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. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.

IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity. This strategy calls for generating unique 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. This strategy also calls for working with Governments and World Bank colleagues to first seek private sector solutions to address development challenges - where such solutions are advisable and can be effective - and reserve public financing for projects only when other options are suboptimal. This approach is called the “Cascade”.

IFC’s Infrastructure Department is looking to hire an Investment Analyst to join IFC’s infrastructure investment team, which primarily covers the MCT Region (Middle East, Central Asia, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Pakistan). The position is based in Karachi, Pakistan, to support its business needs throughout the region. Investment Analysts work closely with IFC’s Investment Officers, who are responsible for the design, negotiation, structuring, and subsequent supervision of the Corporation’s investment projects. Investment Analysts help identify new projects and assist Investment Officers in executing deals, advising private companies on restructuring, and using new financial instruments (e.g., risk management tools). They also assist Investment Officers in the regular, periodic supervision of IFC’s debt and equity investments, including the preparation, evaluation, and execution of, amongst others, (i) waivers and amendments; (ii) debt rescheduling and/or restructuring transactions; and (iii) equity sales.

Create and analyze financial models
