relevant business documents, presentations, and reports.
- Support the Upstream-Advisory team with overall project management, planning and monitoring of deliverables to ensure timely and quality delivery of the work program.
- Prepare documentation for IFC internal processes.

**Selection Criteria**
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, International Relations, Science, Engineering, or other relevant field. MBA or Masters degree preferred.
- At least 3 years work experience in banking, consulting, or another fast-paced, analytical, knowledge-based work environment.
- Attention to detail and quality, thoughtful scenario analysis, and diligence in the quality of one’s own work.
- Genuine commitment to development, the World Bank Group and IFC's mission, strategy, and values.
- Strong analytical and conceptual skills including corporate/project finance.
- Ability to develop complex financial models.
- Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and database skills.
- Ability to thrive under pressure and function effectively in a fast-paced environment under tight deadlines, while working on multiple projects.
- Excellent teamwork skills, ability to take initiative and work across organizational boundaries.
- Ability to build relationships with counterparties (internal and external) to exchange information required for internal processes.
- Strong written and verbal communications skills in English. French will be advantageous.
- Previous experience with development finance institutions/international organizations an added advantage
