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 2023, IFC committed a record US$43.7 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 global compounding crises. For more information, visit www.ifc.org.

IFC's PPP Transaction Advisory (CTA) department is focused on assisting governments to develop private sector participation (PSP) projects involving the management, financing, and operation of infrastructure to private companies, through private-public partnerships (PPPs). IFC has established an advisory services program for the Caribbean, which is covered by a team fully dedicated to CTA in the Caribbean. The core objective is to promote private sector development and hence contribute to infrastructure development, better access to services and poverty reduction in the Caribbean.

CTA is now seeking to recruit an Investment Officer to join the Caribbean team based in Washington DC, USA, to help lead business development activities, execute transactions and actively manage portfolio projects in the region. It will be considered a plus if candidates have previous experience in projects and team coordination activities.

Roles & Responsibilities:
The Investment Officer's work will involve leading the implementation of advisory mandates of a variety of types, including the preparation of reports, interactions with clients, financial modeling, drafting bidding Terms of Reference, and supervision of consultants. All these activities will be performed from the Washington DC office. Main duties and responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

Business Development:
• Assist the head of the Caribbean program with marketing activities, taking a proactive approach to developing new client contacts and project leads.
• Take the lead in the preparation of proposals or mandates for new projects; the preparation and negotiation of client proposals and overseeing internal approval processes.
• Develop a thorough understanding of the region, particularly its infrastructure sectors, provide market intelligence and knowledge of developments on the PPP environment.

Transaction Execution:
• Lead several mandates simultaneously with different project teams.
• Oversee less experienced staff on project teams, ensuring quality execution, good client service and development of staff.
• Assist in (or, when in the role of team leader, be responsible for) the design of Terms of Reference for specialized consultant support to project teams, the selection and management of consultants, requests for proposals and applications for funding for consultant costs.
• Lead technical, legal, regulatory, financial, and commercial assessment of advisory transactions, as well as project structure design.
• Be able to directly develop complex financial models for PPP projects and oversee junior staff in the production of financial models.
• Manage the drafting and negotiation of contractual and bidding documents such as concession agreements, etc.
• Lead the marketing of the transaction to potential private sector investors.
• Manage the execution of competitive, transparent tender processes, and the resultant finalization of contractual agreements between investors and client governments.

Other duties:
• Coordinate closely with social, environmental, and investment colleagues in order to add value to our clients' projects.
• Develop reports for Senior Management upon request.
• Perform other duties as requested by senior members of the team.

Selection Criteria
• MBA or equivalent degree in business, finance, economics or similar.
• At least 10-years' experience in business consulting, project finance, investment banking and/or infrastructure advisory, with good knowledge, networks, and credibility within the business and governmental communities, ideally including in the Caribbean.
• Deep understanding of the infrastructure business and experience in working with different infrastructure sub-sectors.
• Understanding of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and different structures for engaging the private participation in the delivery of infrastructure services.
• Strong track record of contractual and/or financial closings of infrastructure transactions.
• Experience in dealing with government clients, investors, and multiple stakeholders of infrastructure projects.
• Experience in successfully managing diverse project teams in multiple transactions.
• Strong financial, analytical, and modeling skills; sound business judgment; ability to find creative solutions to accommodate different interests. Experience in reviewing legal documents and/or technical studies will be a plus.
